Traffic offenses

I’ve hired Dennis on multiple occasions from two driving 20 over the speed limits and my second dui.

My dui being my second one I was able to obtain the best outcome in my situation his whole team def...initely know what there doing and is very reasonable. Knowing my situation Dennis has always worked with me and was always there and came threw definitely will always use him and recommend him.

Determined Attorney

I would like to write this review to let anyone who's looking for a good attorney ; this is your man!I have been working with Dennis for a while on some issues concerning my disabled daughter. In this time I have found him to be very conscious of the issues that were a concern to me and that has n...ot always been the case. He was always prepared and knowledgeable when he needed to be.If there were things he didn't know about he made sure he took the proper time to research and get the correct information. Dennis always presents himself as professional, yet very able to identify with what one may be going through on a human level! When you need to get in touch with him, its not an automated machine you're getting!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent attorney; its been a priviledge to work with him. Elizabeth

Helpful, understanding, and extremely knowlegable.

I have met Dennis a few times through an engagement he was involved in. I have seen him help MANY people through his segment on the local morning radio show. So, when I needed some legal services, he was the first person to pop into my head. I emailed him and QUICKLY received a response. We talke...d a a few more times, and it was decided to take the case. His rates, very reasonable. His attitude, caring. His communication, out of this world. I never would have thought I would have that type of communication from a lawyer. If you need any help, advice, or guidance with legal issues, Dennis is the man to go to.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
