Michael R. Dennis
“Although I’m originally from a small beach town in Southern California, I came north for law school, fell in love with the area, and never saw a reason to leave. My roots are now solidly set in the Central Valley. The great thing about working for Crabtree Schmidt is that our small size allows us to quickly adjust and handle all our clients’ needs, no matter what area of the law suddenly confronts them. It also allows us to develop personal relationships with our clients that make us want to go the extra mile for them. However, being small is really just an illusion because when we add the collective experience of all our attorneys together, we have over 100 years of legal experience to draw from to assist our clients.”
