In 2006, the Northern Kentucky Law Review published his article Older, Wiser and More Dispensable: ADEA Options Available Under Smith v. Jackson: Desperate Times Call for Disparate Impact, analyzing and predicting the future of age discrimination litigation.
Dennison is a frequent lecturer on the topics of Elder Law, Medicaid Planning, Veterans Benefits and Estate Planning at long term care facilities and hospitals across the Tri-State.

If he looks familiar to you, it could be that you recognize him from WKRC-TV Local 12 where he worked 8 years as a television news journalist and sports anchor. In fact, it was while covering news stories for Channel 12 that he witnessed not only the callousness of elder abuse, but also the heartbreaking consequences that arise when dementia takes hold of a senior before the family can become equipped to deal with the long term care crisis. Ultimately, these experiences inspired Dennison to pursue his career in Elder Law.

She feels joining the Life Care Planning team in the Law Practice of Dennison Keller, LLC is a continuation of the philosophy that has been at the core of her last ten years at the Council on Aging; to promote and maintain independence for older adults as long as possible, and to assist them and their families in navigating the long-term care maze to find needed services. Instead of providing a single service, Life Care Planning allows the law firm to serve the client as a whole individual, addressing legal, health care and long-term care needs. The result is that the individual and family are able to maintain quality of life and peace of mind.
