Bez Law Firm is the best!

I very highly recommend Bez Law Firm. Dena knows her stuff and works with all her staff like a well-oiled machine. It's great knowing that my children and I have a whole team of kind and knowledgeable people working together to help us make it through this trying time in our lives. I had a very high ...conflict case with lots of twists and turns. I am grateful we found Dena and her firm. Professional, effective, honest, hardworking, detailed, prompt and compassionate are only a few of the words that I have to describe them. You can't go wrong if you let Bez Law Firm take care of you.

Amazing Family Law Attorney

Dena was my family law attorney for about five years. Between her and Molly Sword, these two are the most efficient, effective, professional, and ethical attorneys out there. Dena is definitely an attorney you want on your side in a family law matter as she has a tremedous amount of family law knowle...dge and experience. She shows up to court on time, extremely prepared with the facts, and does very well on her feet. She is worth every penny spent. She truly cares about the children involved and gives advice based on what she believes is in their best interest. Her goal is to get the case settled in the most efficient way possible. If the case does get dragged out, it's not because of her. She will work dilligently with the other party to come to a resolution. I'm so thankful I had her represent me. Because of her, I believe I won't have to return to the courtroom. My ex and I now coparent very well and I have a meaningful relationship with my children.

Honest, Efficient, Practical, Ethical- Highly Recommend!

Dena has a straight-shooting, no-nonsense approach. So glad she was in my corner during my divorce. She is incredibly professional and clearly explains family law and the legal process. She suggests practical and reasonable solutions, instead of dragging the case out or "stirring the pot" with the... ex/ex's lawyer to inflate the legal bill. Her charges are reasonable, especially because she is a high quality lawyer. She is worth every penny and then some! I can't say enough about what a great lawyer she is. I highly recommend her to others whenever I have the chance.

Excellent, Straight-Forward, and Solution Oriented

Following a long-term marriage and a rather smooth 10 year post-divorce period of co-parenting, my ex-wife had a change of heart and decided to retain a "bull-dog" of a lawyer to make some some changes and try to re-enter her children's lives. Needless to say, this was very disrupting to my teenage ...sons and our family unit. It wasn't fair and I was being attacked, even though I wasn't the one at fault for my children wanting to have nothing to do with their Mother. I was angry, upset, and quiet honestly afraid of what might happen if the Court didn't fully understand the truth and what was really happening behind the scenes. I started looking around for a recommendation for a "good" family law attorney. By "good" I do not mean one that just stirs the pot to create more problems so they can make more money. Dena's name came up several times. Her reputation for fairness, reasonableness, and professionalism was untarnished. When I first met Dena, I was very upset and wanted "to set the record straight".....Dena listened to my story and in a very matter-of-fact manner explained the law to me and what needed to be done to protect my children. She immediately put me at ease, and went to work to find a solution - - Not to stir the pot and make more problems. She was very clear and concise with the planned approach. From the very beginning she had my children's best interest at heart and that really proved to win the day as we progressed through the conflict. I am happy to report that Dena's mannerism and professionalism quickly hushed the "bull-dog" and very quickly moved our matter towards resolution. Dena is an attorney you can trust. She might not always tell you what you want to hear, but she always works to find an amicable solution - especially where children are involved. Dena and her excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable staff kept me well informed of all court actions, motions, and correspondence with opposing counsel, and was always quick to return my calls or emails.
