Born in New York and educated in the East, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from Fordham College where he was selected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year before obtaining his law degree from Yale Law School in 1970. Dennis moved to Oregon in the early 70’s to launch his private practice. Over the next 30 years he has developed an outstanding reputation for standing up for the rights of individuals. He is licensed to practice law in California and Oregon and has been an effective advocate for hundreds of people living in Southern Oregon and Northern California.
Dennis was recently inducted as a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, one of the premier legal associations in America. Fellowship in the College is extended by invitation only and only after careful investigation, to those experienced trial lawyers who have mastered the art of advocacy and whose professional careers have been marked by the highest standards of ethical conduct, professionalism, civility and collegiality. Lawyers must have a minimum of fifteen years trial experience before they can be considered for Fellowship. Membership in the College cannot exceed one percent of the total lawyer population of any state or province. In 2009, Superlawyer Magazine named Dennis “Superlawyer” as chosen by attorney peers and independent research. Dennis has been awarded the highest possible Peer Review Rating in legal ability and ethical standards by Martindale-Hubbell.
