Exceptional Lawyer

I met Ms. Dentinger early on in my process of trying to decide if I was going to proceed with a divorce. From the outset, she was forthright and I felt confident in her advice. She listened to my desired outcomes in the process and kept that as our focus throughout the divorce proceedings. She is a...n excellent ally, tells you "how it is", and keeps things realistic. She was compassionate to me but was directive and dogged when dealing with the other attorney. Although divorce is a stressful process, Ms. Dentinger is phenomenal at what she does and I feel that my decision to have her represent me made my divorce proceedings as smooth as they could be. I would highly recommend her!

Review of Tammy Dentinger

Tammy represented me in my divorce case , and specifically on a modification of alimony payments due to a change in circumstance. She was thoroughly professional, very accommodating to my input, gave great advise which eventually led to a very satisfactory outcome in my case. I would highly recommend... Tammy as your divorce lawyer.

Excellent representation

Tammy is a very knowledgeable attorney that really understands the process. I really appreciated how she handled my case and the aggressiveness of the opposing side. I worked very well with her. I really appreciated how Tammy would lay out the options and didn't always have to fight w/ the opposing ...side for the sake of fighting. However, when a issue or problem occurred that required a strong stance, she went to bat. Divorce is a very stressful event. Looking back I really valued her openness to share the pros and cons of various issues/proposals, and her ability to change tactics based on her knowledge of opposing attorneys. The opposing attorney in my case was known for being rather aggressive and argumentative. At the onset of our legal relationship, Tammy predicted what he would likely do and how we would respond, or even not respond. I am very pleased w/ the representation I received from Tammy and her staff. Tammy and her team always responded quickly to my calls/emails and was always available to answer questions. I would strongly recommend Tammy.

More than I expected

I asked Tammy to work on a modification for my complex divorce decree. She accomplished more than I expected in a short amount of time. Her negotiation allowed the modification to be completed without going to court which saved a lot of money for both sides. Her charges were very fair.

Terrific

We retained Tammy for a difficult situation. Tammy was effective in defending our continued involvement in our granddaughter’s life. We were able to come to a compromise with her father. Without Tammy we would not been able to come to this agreement. She was realistic in expectations and answ...ered questions in a timely matter. We would recommend Tammy to any of our family or friends.

"Ms. Dentinger and I have worked together and as opposing attorney for well over a decade. I have found her to be an aggressive advocate for her client while at the same time able to work cooperatively to reach a result that ultimately is in the best interest of both litigants. I consider her to be a "top attorney" in the field."
