The best attorney we've had a chance to work with.

Denise is great, always makes time for our question. No question is to small, and you can expect a email or a call on any issue you may have. We asked her to contact a Labor Union on their continuing harassment. She handled it quickly.

Warm friendly sharpshooter

I am a psychotherapist, and was assigned Calkins by my insurance company to help with a case where a client's parent was harassingly subpoenaing me for irrelevant cases, for years. Calkins was friendly and professional on the phone, came to court with me, eased my and my client's day with her warm f...riendliness, and then walked into the courtroom and fixed the situation with the judge in about two minutes. She even charmed the plaintiff. My experience could not have been more pleasant or efficient. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Trustworthy, Professional Lawyer

I'm comfortable to recommend her to anyone who's looking for a good attorney team work relationship. She knew her trade, delicated, answered questions, and kept you informed. She would watch, protect and fight for your interests as an eagle watched her preys.

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.
