Mr. Denton resolved a contract dispute I had with county government. They behaved badly. Mr. Denton made phone calls on my behalf and within 2 hours the disagreement was resolved in my favor. He did not charge for this service.

He handled my conveyance perfectly. I also spoke to him about gas leasing and was impressed with his experience. He is the most referred lawyer in our gas lease forum.

Hired Attorney Christopher Denton

Went to him because I was referred. Told him my issues and he said he would review the documents and get back to me……he never did. Hid behind paralegal. No calls to discuss. Then he tells me” did you read the contract”? Oh, I need to get another attorney to review the contract. Awful experience! Stay away! I’ve dealt with attorneys but none were worse than Christopher Denton! One word! Stay away! If you don’t don’t then just wait for the “I told you do”!

Hired Attorney Christopher Denton

Worst experience I’ve ever had with an attorney. I buy homes nationwide in this case a seller in Elmira was upside down on the mortgage and close to missing a payment. Because they were upside down they could either do a short sale or have someone else take over the payments. She decided she would rather I buy the home and take over her payments and then lease it so that I could make monthly cash flow and have her mortgage covered. She understands if crap hits the fan we can always do a shortsale. All of this I explained to Denton and he took the case and asked to send him the paperwork. I called everyday for 2 weeks leaving messages with his paralegals but never got a call back. Finally he responds not with a call but a letter saying he denies the closing and essentially that the seller doesn’t know what they are getting into. Now the seller is days from missing a payment, as Chris wasted 2 weeks of time in which we could’ve closed. Seller is stressed I’m stressed and options limited

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
