Wrongful Death of My Dog

Mr. Tackett was not only successful in winning my case for the negligence and wrongful death of my Dog against the veterinarian, but was also a friend during my grief. That may sound cliche', but it is the truth. He really cares, and it shows. Thank you again Dennis, thank you for being there.

Very Pleased, Highly Recommended!

Mr. Tackett has handled many cases for me and my family over the years, and each time has delivered a winning and favorable outcome. He is very responsive, patient and a great listener and counselor with legal advice

Posted by Alison | October 13, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Thank you, Sir.

Even after moving out of state, Mr. Tackett kept me updated on my case. I only wanted to make sure the doctor's bills were paid but he wouldn't have it. I am extremely pleased and would recommend him to anyone!

I Wish I Came To Him First

I really do wish that I had done my research and gone to Mr.Tackett from the beginning. The first lawyer that I hired for my car accident was from a big name company in the area and a friend of mine who used to work for him recommended him so I thought what could go wrong. Practically everything from... not getting back with me for two months, to asking me to resend paperwork that I had already sent in, to telling me that he doesn't believe that I would be getting much out of this case almost a year later! Changing over to Mr.Tackett was a decision I made based off of the reviews on this site as well as his background info particularly the part related to him having worked on the side of the insurance company so he knew how they thought. If I had a question I think that the longest it took for him to get back with me was the days end but it was usually an immediate phone call or email. I also didn't feel as if I needed to constantly contact him as he kept me in the loop with my case every step of the way. I learned more about my case with him than I ever did with the previous lawyer. And I absolutely love how you get him directly and not a secretary that you hoped passed on the message to him. Since he doesn't take on more than a certain number of cases at a time he was able to make you feel like you were his only client. I wasn't just another case to him as he was very concerned about my injuries and hopes that I can get back to my profession some day. Regarding the case itself we settled for everything that we asked for! A far cry from the previous attorney saying that I wouldn't get much at all! He fought hard for us and we didn't even have to go to court. The last thing that I want to do is go through another car accident but if I did I know exactly who to call without hesitation and you better believe that I will be giving his info to anyone who might need his expertise. Seriously, if you are still looking for a lawyer or are thinking about changing the one that you have look no further than Mr.Tackett. You will not regret that decision!

I hired Attorney Tackett after I was involved in an accident. He is both personable and professional while caring about his clients' needs. I received a settlement without having to go to court, and I received it in an extremely timely manner. Dennis Tackett truly goes above and beyond for his client...s, and I would strongly recommend him !
