This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Did nothing but mess up my custody case

He did nothing in court. I gave him so much evidence and he brought nothing up. He made such a Royal mess of my custody case and allowed my abusive ex husband to get primary custody. He did not even know a thing about my case going into trial it was all out on his paralegal. He inflated charges like ...crazy while doing no work. I am still working through modifying my custody and dealing with constant verbal abuse, harassment, and stalking at the hands of my ex husband. This is the worst attorney I have ever met. Do not hire.

Unprofessional Attorney in his Firm

I went to this firm because of there High AVVO rating. And recomendation. That was a huge mistake. I was did not receive what I thought would be an experienced Attorney. What I received was a RUDE, UNORGANIZED, SLOPPY, UNPREPARED ATTORNEY. They seemed to be to busy to handle my case even after I gave... them all the documentation. Most Attorneys go over what plans need to be made before the case or at talk to you to see if anything has changed. Not this BAD APPLE on many occasions she was hostile. I assume the last email she didn't care that she didn't do her job. I will be reporting her to the Nevada Bar Association. Negative for stars it would be -10 stars

The most amazing family and team every!

I am beyond grateful for Dennis & his son Ben as well as laomi & Leah!! They are the most amazing team together. I went thru an extremely nasty divorce and wanted nothing more than for the judge to see how unfit the father was. Dennis and Ben did everything and more to ensure my son would be safe and... happy/healthy. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone for the rest of eternity! If you want an attorney who truly and genuinely cares about you and your family then you’re in the right spot! I cannot thank them all enough. Best attorneys around hands down!!!! Every penny spent was so worth it. I wish I could put into words exactly how amazing they are. I had millions of questions and they never once hesitated to take the time out to answer them for me and even just listen to me with all my worries and concerns. Dennis and his team are truly one of a kind. If I ever need any legal help ever again in life I won’t go anywhere else. Dennis is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!

Consult

I went for a consultation seeking legal advice on potentially filing for divorce. I was not sure what to expect because I have never been through this process before. I felt as though Dennis really cared about what I had to say and really took the time to listen to me. The staff was also very pleasan...t

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2021.

Reprimanded issued in NV, 2021

updated on 10/13/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
