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!

Ms. Dentinger is thorough, well-informed and impressively intelligent. She handled both the technical and interpersonal aspects of our family's case with impressive dexterity. Tammy was thoughtful, kind, fair and assertive. During more tumultuous moments, she was adept at keeping all of us c...alm, composed and focused. Her compassion for the children who suffer most from familial conflict was critically important to facilitating the best outcome for all of us. For some reason, Ms. Dentinger was able to respond impressively promptly to all of my questions, needs and worries. I was overwhelmed and impressed by how she would respond to my emails and phone calls in such a timely manner. She has a busy and successful practice (for good reason). When she would reply so quickly, there was the tacit message that our lives, our crisis was really important to her as well. It was tremendously reassuring whenever I interacted with Tammy, even when all news was not ideal. Unfortunately, I have had to work with many lawyers in recent years. I have worked with some superb and impressive professionals. Among all of them, Ms. Dentinger stands out in her capacity to be not just technically outstanding, but interpersonally and professionally unmatched. Everyone's children need to be buffered from experiencing the conflict among the adults in their lives. With her combination of skill and compassion, Tammy did an amazing job of helping our family move toward a more tenable situation that will help all of us on the journey of healing and actualization. Thank you, Tammy. You shall forever have my gratitude.

Tammy is excellent. I have recommended her to dozens of people. She is very knowledgeable and remembered every detail of my case. She is a tiger in court and I have never herd of a case she has lost in all the people I have met. She got me EVERYTHING I asked for. She protected my girls from dama...ge and got them supervised visits. When I couldn't handel the pressure she took over and took care of it. She is one of the BEST you can get and better than you can hope for.
