A Satisfied Client

Denise was a referral from a work colleague and I was extremely satisfied and impressed with the level of service and insight she provided. She was professional, thoughtful, and available throughout the five months my court hearings took place. As a father filing for custody of her daughter, she... took the time to listen, strategize, and meticulously prepare for our several hearings. I would highly recommend Denise if you looking to work with an experienced family attorney.

Denise Alter is an exceptional lawyer. She is so detailed and passionate about her job. She is a great divorce lawyer, honest and dedicated. Always willing to do the right thing to benefit her client and the children involved. She always has my back and tells me what is right. She looks calm, however..., do not take her calmness for stupidity or foolishness because she is equal to the task at any time. I am very glad I chose Denise Alter as my attorney. She made a complicated situation easier. She genuinely cares for her clients. I will recommend her for anyone who is looking for a good divorce attorney because she surely delivers.

An honest attorney

Denise helped me through a very messy custody case. She was supportive, informative & dependable. Since court Denise has gone out of her way on several occasions to get me copies of documents needed from my case & has also given her own personal time to help with other concerns. Denise always made ...me feel important through the entire process. I would recommend her to anyone!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
