BEST ATTORNEY I'VE EVER HAD! 10 STARS

Mr. Dennis doesn't miss a beat. I wish I could have hired him for everything. In a short time he made all the difference for me in a dirty divorce. I am still dealing with a disgruntled ex and as i go thru the work Mr. Dennis did several years ago, I looked for a page online where I could give him... the review he deserves! He knows what he is doing. He is well spoken and fights for you. He is supposed to be an attorney! It's hard to find one like him!

Professional , Dependable, This is who you want!!

I believe my custody case is an uphill battle. Being long distant from the county for court. O'Neil Dennis is making everything so easy. The filings are prompt & professional. He is going above and beyond my expectations as a first time client. Trust me if you need an attorney contact O'Neil first.

Highly Recommended

O'Neil Dennis is an outstanding professional. I engaged him to represent me in family court on the basis of his reputation for being prompt, thorough, prepared, experienced and candid. Mr. Dennis took my child custody case on short notice and worked late into the evenings with me in order to be prep...ared for my court date. He responded to my phone calls, answered all of my questions and made sure that I clearly understood what the outcomes may be. Most importantly, he made me feel comfortable in the court room. I would highly recommend O'Neil Dennis, and he will be my first phone call if I need representation again.

Lacks knowledge of family law/divorce, scary.

I consulted this lawyer for my FL case. I found my settlement said I had a long term marriage, would need to pay ex $4,000/mo. if she remarried, and a horribly large amount of alimony, not based on a dissomaster. I found myself about to retire on $2,000/mo., ex had stolen retirement, and business w...as falling. Mr. Dennis told me everything was set in stone and could not be changed!!! He said nothing could be done! I found a great atty, Mr. [redacted} (voted Chico's best) who is changing it and said it could be changed. I actually had a short term marriage, my ex was still not working, is a hairdresser and I've been her social security, standard is no alimony if ex remarries, etc. This guy is scary with lack of knowledge/assertiveness.

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.
