Posted by anonymous | May 18, 2014 | Ethics & Professional Responsibility

Denise is very responsive

I have used Denise periodically for ethics questions and information since I started my own solo practice. She is diligent, very quick to respond to my questions and very thorough. I highly recommend her.

Posted by Teresa | December 04, 2013 | Criminal Defense

Aggressively argues in pursuit of accountability, citizen participation and self-respect.

Denise provided me pro bono offense before I was aware I needed to be active in my own defense. Her arguments are tireless and with the utmost focus on personal advocacy she may just cause you to argue her case. Thank you.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Denise has been a Godsend for me and my lawyer discipline practice. She is a former Staff Bar Counsel, has a wonderful grasp of Arizona's procedural rules, and her written work is without equal. I have gotten to the point where I will not accept a disciplinary matter unless Denise can associate with me. I couldn't recommend her more highly."

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.

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.
