Effortless, weak, could care less

As one of the previous reviews stated Dawn never at one time tried to defend my case. What she pretended to do was defend fake allegations without confronting a far more driven attorney. Her lack of organization and attention to detail horrendous. All she did was provide significant income to every o...ther attorney involved and our kids are the ones who lost out. Don’t be fooled by a recent 5 star review. I can promise you my experience is the same if not worse than the November 2021 post. Don’t be fooled Dawn says one thing to your face or on the phone, but fails tremendously when it comes to your lives and those of your children. I’m sure there are many more clients from post COVID that had the same experience. Find someone else and if you are currently using her then you’ve been warned twice, plus your own questioning.

Extremely satisfied

I don’t wish divorce upon anyone, but some of us end up in the situation. Dawn was given to me as a referral and from our first phone call I could tell she wasn’t just selling me some line of BS. She was honest with what she thought, even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear and followed through on wha...t she told me. Dawn showed compassion for what I was going through and dealt with my “how am I going to make it through this” moments. She would always assure me I would & I did. I couldn’t be more pleased with how she represented me in court and out of with the other lawyer. My divorce was anything but easy or simple. I would highly recommend her .

Make another choice, this one is weak.

During my divorce case this liar was unable to secure any of my demands, and left me in the lurch after the proceedings, regarding any questions I had. She puts on a good act, but she's not working for you. She's an officer of the court disguised as a caring and compassionate liar. Stay clear of this... one.

Would reccomend

I would absolutely recommend Dawn Hargraves as a divorce attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable and fair. She never missed a court date and was always prepared. It was nice to know that I had attorney who represented my best interests.
