Denise Lee Dirks

Shame on me for not doing my due diligence and reading reviews after getting a referral to this 'law' office as the experience was on par with all the 1-star reviews. I brought my 83 y/o mom to get help with a divorce and not only did the case drag on and on, but Mrs Dirks double billed on several... occasions due to her own negligence in keeping track of information. She would ask for the same things over and over and bill us every time! In addition, when I brought issues to her attention she repeatedly blamed her team as an excuse to us although I'm convinced she is the incompetent one. Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for le

She is very argumentative with her clients. She overcharges for everything and she would not apply a discount rate towards my whole case per my employer discount rate. It later turned out she gyped me out of several hundred dollars and wouldnt apologize for the mistake, however she tried telling me... to find another lawayer AFTER I already fired her by subbing out. It took several months to complete the sub; her staff are disorganized as well. Communication between the opposing counsel and Denise was going on and she didnt even notify me about it until I questioned it after seeing it on my invoice. Even though you pay for her, she will frequently put sub par associate attorneys on your case without your consent and the associate attorney got nervous in court. SHe laid an egg right in from of the judge and would not speak up in court regarding important things she said she would say in our conferences. I would not recommend. All this info is factual, please ask to see evidence.
