As a Veteran, Dennis knows the impact of service and communication. The ability to communicate is a valued skill in advocating for others. A good advocate needs to communicate in a language that is understood. Dennis’ diverse background has given him the uncanny ability to communicate with anyone. This skill, combined with legal experience, allows Dennis to educate the Court, the Jury, and those needing representation about how the law applies to issues that are important to people. Legal issues involve people. Dennis’ devotion to serve and

communicate with people sets him apart.

When Dennis is not advocating for others, he enjoys spending time with his family,

woodworking, cooking, and watching baseball and hockey games. He is an avid fan of the

Chicago Cubs and Seattle Kraken.
