Exceptional Counsel

Dennis has represented me on several engagements over the years in Family Law matters and his professionalism, competence, effectiveness, and responsiveness have been foundation for successfully and confidently navigating those legal waters in every case!

The Best

I retained Dennis to represent me in a difficult divorce. I cannot thank Dennis enough. He was there for me where no on else was. He always made time for me and always made me feel like a priority. My case involved business valuations, forensic accountants and a Guardian ad Litem. He stayed on top... of all the complicated issues and was always a step ahead of my Wife's attorney. His courtroom demeanor and skill is unmatched. He put all the pieces in place and set me up to succeed. In the end, because of Dennis' preparation and negotiation skills, my case settled favorably to me. Dennis was exceptional.

Beyond satisfying experience!

In 2013 I was served custody/divorce papers from my unstable ex-husband! With no prior attorney knowledge, I walked into his office a crying mess and left feeling as if my case had already been won. I didn't have the easiest case, it felt as if my divorce would never be finalized and this monster ju...st kept trying to get custody of my kids. Dennis did everything above and beyond to make sure this didn't happen. Lines of communication were open with him 24/7 I could email him on a Saturday evening, and with in the hour have a response from him or if it were an emergency a phone call. When anything with our case changed, I was the first to know. He was honest, he didn't tell me what I wanted to hear, he told me what would actually happen. He was extremely reliable, many other clients would sit and wait for their attorneys mine was always on time and normally early. He was trustworthy, I could tell him things and know that it wouldn't go any further. If you think about it I put the safety of my kids in his hands and trusted that they would remain safe. I will admit that the price of his services was a bit expensive, however you truly get what you pay for and if you're upfront and honest they will help as much as they can. I was very pleased and happy with the results of my divorce. I can honestly say Dennis Horvath was worth every penny I paid. He truly loves what he does and cares about his clients and their families. Also his office was wonderful and always very welcoming. He knows what he is doing and I would confidently recommend him to anyone.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 29

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I fully endorse Mr. Horvath. My name is Dennis A. Rathburn, Esq., I have been an attorney since 1991 and my firm is Rathburn & Associates (www.RathburnAssociates.com). I have crossed paths with Mr. Horvath many times at the courthouse. The longest domestic case I had took about two and one-half years to close and Mr. Horvath was opposing counsel. The parties were both PH'd educated people with a large marital estate that included, real estate, accounts, pension plans that required QDRO's and personal property all needed divided. The parties also had minor children and the court appointed a Guardian ad Litem to resolve the minor child issues. There were many complex legal issues to address. Another challenging item was the parties were of Greek descent which made them hard to understand at times. Mr. Horvath presented himself with a high degree of skill. He was very professional and practiced with dignity and respect for all involved. I highly recommend & endorse Mr. Horvath."
