Facing the court system in America can be a daunting task for anyone, especially those who are innocent of crimes that they have nevertheless been accused of... Mr. Joseph Galera, Esq., is the lawyer recommended by the law office to handle my case, and within a few hours of taking him on as my attorney, I already felt I had made the right choice... Mr. Galera is more than worth the cost of his services. I simply could not recommend anyone use any other defense attorney, if they have to deal with the court systems in the Denver-Aurora metro.

Our case was one of the worst for the record books... They treated my family as their own and won massively for us in court! They were fair and compassionate with my son's best interest in mind. Over the course of our case we had several (top, so they said) lawyers but only Dunsing & Deakins brought us the WIN! They successfuly represented us in appeals court and worked great with the UCCJEA laws for over the state jouristriction. You don't need to look anywhere else because this firm will work intelligently and tiredlessly for you and your family! They are more then just lawyers, they became advocates and friends. A+++
