This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Huge disappointment

I had called and inquired about getting legal help. They booked a phone consultation for me on monday for thurs afternoon and even had me fill out a questionaire. Come Thursday, they canceled on me 45min before the appt, saying they weren't taking any more cases?? Really? They couldn't have turned me... down when I originally called? Smh

We're sorry that you weren't able to receive a free initial consultation with our firm. We get how disappointing it can be to have an appointment cancelled. We do our best to make every appointment that is booked, however sometimes existing cases with unexpected events happen. You were not cancelled for the reasons you have stated. Our staff contacted you at the earliest possible time on the date of your appointment to inform you that your appointment would need to be cancelled because the attorney was stuck in court longer than expected with an existing case and would not be available at your appointment time. Staff reached your voicemail and left you a message with this same information. We did not offer to reschedule your free consultation based on our review of your questionnaire responses and your written responses to the cancellation notice. Not every client is a right fit for our firm. Based on the energy you have invested in complaining that you were not able to receive your free initial consultation, I think the assessment was correct. Best wishes to you in your search for legal services.

The best possible lawyer you could find!

I can't say enough about the services offered by Denise! She handled my child custody case with all that one would expect: grace in dealing with opposing counsel and the court, aggression when it came time to meet deadlines and push for what I was asking for, experience when it came to tough question...s and recommendations, and the most respectful communication between me and my family. Denise utilized her expertise to push for the things I needed and knew exactly how to navigate the court. I attempted to file the paperwork on my own and I stepped in it big time as a result! However, Denise and her legal team knew exactly what to do to rectify my mistakes and constantly had my back up until the trial. At points, the court did not swing our way, but Denise talked me through the entire process, easing all my worry and anxiety and rationalized even the most difficult decisions so that we got the best possible outcome. Even during the trial, which was highly nerve racking, Denise coached me on how to navigate questions comfortably and with ease. I loved Denise and her team and couldn't thank them enough throughout the process. I highly HIGHLY recommend talking with Denise and her team from not knowing what to do from the outset to trusting her completely to handle your case the way you'd like it to be handled. Denise, you're such a phenomenal lawyer! My family and I thank you tremendously for walking us through this insanely difficult process! -The Turpins

Worth every penny, and more!

I will never forget how Denise fought for me through my custody case. She’s an absolute gem of an attorney. I don’t know any other way to say it. She was a total badass in the courtroom too! I was truly concerned about my ex’s ability to be extremely good at fabricating lies throughout our trial ...but Denise is a Jedi master at combating the opposing counsel. That professional liar never stood a chance with her at the helm. She took them down at every turn. I felt such a sense of relief after I saw her do her job with such poise & effortless professionalism. I was blown away. She’s that good. And it always hurts a little less spending $100’s of $1,000’s of dollars for a service, when you KNOW you’re getting top tier quality performance. Nobody ever wants to end up needing an attorney but if you do, you won’t be sorry you hired Denise. I’d put my money on her every time. She’s experienced, incredibly knowledgeable, caring & honest. It’s a testament to her character to hear someone say they will genuinely miss her after going through one of the most grueling hellish life experiences they’ve ever faced with her. She exceeded every expectation I had then some. I would highly recommend the Furubotten Law firm!
