This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thankful

I filed under Chapter 13 to save my home when I got behind on my payments due to a large drop in income. Dennis could not have been more helpful and supportive during this very difficult time. I am thankful to have been referred to him, and I will always be grateful to him for his expert handling of ...my case. He went far above and beyond the call of duty, and I will recommend him to others. Thank you, Dennis.

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
