Highly Recommend!

I went though a divorce and Dena was amazing thoughout the whole process. She kept me informed on anything dealing with our case. Easy to talk to and very understanding! She made it easy to understand the process and put into "simple" terms since I do not know any law terms. I would highly recomm...end her!

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
