Outstanding Attorney Recommendation

Denise intimately got to know our family, our financial situation, and our long term objectives. She presented our estate planning options, and more than once explained in depth some complicated tax situations and legal definitions. She guided us and helped us to come to our own decisions about wha...t was in the best interest of our family, and she did this with compassion and kindness. The documentation and communication that was provided was thorough and comprehensive. We concluded the process with receiving a binder filled with important documentation and "to do" lists. Since our initial estate planning, we have revisited our plans with Denise two times and have continued to be 100% satisfied and impressed with the level of professionalism and product we have received. Denise will be our attorney forever. We highly recommend her for your estate planning needs.

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.
