Formerly an attorney for 23 years with the New Jersey Casino Control Commission – most recently as its General Counsel – Dennis possesses a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of gaming law, particularly in the casino regulatory arena. His familiarity with the policies, procedures and personnel of both the Commission and the Division of Gaming Enforcement, the two agencies charged with oversight of the casino industry in New Jersey, are a great asset to the firm's already well known and highly respected Gaming Practice.

Dennis's diverse duties with the Commission also provided him with extensive experience in conducting business with other New Jersey state agencies, particularly the Office of Administrative Law, the Department of Treasury and the Office of the Governor. He also served on an advisory panel of state agency representatives regarding the responses to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Prior to his employment with the Commission, Dennis was associated with a Trenton, New Jersey law firm, and served as a staff attorney in the Administrative Office of the Courts. He began his legal career with a judicial clerkship with the late William G. Bischoff, Judge of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, during the 1976 – 1977 court term.
