Denise assisted us with a dispute we had with our HOA. She took the time to visit the property, understand the situation, advise us on the legal aspects and develop a strategy and arguments to use during the mediation process. The mediation was a daylong affair and Denise was on call throughout, reviewing and helping us revise the eventual settlement agreement. We felt that she was personally invested in us, and as aggrieved as we were by the actions of the HOA against us. This ultimately led to an actionable settlement agreement and avoidance of a lengthy and costly litigation process.
I was representing myself for a post judgement issue concerning child support arrears and child support modification. My ex was very difficult and I realized that I needed professional help. I am so glad that I was able to find Denise. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, responsive, and professional. She explained everything clearly and came up with effective strategies. Her rates are very reasonable and she gives results quick! She argued eloquently in court. My ex was not paying child support and was trying to reduce the existing child support. With Denise's help, I was able to collect full child support arrears. In addition, the child support amount more than doubled! I am beyond happy with her service. Highly recommended!
