About

What I do: Providing legal advocacy to families involved with legal issues in areas of child custody, support, divorce, child welfare investigations and removal, immigration, criminal, landlord/tenant, and wills and probate.Why: In 2011, after working several years with homeless families, I realized I could assist my clients better from a legal perspective. I decided to attend law school. Despite having to quit my full-time social work career, while caring for my five children, in 2015 I graduated from Temple University Beasley School of Law. I focused on family law, child welfare law, criminal defense, and immigration because these are the needs of the communities I wish to serve. Providing legal services to the under-served and least economically and socially empowered will help avoid the issues that lead to homelessness in the first place. I am particularly passionate about providing holistic representation to criminal defendants and parents facing the child welfare system. Keeping families together, whether by keeping the parent out of jail or the kids out of foster care, serves the best interest of the children and the communities they live in. I wish to use my social work experience along with my newly acquired legal skills to provide legal representation along with assistance in other aspects of the clients life that will provide real and positive outcomes for the individual and their families.

Denise (Luz) Negron-Bennett made all the difference to me in the way she handled my divorce case. She answered every question I had along the way, and took the initiative to research relevant case law to put my mind at ease more times than I like to remember. I hired Denise for what should have been a much simpler divorce process, since my husband and I had no children together and the asset division seemed pretty straightforward. Yet when my husband made things difficult, Denise did everything to both counter his -- and his lawyer's -- games, and to protect me proactively re: assets, property access and distribution, anticipating court actions, and strategizing for my case. A warm and caring person by nature, Denise showed great compassion to me during what turned out to be a much more complex legal process than I had expected. She asked the right questions and knew when to stand her ground — even with me when I could not, at times, accept the reality of my own case or the ambiguity of some aspects of PA divorce law. Denise was beyond fair with her hourly pricing, and her office's physical location directly across from the courthouse in Norristown made filing and court appearances a much less costly process for me. As an advocate, Denise was there for me and I can honestly say that I would not have been able to go through the unexpected complications of my case without her.

I have nothing but good things to say about Luz. She was incredibly knowledgeable about child custody and was able to help guide me through the court process. She defended me extremely against a slanderous lawyer. She fought until the end to get me the best outcome possible in my situation. I would highly recommend her services. I will be using her in the future should something arise.
