Prior to practicing law, I stood where few personal injury attorneys have ever stood. I was a victim. The ngeligence of someone else caused me to lose my father, whom I was very close to, in a fatal car accident.. I was extremely hurt, confused, possed with questions for which I needed answers. Having a gut feeling, I reached out to a childhood friend who was an attorney, Follwing my gut feeling was the best thing I've ever did. My worse fear was confirmed, the insurance company's offer was drastically below what my case was actually worth.. I thought to myself, if an insurance company tried this with me, there are countless others who the insurance company actually get away with undercompensating. Therefore, I founded The Dennis Law Firm, LLC, as a firm that advocates for victims who have been seriously injured or have lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence.. My core philosophy is simple: Provide each client with A-1 customer service, while getting them the compensation they so richly desere.
