    TESTIMONIALS

    “I recently had the opportunity to work with Dennis Althouse and his firm on a real estate transaction. The transaction was one that was very different from your typical transaction with difficult situations with the clients. When decisions needed to be made, Dennis was always available to take my calls and clearly and calmly walk through what needed to be discussed and make the right decisions for all parties involved. His clear thinking and timely decision making helped close the transaction to everyone’s satisfaction. I highly recommend Dennis Althouse and his firm.”

    “Our custom-built home in San Marino suffered serious water infusion due to construction defects. Dennis helped us negotiate with the builder’s insurance carrier. With his strong background in construction defect litigation, we felt assured that Dennis could seek the maximum compensation on behalf of the victimized home owners. It requires a lot of negotiation skills, interacting with the attorneys from different subcontractors and insurance carriers. Dennis also offers professional rapport from reliable experts providing meticulous evaluation of the damages and cost calculation. Dennis is respected among his peer legal professionals, which facilitates the negotiation and an expedited resolution to the benefits of the home owners. We could not have obtained a better result if not because of Dennis’ work.

Dennis possesses the skills and characteristics of an outstanding lawyer; he is bright, knowledgeable and very patient with his clients. What I appreciate the most about Dennis is that he really cares about his clients! I highly recommend Dennis to anyone who is looking for a real estate attorney.”
