1 /5 Coco Janeiro: Looks like they’ve cleaned up the reviews because when I looked a couple of months ago there were many many bad reviews, and now majority seems 5 stars? Well, I’m not going to say anything that will have mine flagged so mine should stay up.
Anyway, my review on Dennis Law Firm is that they are by far the worst attorneys we’ve ever had in Charlotte county. My husband hired Dennis after a recommendation from another lawyer (we needed a family court lawyer this time) and wow we should’ve really looked into him before just handing over our money (which he required to even consider our case.)
This office is a complete joke.. they never once (literally NOT EVEN ONE TIME) reached out to my husband first, he had to call or email them first EVERY SINGLE TIME to ask for updates on his case. Our case took 9 months, so for 9 months Dennis or an assistant didn’t reach out to us unless we prompted the interaction. They always had an excuse that never seemed sincere (A LOT of vacations). That’s frustrating but not even the start of the issues. While waiting for our court hearings Dennis never even really cared to hear our case out, anytime my husband wanted to explain why he even needed a lawyer Dennis acted like he had no time. He didn’t even hear our case until the morning before court. How do you prepare for a hearing when you know nothing? I could have made a better case! Family court is different than criminal court, there’s a lot of unspoken regulations on how they handle situations but in our case the other parent abandoned the child for a year and they were not fighting back for custody, so it was pretty easy to represent my husband… And we still left the case feeling upset with the results (we didn’t get full legal custody, Dennis just agreed with everything the magistrate said - never tried to fight for us).
I would really look elsewhere for another family lawyer in Charlotte county. I would never ever do business with Wallace law firm again, and if any friends or family need a family lawyer I would have them steer clear of this one.
