Dennis James Balsamo

Dennis was instrumental in helping my family settle an estate without a will. The case was further complicated by the fact we were out of state and I was thankful to have local legal counsel representing our interests. Dennis supported our position, offered valuable insight and maintained much needed... persistence to resolve our case.

My older sister and I turned to Dennis James Balsamo a SLO attorney because he specialized in Probate Law and was listed on an Internet Christian directory for attorneys. Since we lived in other areas of CA/WA, his representation of us was much to an extent by email and telephone. We retained his... firm in July 2014, and were able to close our litigation against a younger sibling (within 2 years); who willfully failed to comply with State of California Probate Law, and thought she could do it her way instead of the proper State of CA way. Thanks to Dennis, who provided valuable wisdom, honesty, showed a high interest in our problem, his ability to sort things out for us, his legal expertise, advice, and guidance, he was able to get the job done against her well seasoned Probate attorney. He helped stop her from plundering the Trust for her own selfish goals. Keeping us informed at all times, Dennis led us to a satisfactory conclusion in a timely manner. Dennis is trustworthy with high integrity and should we ever need an attorney again will look to him first! We highly recommend him to others.

I was desperate to find an attorney on my personal injury case as the statute of limitations was looming, and no one seemed to believe me when I told them I was injured when my own truck ran over me. With two weeks to go before the statute of limitations would expire I was referred by a friend to Den...nis. He met with me the same day, listened to my story and said he do some free research to see if there had been other incidents of Chrysler trucks suddenly shifting into gear and injuring people. Within a day or two he called me and said he had found another case similar to mine and the cause was a know defect in the shifter of certain Chrysler trucks...and mine was one of those. That same week he filed a lawsuit to protect me and immediately engaged in settlement negotiations. Ultimately he got me a million dollar + settlement. Throughout my ordeal he and his staff were there for me. Calls were promptly returned and he would not get upset if I popped in unannounced to ask a quick question. I can honestly say that without Dennis I would not have been compensated for my injuries and my family would still think I was crazy. He's my lawyer for life. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mr. Balsamo is one of the most ethical and competent lawyers I have ever met. He handled my probate case zealously and with great competence. After we won at trial where he did an awesome job the other side appealed but with Mr. Balsamo's help the case went all the way to the Ca Suprme Court where we... ultimately won. Without him we'd have lost...
