Posted by Margaret | May 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Honest, informative, great to work with

Denise helped me solve some estate planning issues (leaving a few small bequests and making sure everything else will go to my daughters) after my divorce. She is an attentive listener, very responsive to email questions outside of our meetings, and a practical problem-solver. Her questions made me t...hink more deeply about how I want to handle my estate, even though it is relatively small. I can recommend Denise wholeheartedly--she is a delight to work with. I just wish I'd found her before my divorce proceedings were underway! I would have saved money and had a smoother divorce experience.

Highly recommended

Denise Dodson has handled several matters for my family over the years. She is sharp, efficient, professional AND compassionate. Her knowledge of estate law coupled with creative solutions has provided us with more confidence about our planning than I ever thought possible.

Denise was very attentive and reassuring. She was responsive and it was clear she knew how to get things done on time.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
