Patricia Lucille Dennis

I am so happy with the outcome of my case! I was in a huge mess with my children's father over visitation and child support when I decided to get an attorney. Ms. Dennis did more for me than I thought possible, if you're looking for an attorney that will fight for you then I highly recommend this a...ttorney!

Ms. Dennis was our adoption lawyer for over a year. During this time she rarely returned calls (and at one point I was calling once a day for THREE MONTHS - I never had a response). She claimed to have filed legal papers on a certain date, but after checking with the court I found that she filed them... MONTHS after claiming to have filed them. When we finally fired her, our new lawyer requested Ms. Dennis' files on our case. She did not return our lawyers calls or respond to written correspondence. Since we don't have the file, I'm not even sure that the other things she claimed to have done for us were even accomplished. We're starting all over again. We have since discovered from speaking with a few other lawyers, that Ms. Dennis has a reputation for this kind of behavior. I wish we had done more research on her before we'd hired her.

I'm a totally disabled veteran and take prescription narcotics (morphine and percocets) so I relied heavily on this attorney to help me make good decisions in my divorce case. It's been a year and a half now since i've seen any of my 3 daughters and if I go to the state they live in to see them, i'll... most certainly go to jail. Instead of standing up to my ex-wife's attorney, she convinced me that their offer was the best that I was going to get and it ended up requiring me to pay more per month than I was making. Everything was based on what I had made in salary in the past before I had become disabled to the point that I could no longer work. Now she wants me to pay her an additional 10k! I could have gotten myself screwed this bad without her services for free!

I just recently used Mrs. Dennis in my family law case. She was always friendly. However, she took forever (months) to even file a motion for a hearing then the court clerk said she filed it wrong (after I called courts). She had me hire a private investigator and give her tons of documents to suppor...t my case. However, when we got to court she did not speak up at all to the judge and let the other attorney do all the talking. She convinced me to settle for one weekend per month and said that is probably the best I could get even though the other party was charged with numerous drug offenses. I was very displeased with her representation and am now trying to use this site to find a more competent attorney who will fight in court for what is right for the child.
