Denise was my divorce attorney. She was excellent on all levels. She put me at ease with her knowledge and professionalism in court. I couldn't have asked for more. Denise also has an excellent staff and they were always available to answer my many questions. Excellent firm!!!

Unresponsive and Uncariing

I was recently a client of Denise's. She was unresponsive to phone calls and email, often taking weeks to reply. She was not aggressive as she claimed she would be and allowed my case to drag on for almost a year when it should have been done in less than a month. During the time she dragged out m...y case she continued to bill me for unnecessary work resulting in a bill 4 times larger than she said it should cost. When I brought this up to her and her staff she threatened me to submit a change of attorney if I didn't like the way she did things. Of course this was in the middle of the case and would have left me hanging and I would lose the money I had already paid her. In the end, she did not accomplish any of the things we discussed at the time I hired her.
