Very unprofessional

Had a consultation with Dennis Lempert which turned into an hour long lecture that had little to do with my case. This attorney was very demanding and made me feel pressured to hire him after he wasted valuable time I could have spent looking for a respectable and qualified attorney in the area. D...ennis even went so far as to trash other attorneys that I had mentioned I spoke to concerning my case. This felt very odd to me and was the first red flag. On top of it all, he was extremely condescending and judgemental about my case. Seems odd coming from a guy who defends child molesters as I later found out. His whole office and professionalism reminded me of one of those shabby lawyers that advertise on television or the radio (except way more expensive). When he finally got to his fee (twice as much as nearly everyone else I consulted) I believe he had totally forgotten what my case was concerning. He just threw in a bunch of legal jargon to try to confuse me. Nothing about this man seems honest. Dennis will eat up your time, give you no constructive feedback, all the while patronizing you and making you feel guilty for not hiring him after his hour long rant. It is clear that his age is catching up with him and after doing some research it doesn't seem like he obtains desirable results for any of his clients.

Take your money, and walk away.

I contacted Mr. Lempert to seek legal advice for a recent misdemeanor-level complaint I was facing in the Bay Area. I met with Dennis, and he assured me that he would take care of my case and "make it go away." After charging me $1500, Dennis not only neglected to follow through with the District... attorney and the police facility to check on the status as he assured me he would, but he totally forgot about my case. Every time I called Dennis, he was completely confused about a) who I was and b) the status of my case. It turns out that the case was dismissed around the time I first sought consultation, but the notice took a couple of weeks to reach me in the mail. The case was dismissed based on local policy to not charge people in minor alcohol-related offenses for their first offense. Dennis, an ostensible long-term practicing attorney who worked with the DA at some point totally neglected to tell me of this policy which someone of his standing ought to know. This means that that he took my money knowing that he would have to do no work for the case. In the end, I am $1500 short and Dennis is completely obstinate in granting me a refund.

Good Lawyer! Read More To Understand

This is an excellent attorney. He is well known in the court system here in Santa Clara County and is EXTREMELY knowledgeable in the law. If you knew what he did for me in my day of court you wouldn't question him. He did MAGIC for me and ever since that day I realized YOU NEED AN ATTORNEY IN CO...URT.

Unbelievable Wonderful Experience. The Experience We Always Hope For.

It is rare or may be impossible to find an attorney who is capable and knowledgeable with professional conduct, kind and sympathetic for the situation, and most of all delivers the results we hope for. My wife and I were blessed to find such attorney, DENNIS ALAN LEMPERT. In our case we had no room... that we can be misunderstood by law. In our opinion it was greater than "Life and Death" situation, where the belief and pride of being a good human was on trial. We visited two other attorneys prior to we visited Mr. Lempert. Mr. Lempert had enough patience to let us explain the situation and our worries. First he calms us down and assured us that he will help us and nothing wrong will happen to us. Further he showed us what law can damage us the most and the chances of losing the case which is slim to none. Mr. Lempert told us don't worry so much, go home and enjoy life, and let him do what he is good at (law). I further asked him that what the possibility to have the case can be dropped before it goes to court, since it means a lots to us and also it is total misunderstanding. Mr. Lempert said he will try and in a few weeks, prior to the first court date, the case was dropped. What more anyone can ask! It is impossible to imagine for other than my wife and me that how much it means to us. There is no word to express our gratitude to Mr. Lempert. Mr. Lampert is capable, knowledgeable attorney with professional conduct as well as kind with sympathetic approach. Unheard but true! In-the-event I need attorney in his line of law practice (God willing it will never happen) I will certainly seek his help. I would recommend him highly.
