Untrustworthy

I'd give no stars if i could. Avoid at all costs. He is rarely in the office, does not answer emails or phone calls, and doesn't do anything on time. He promised me something would be prepared and ready at a certain time, so i went into his office to pick it up. He did not know what i was refe...rring to when i asked for the document, after i told him what i was there for, he went to his office to quickly type something up, and handed it to me as if it was in his office the whole time. The support staff is the same as the attorney, they are never available by phone or email. I have made numerous phone calls and sent God only knows how many emails and haven't spoken to him since he accepted my last payment.

Horrible Attorney

Dennis is a Horrible Attorney. After taking my case and my money, he postponed my hearing four times just to tell me at the end to plead guilty. He had the audacity to tell my that i was stupid for committing a crime that later was dismissed. I hired a different attorney for the same fee that he ch...arged and was able to dismiss the case that Dennis said would not be possible. He never called me while he was supposedly working on my case, he would ignore my calls, and he never wanted me to go to court with him. The offer the D.A. gave me at the beginning of the case is what i would have received at the end if i had not found a different attorney . Do yourself a favor and stay away from this money hungry attorney. He charged me a large fee for doing absolutely nothing . Be careful, If he thinks he can pull a fast one on you he probably will. He's not responsive , and he never kept me informed.

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.
