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.

You want Tammy Dentinger and the team from Garrett Hemann Robertson PC on your side

If you are looking for an Attorney for your divorce, you want Tammy Dentinger and the staff at GHR working for you. The years of experience and knowledge was supported and demonstrated by everyone. The professionalism, courteous service, attention to detail, time management, prompt and open communi...cation, handling of confidential documentation/Information either by telephone, email and written correspondences I describe as exemplary. Tammy provided the details and outcome of "Status Hearings" within hours of its conclusion either by telephone or email. I appreciate that Tammy and the staff at GHR put my best interest first. This was demonstrated every single time when Tammy stated "No action will be taken until you decide and approve" I'm relieved the divorce is complete and happy that I don't question or regret any portion of the services provided by Attorney Tammy Dentinger, her amazing Paralegal team and all others in billing and reception. Because of the satisfaction and quality of service I received I made an appointment for a legal service unrelated to divorce which is provided by the Law Firm of Garrett Hemann Robertson. I strongly recommend if you are looking for a Divorce Attorney, your first call should be to Tammy Dentinger.

She is the best *****

Tammy assisted me in my first divorce in 1995 and later in a prenuptial and then a recent divorce in 2015. She has been the most professional attorney I could hope for. She responded immediately to every detail I felt like I was a priority client throughout all dealings with her. I would use all of t...he above words to describe her and the law firm she is with, trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable and very professional. All paperwork was handled immediately and executed as she promised. It made the difficult process smooth and seamless. I would use her again and I have already recommended her to other potential clients.

Best Family Law Lawyer in Salem

There is nothing in the world more important than a persons children. Going from seeing your kids everyday to hearing the norm is one evening a week and every other weekend for a dad is the scariest thing I ever faced. Tammy Dentinger guided me through this process with exceptional expertise and ...confidence. Always being professional, realistic, and honest. Tammy always told me what I needed to hear, and not just what she knew I wanted to hear. Tammy's experience and understanding of the system sets her apart from any other family law lawyer in Salem, Oregon. In my opinion it is almost impossible for a man to get what's fair in regards to time with his children. Tammy helped me get the time I deserve for being a good dad, and that was a lot more time than the norm. If you've got an electrical problem I suggest you hire a professional electrician, rather than some handyman with a contractors license and pick up truck. If your faced with loosing your Children and 1/2 of everything you have ever worked for. You can hire a lawyer that handles all types of legal matters, or you can be smart and hire the best family law lawyer in town....Tammy Dentinger.

"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."
