Being a business owner myself and working with Denise for nearly 6 years-I feel I have the authority and experience with her demeanor and professional knowledge to speak volumes about Denise and her practice. Denise is well-versed and passionate about serving her clients with the utmost service and integrity, yet is tenacious enough to ensure her clients continually experience growth in their businesses and are always evolving with the never ending changes in our government and laws. Denise is the perfect kind of leader...she leads through serving others and helping them to be the best that they can be!

Denise is a true professional. Denise's knowledge of the laws and how it pertained to my business is second to none. Her experience and knowledge make her a highly sought after attorney. I have been fortunate enough to have found and hired Denise last year and she continues to keep me updated with any changes pertaining to my cannibusiness. She's been phenomenal.

I've met with many attorneys for representation in my industry. The medical marijuana industry and none have been so involved and dedicated as Denise to this field with maintaining that level of professionalism you expect from your legal representation.

Denise Pollicella has been my attorney for over four years. When I needed her help she was always there to take care of any situation I had . Denise is very professional and fair. She has come to my rescue a few times and was greatly appreciated. I recommend Denise to all my family and friends because she has proven to me she will go above and beyond for her clients.

I gave her money after she assured me that certain laws were going to pass that directly affected my business. After almost a year of assurances, nothing has changed and she has not responded after multiple e-mails and voice mails. I would not recommend this attorney.

Denise saw us twice on consultations with respect to zoning and permits. After we actually decided to hire her, she completely disappeared and stopped returning calls and emails. I have sent her 5 emails, one simply asking if she is ok, none of which were replied to. I would not recommend her. She made claims in our first consultation that she went back on in the second as if she had amnesia.
