Great Job!!

Brenda helped me several years ago with a custody case that had been in and out of courts for years. Brenda was the lawyer that finally made it so that my child had a voice in the hearings. After years of fighting for more time with my child it finally happened. Thank you Brenda for all of your hard ...work and brutal honesty about how things may or may not go.

I highly recommend Brenda!

I was referred to Brenda from a family friend for a unique custody situation I was dealing with. Brenda was the only attorney in the Duluth area that gave me hope. She handled the situation with great professionalism and we won! I am now able to spend time with my child! I am deeply thankful to B...renda for all her hard work and support. I would recommend hiring her to any of my friends and family.

Great Lawyer and a Wonderful Person

Brenda Denton is top notch! Brenda helped me with a custody issue between my ex husband and I. She clearly explained my legal rights and discussed my case thoroughly so I knew what I was up against. Things turned out great after having a mediation with Brenda there by my side answering any question I... had. She was very down to earth and easy to talk to.

Did not work in my best interest

Hired her for my divorce preceedings. She gave me misinformation that hurt me financially and also with visitation issues. The case dragged on and on and cost me much more than it should have. I do not think she was working for my best interests. Biggest mistake I made hiring her

Best Lawyer Ever!!!!

I found Brenda while asking around town. I was in a horrible situation with my husband (whom I was trying to divorce) who was on drugs, controlling and crazy. She was so much help, she fought for me and my children. I would not stand for 50/50 custody due to his drug use. No matter what came up, she ...was prepared and took the time to make sure we had everything under control. After a difficult journey with my divorce, I am doing wonderful and would definitely recommend Brenda as an attorney. She was my savior!!!
