Very pleased

Dena and the ladies in the office are amazing. I was referred to Dena by a friend. I think Dena knew my case was a little challenging from the start and was not afraid to jump right in. During the consultantation Dena gave her point of view and opinions. It was really nice to have someone who have ...someone who knew what they were talking about, since I did not have that same knowledge. I was extremely anxious after hiring Dena and her team to work on my cases. But the Bez Law Firm staff are so detailed and organized, I always knew what was going on every step of the way. As mentioned before, my case was/is extremely complex, there were so many different factors that came up and I really felt like my case was in great hands. Dena was a voice for me when I found it hard to speak up. The court system is so intimidating and Dena handles herself very well. Dena and her staff assisted me with my DVRO, child custody, visitation, mediation, and child support hearings. I can honestly say, I am extremely pleased with where my cases are now. There were definitely times when I was questioning certain things but Dena was so reassuring, I trusted all of her moves. Dena is super honest, she did her best to keep my fees down, and always explained the reasoning behind the steps we were taking. I would recommend Dena for anyone who needs representation in the family court system. She knows her stuff and presents herself in such a professional way. Again, kudos to Dena and all of her staff at Bez Law Firm.

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.

Committed Advocate

Dena Bez has been my attorney for the past 6 years. She has represented me in custodial, financial, and domestic violence cases on several occasions. These were complicated and highly contested cases. Her professionalism and commitment is evidenced not only in the way these cases were handled, but ho...w she walked me through each and every step. She is more than an attorney, she is an advocate for the welfare of my children and a trusted and beloved mentor and friend. To add -- I recommended Dena to a co-worker, and later this person shared that they wished they had her from the very beginning!

Conscientious and Thorough!

I have known Ms Maspero for approximately 13 years and she has been my attorney since 2009. She has always given my case the upmost conscientious and thorough attention to my case. She was patient, up front, direct and very honest with me. I have and will continue to recommend her.

Save your money

Should have not wasted my money on her, but it got to the point it was too late to hire another after she drug out my case. Overcharged for her time and her two paralegals. She filed motion after motion when it was not necessary. She kept telling me we need to do this to win, etc. Well we lost the ca...se. I wish I would have chosen another attorney or fired her in the beginning like I was told to do.

Replied last November 30, 2015

There is nothing that happens in this office on a client's case without his/her knowledge and approval. Any motion filed would have been discussed with and at the request of the client. We would also never discuss a family law case in terms of win or lose as we know that no one ever really "wins" or "loses" in family law matters, least of all the children, and we will certainly never guarantee a particular outcome as stated in our fee agreement. The best a client can hope for is a quick resolution on all issues with terms they can live with to move on with their lives as quickly as possible. Our goal is to help you get to that resolution as quickly and cost efficiently as possible. Sadly, it is true that at times our clients do not share that goal making his/her individual family case difficult, time consuming and costly.
