I found myself in need of a lawyer do to a false allegation I had on the job. Dennis is very thorough and he handles himself very well inside the court room. His consistent communication during the case is reassuring. I would recommend him to anyone law enforcement or not.
I was involved in a Officer Involved Shooting in the early morning hours. Dennis answered his cell phone in the middle of the night and showed up to the location I was taken. It gave great piece of mind to have an attorney that answers the phone in the middle of the night and willing to "show up" when needed. The communication afterword's during the investigation was spot on and it was reassuring to even receive a phone call a few times during the course of the investigation to just see how I was doing. I would highly recommend Dennis to others and already have.

He and his family love the outdoors and the many recreational opportunities available in Eastern Idaho.
