Horrible! This guys wears a mask all the time and you can still smell his gum disease. Doesn’t respond to emails until it’s 2 am. Has immature comments to say to the other party and their lawyer without ever addressing your concerns. Family court is not his thing. Might be good at collecting dirt and speaking in renascence lingo but not a family lawyer at all. Had him as a hire and a court appointed I could not get rid of until I hired new. He is always late to court, never does a pre trial discussion. His office looks worse than my first college apartment! RUN from this “man” as fast as you can!

I payed Mr Laughlin quite a bit if money for representation!! Said representation was poor and inadequate several motions could face been asked of the court but Mr Laughlin just said no they don’t don that type of thing. The next client represented by different council. Asked and recieved. I had asked Mr Laughlin about representation in a seoerate matter week 2 to be exact He split obliged!!! And that’s where it’s ended he completely let me hanging had an excuse for not replying to my emails time after time I called the office they days let’s make an appt to meet. That was a month and a half ago Havent heard from Them Since very unprofessional not very upmto date om movements and procedures ect And he lied Right to Me. I’d not suggest this firm

Dennis handled a particularly difficult eviction for me that spanned the entire Covid timeline. He stayed abreast of the everchanging rules imposed by Albany and kept me informed regarding the options available at every step of the process. He provided sound, calming council in very tenuous situation.

Over the years, Dennis is the only person who handled my cases in family court, even when the outcome was unfavorable, it was not through lack of effort. I highly recommend Dennis

I contacted Dennis after having horrible representation at the beginning of my divorce. The first surprise was the immediate communication and dialogue Mr.. Laughlin instigated with me via emails, phone calls and texts. He is not just a brilliant lawyer, Dennis is a humanitarian who truely cares about his clients. He is also not one of those rude, embarrassing lawyers who use theatrics to mask their inequities. Highly respected by local judges and his collegues in the field for both his respectful, genuine manner and high intelligence, gives his clients an edge in difficult legal situations. He is also well worth whatever he asks for his fee, which will be a lot less than you expect. Dennis is a great guy, he's smart and he enjoys working tirelessly for others. Not only do we have a lifelong lawyer, in Dennis we have a lifelong friend.

Dennis went above and beyond his duties as a lawyer. He showed passion in my case. I couldn't be more grateful then having had Dennis on my case and win my case. He fought as hard as I would hope a lawyer really would. I don't have enough words to express how grateful and thankful I am for his services. I highly recommend Dennis. He is by far the greatest lawyer and my life would have been different if I would have not been able to find him. He really cared about my case and that is something you don't find everyday. He answered any questions I ever had, and I never once stumped him when I thought I would. He made me feel at ease when I was beyond stressed out. He just truly is an all around fantastic lawyer.

I hired Mr. Laughlin to assist me with an eviction where I am the landlord. He handled all the proper paperwork with the tenants and the court. He was able to very calmly negotiate a fair agreement with an irrational and irritate individual. He frequently checked in with me to make sure I was satisfied with the negotiations and court proceedings. It was obvious to me he is a very dedicated and compassionate attorney.

Dennis brings a superb set of skills and a thorough knowledge of the law to his work. He shows a genuine interest in his clients and provides compassionate and expert counsel. He was of enormous help to me in a very difficult time and I had every confidence in his ability to represent me

I hired Dennis due to issues that were occurring between my son's mother and I before my son was even born. I've hired him for a multitude of cases. I first hired him to bring my son's mother to court when she refused to acknowledge that I was my son's father. I then hired him for a custody agreement in 2010 that was an agreed upon situation at the time and it went very smoothly. In 2013 my son's mother and I separated and next began the onslaught of issues. I hired Dennis in 2014 the pursue full custody and not just every other week as it was with the first agreement. By 2015 I have custody of my son and he is no longer stuck in the subpar, and frequently dangerous, conditions at his mothers house. Dennis also represented me through two different cases of child support where the county brought me on behalf of my son's mother due to her public assistance. Dennis did a great job minimizing the damage the county attempted to do. The last case I hired Dennis for was to bring my son's mother to court for child support, which also ended very well and in my favor. Also, although I had not hired him, Dennis had also provided quality advice regarding and order of protection for my son as well. Qualities Abour Dennis The man works hard. Not "9-5" hard. Not "I'll give you the most bang for your buck" hard. Dennis works "I'll respond to all of your emails even if it's 3 a.m. and I spent all day in courts while traveling across three counties and my secretary quit so I'm by myself, but still going above and beyond anyway and I also have to be in court tomorrow at 7:30 a.m." hard. In terms of being able to get in contact with Dennis. He very diligently responds back to phone calls, has an answering service for when he can't pick up, responds to emails relentlessly, is willing to meet in person whenever possible, and never tries to screw you because you contacted him. I called Dennins once to ask a few questions without having him on retainer, asked him what I owed him, and if I recall correctly, stated "That's not necessary sir. If you really feel inclined to give away your money, pay for someone's tank of gas." Dennis also doesn't beat around the bush. If you are the type of person who can give him the facts, not exaggerations or embellishments, can understand what to reasonably expect in the situation you are in, and can accept what is reasonable and/or necessary in certain situations, Dennis will not let you down. He is honest and up front and keeps expectations realistic. If he doesn't have an answer for a question, he won't make something up to give you an answer. He'll tell you if he doesn't know and get back to you with an answer. If you are looking for an opinion to make yourself feel better, he will do the right thing and be honest and not mislead to get more money out of you. Speaking of money. Dennis was very good to me to allow me to make monthly payments and worked with me to set what that payment would be so that it would be reasonable for both parties. In terms of cost, Dennis is better priced than almost any attorney in the area. In terms of value, you get more from Dennis than paying someone else twice as much. I am almost at the maximum character limit so I will end with this. Dennis Laughling is not just an attorney, but a man of integrity who understands people's lives and families and seems to be a rare, almost extinct, breed of attorney is who that is doing this work for what is right and just and not to take advantage of people's misfortunes. Hire this man if you want someone who will fight for you at every turn, work unendingly for you, and actually care about you and your family. Thank you for everything you have done for my family and I Dennis.

Excellent lawyer and great person, was very timely in responding to any questions or concerns and was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Worked for best possible outcome and achieved it. Very fairly priced and would highly recommend to anyone in need.

A very good attorney, as well as a great person. Very good at what he does, and absolutely reasonable with his fees. More than happy with the results that he has produced for me. I would HIGHLY recommend Dennis Laughlin for all of your legal needs.

Immediately answered my question, very knowledgable and helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to comfort me with his kind words and information pertaining to my question(s). He kept it fairly simple, yet explained to me all that need to be explained so I fully understood my situation and what may come of it. He even accepted my email and talked further with me in private. I highly recommend this lawyer. Thanks again Mr. Laughlin!
