Never again

Miserable experience with Denise. In my experience she was woefully unprepared for court. Looks like paralegal does what little work they actually do. As aggressive as a wall flower expect when it comes to billing. Pushed around by opposing counsel at every turn. Would have been better off as a p...ro se with chatgpt. Substation of counsel could not come fast enough. Wish I could leave one star.

Child Support

There is not enough words to express the work that Denise did for me and my family. She is amazing, she worked through my case in a blink of an eye. Denise is knowledgeable of her work, everything she explained to me before the hearing is exactly what happened. I highly recommend Denise as your attor...ney to anyone who is having trouble with child support or any other case . Denise will fight for you. Denise is there every step of the way.

Handles Business with Knowledge and Style

One of the first things that impressed me when I came to her was that she made me feel validated and heard. While I understand that "a lawyer is not a therapist"....wise words of my previous attorney. I do believe understanding my story and how I feel, what is important to me, aids my lawyer in figh...ting for what I want and being able to legally vocalize those things to paper. She nailed it. You took no bull and she fought me on days I didn't fight for myself. It paid off and I am appreciative of her hard work and expertise. Her front office staff is also very awesome. Great response time, availability and very personable.

Divorce and child support

Denise is my divorce attorney. She has taken care of me for 9 years. I have had trouble with my ex husband paying child support consistently and Denise is always successful getting it settled in court. Recently I was going through a difficult time with my ex husband and my kids. Denise had 5 days not...ice of a court date for a child support modification he filed without telling me. Denise worked quickly and through the weekend and was completely prepared for court. She is amazing! My ex husband did not win! He conceded his attempt to lower child support and is no longer harrassing me or my children. I am forever grateful to Denise for helping me throughout all my difficult divorce and child support issues
