Douglas Welmaker, Employment and labor Attorney on Aug 3, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have known Dennis for a number of years, and have been on the opposite side of the docket with him on several cases. Dennis is always going to have the law down cold, and does a great job of staying abreast of current developments. Probably the most important thing about Dennis, however, is the fact that he is a man of his word. If Dennis made a representation to me, I knew he would stand behind it. If I owned a business and needed employment counsel, Dennis would be among the first attorneys I would call.
Taft Foley, Employment and labor Attorney on Aug 3, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Clifford is knowledgeable, hardworking, trustworthy and fair. It is always a pleasure working with him.
