I found Dennis to be a great local attorney.

I hired Dennis twice and both times he was at the top of his game. I like that he is from Tacoma and know his way around the court room. He is clear and precise Bd truly gives it to you with realness. I have worked woth him twice now and he has not disappointed. I would recommend him for anything at ...anytime and encourage you to reach out to Dennis for your legal needs.

Family

I went to Dennis in Feb of 2016 needed his work for a custody case. Dennis was fare about the amount and is a very personable person. What I like about him is that he's straight forward and was in it for the best interest of my daughter. He is pretty good about getting back to you at a reasonable tim...e as well which is another thing I liked about him. He also is a father so I think he understands the importance of making sure the child is safe and it's not just about winning. I would definitely recommend him.

5 Stars

Dennis assisted us in a criminal assault case where my young son was a victim. He is not only competent , but caring. His attention to detail and personal attention was GREATLY appreciated during this highly stressful time.

Excellence

I tagged Dennis to help with a DUI case for a family member. Thanks to his diligence and thorough research of the facts of the case, he obtained a result that exceeded all expectations.

Awesome Lawyer

I used Dennis is a Family Law court case and he was beyond amazing! Both him and his Paralegal always went above and beyond to explain what was needed by me and to make sure I understood everything. I never once doubted his judgement on anything and we worked together and hard to get me exactly what ...I wanted. I would recommend Dennis and Amber to anyone looking for a great family lawyer. And I will use him again in the futur if I need to.
