What Makes Dennis Law, P.C. Different?
Plain Talk
Why use "misrepresented" when the word "lied" better describes how someone cheated you in a business deal?
At Dennis Law, P.C., we believe in communicating with our clients in plain English. We work hard to ensure that we and they are on the same page, that they understand what is going on in matters directly impacting their businesses and lives - and that they know what we are doing about it. We don't see a need to create "mystique" about the law or legal concepts. We tell it like it is.
At Dennis Law, P.C., we want our clients to team up with us to advance and resolve their challenges. We want them to understand the language used in the documents they are signing, or used to describe the claims or defenses in lawsuits in which they may be involved. We want them to be comfortable with their transactions, claims or defenses.
Antiquated, overused or generally useless expression like “whereas," "heretofore," and "parties of the first part," belong in the dusty eras and law books of long ago.
Team Approach
At Dennis Law, P.C., you are an integral part of the team approach we take in practicing law. While we contribute education, training and experience to analyze and pursue your legal issues, you are the one who best knows what happened or who can lead us to whoever it is that does. You know the underlying and potentially crucial down-and-dirty facts in a business divorce case. You know what you said and what warranties you may have given in describing your products or services to a customer. You know what that general contractor told you about change orders for a construction project.
At Dennis Law, P.C. we believe in "homework." For you and for us. We use the initial overview / interview to develop a sense of what happened -- of what claims or causes of action or defenses you may have -- or which "divorce" provisions you might want to negotiate during the optimistic planning stages of a new deal. We routinely develop outlines for our clients listing "questions for clients," "documents and e-mails needed," and "potential witnesses." The follow-up input often generates additional ideas or theories, and is frequently summarized in a chronological way to aid in documenting the negotiations history for a transaction, or for use in depositions, trial and other aspects of litigation or arbitration.
