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 4, 2013
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.
