Hired Law firm 2023Discussed with Mr Denton what I wanted to accomplish. He disregarded everything I told him. Then was unreachable and everything went through his paralegal. Not sure what the people who referred me to him was thinking! He makes Joe Biden look sharp! Worst experience ever. Stay away or you’ll regret it!

Hired Law firm 2019-2022I hired Attorney Denton based upon so many positive reviews from family and friends. I needed an attorney to draft a complex will and also to prepare documents to cover my health care proxy (with very specific wishes) and power of attorney. Attorney Denton took the time to understand what I was trying to accomplish and worked with me to craft proper wording specific to my situation. He also met with my daughter and was so patient in explaining responsibilities, legal pitfalls, etc. I can see why he is in such demand locally. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly he provided the documents and his staff was always responsive to any question or need that I had. His price was also very competitive compared to other quotes for similar work. I will not use any other attorney for my personal or business legal needs.

Hired Law firm 2022I wish I could give less than 0.5 stars. Sent them a purchase and sale agreement along with additional disclosures from a home seller. Keep in mind this seller was underwater and needed someone to take over her payments so she didn’t miss one and have her credit damaged or have to do a shortsale. Christopher tells me I can send in the agreement after I explained everything to him over the phone and I do. Called the office ever day for two weeks and everyone told me he would call me back. Never did. Then sends me a letter denying service and saying essentially that the seller doesn’t know what they’re getting into. Two weeks wasted seller is days away from missing a payment and I’m going to have to do a magic trick to keep them afloat. It’s unbelievable the lack of professionalism displayed here. Didn’t even give me a call just a four line letter. Never use them they have no integrity whatsoever.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
