Thorough understanding of the law, down to earth, heart for her clients

After meeting with Denise only one time, I was confident in her. Her team at Teller & Associates are not only intelligent, well-read, knowledgeable of laws and the nuances of said laws, but they also care deeply about their cause. Denise was our lawyer, but she was also human, relatable-- a sure, rea...listic and calming presence in a difficult time. She is fantastic at her job, competent, methodical in her work and understanding the situation, and a sure, firm representative in interactions with the opposing counsel. I can't thank you enough, Denise!

Extremely knowledgeable with a heart

Working with Denise has made a terribly hard situation easy, or as easy as it could have been. I am so impressed with her knowledge of the law and her ability to work under the most stressful of situations. Working with many different people on both the defense and opposing sides to our parties did n...ot phase Denise and her countenance showed just how respectful she is. Not only is her knowledge of the law unparalleled, her ability to see me and others as people and not just another paycheck, was truly heartwarming and made me feel safe in her hands during an otherwise very difficult part of my life. I hope to never be in as bad of a situation as I had been when I initially called Denise, but if ever I am I know I will be calling her the first chance I get because she has my loyalty and trust forever due to the hard work and personal involvement she showed me. Being as this was my first experience in any sort of legal matter, it was only "easy" because of Denise's knowledgeable background in the law and her personal passion to uphold what is right. If you have a difficult case and need someone who is on your side in both the law and who can also demonstrate sincere understanding, call Denise. It will be the only call you need to make.

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.
