Great Lawyer

Great lawyer, he took my case after I got screwed over by another lawyer. I went to jail in Bell County behind the other lawyer, I called Dennis, he jumped right it, got me a bond, and I was at home the next morning, it only took him 2 months to resolve my case, best lawyer I personally ever had!

My saving grace!

I was embroiled in an awful divorce with a narcissist sociopath and things were not looking good. The attorney I had hired and given a $10,000 retainer to, had failed to attend hearings, ignored motions and basically stole my money and landed me in hot water with his neglect of my case, placing the j...udge against me. By a stroke of luck, the unconscionable attorney chose to not show up for my mediation and instead 3 hours before my mediation, asked Dennis Hunsberger to fill in for him. Dennis Hunsberger, being the upstanding person and caring attorney that he is, rushed to my mediation not knowing me or anything about my case. He represented me in that mediation as if he had been my attorney all along and knew my case, when all he had was my name and that it was a divorce mediation ordered by the court. I was not only extremely grateful that Dennis Hunsberger helped me that day, but I was very impressed with his ability to step in and take charge. It was clear to me that Dennis Hunsberger was the one I needed to fight for me in my divorce battle. This man is not only a highly skilled attorney who I felt extremely confident would represent me and win for me, but he is also very kind, compassionate, he really listens and comforted me. He is in a word...Amazing!!! After a 22 year marriage imploding and having my husband willfully causing me duress, I was a mess, and Dennis Hunsberger helped me feel not so frightened and overwhelmed. He was on top of things from the moment he walked into that mediation and he held my hand so to speak throughout a long divorce and a jury trial. Dennis was available at any time to answer my questions, always returned my calls within a couple hours day or night, and he was gracious with the fees he charged me. We went in to a divorce trial with the judge favoring my ex husband's attorney and being against me because of the other attorney, and Dennis Hunsberger still was able to make it so I got to keep my home and the majority of my assets, and win in court for me. I cannot thank him enough. This attorney is one of the best human beings I have ever met and I am so very grateful to him for taking the reins and handling my case. You will be in excellent hands and can relax when hiring this amazingly wonderful, intelligent, compassionate and highly skilled attorney. I owe everything I have to him.

Excellent work in your time of need

After an attorney made my case go from difficult to win, to next to impossible by missing hearings and not returning any of my calls, Dennis Hunsberger got things back on track AND battled long and hard so I had a fair outcome. Dennis Hunsberger was kind in a time of need, very professional, worked... hard as if he was the defending his own family, was easy to get in contact with, spent countless hours on my case, and passed all expectations with flying colors. I had never felt like a lawyer could care as much as Hunsberger did. He did everything in his power to win my case, and did an exceptional job keeping me calm and reassuring me along the way. Wrapped up in a divorce case with assets I cared about and parent that was wrongly having things taken away from her, I thought the outcome was anything but good... But Hunsberger did an amazing job defending my things, my land, and my mom, and gave us both not only a fighting chance but a outcome better than we could have anticipated. After talking with many lawyers, it was clear Dennis Hunsberger was the one to hire. But after watching him fight long and hard for the things I love in court, I couldn't imagine hiring anyone else to defend me in court. I highly recommend Dennis Hunsberger for your case, whatever it may be. He has a high skill set in many areas of law, works hard, and gets the job done. He is caring in those hard times, and fights hard for whatever you need in the case, and is easy to get in contact with, which is so important but many lawyers fail to provide. So whether you're about to enter a court battle, or need someone to sort through a mess that is already there, Dennis Hunsberger is the lawyer to hire. He was really there and did an amazing job in a time of desperate need. I cannot thank him enough.

Hire Dennis and relax - He takes control

I hired Dennis and my worrying stopped. He took care of everything. He explains everything I need to know in normal words that I am able to understand. I recommend hiring Dennis.
