Tenacious, honest, and professional attorney. Highly recommend!

Denise and her team represented me for about two years in a very long and complex child custody battle. She was forthright about her expectations, honest about what was realistic, and did not overpromise anything that she could not deliver on. From the get go, Denise and her team had a great strate...gy for the numerous court appearances they attended from child custody, child support, contempt trial, and a move away trial. The best part is we were successful and prevailed in all those cases. This has now allowed me to continue to have equal parenting time with my daughter, which is what I have always desired. I highly recommend Denise for any of your child custody/visitation needs because of her trustworthiness and professionalism. Most importantly, she cares for her clients beyond just doing her job.

Call Denise

Denise and team were there for me when I needed legal guidance through a difficult divorce and custody battle. Her team was fair and available. Denise provides a personal touch and keeps the very best on her staff. I highly recommend Denise L Dirks.

Great Attorney!

I would highly recommend Denise Dirks and her Law Firm. She is very knowledgable about family law. My experience with this law firm was great. If you want an attorney that cares about you and your relationship with your child, hire Denise because she cares!

The worst...

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
