Dawn Elizabeth Padanyi

Dawn is by far the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her knowledge-base is seemingly endless and her ability to present material in front of a judge is noteworthy. Dawn is also incredibly kind and supportive. On numerous occasions Dawn offered emotional support that certainly went beyond the scope of attorney/client obligations. In addition, although my case was complex, Dawn handled the nuances with grace and expertise. She was fully prepared each time we appeared in court and she made a point to review all of the material with me prior to entering the courtroom. Although my case could have gone in many directions, under Dawn's expert care we were able to achieve positive results every single time. Finally, her office staff is equally kind, caring and competent. I looked forward to all of my office consultations with Dawn and always left feeling better about the situation. Dawn is that rare attorney who possesses brilliance, competence, kindness and empathy. I can't imagine retaining any other attorney and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking professional, legal guidance.

I had Dawn take on a case for me that was fraught with complications and ended up lasting longer than what I had hoped for. She was very good at separating the emotions from the facts and doing so in a way that ensured I was always making the right decision while acknowledging the things I was going through. She was punctual, trustworthy, and obviously brilliant. I would refer her to anyone.

Ms. Padanyi is a top notch lawyer. She is knowledgeable about a myriad of family law issues and advised me through some very difficult times. Perhaps of greater importance she is compassionate and creative. Coming up with ideas and solutions that I personally didn't even know were an option. It is with the utmost confidence I recommend Dawn Padanyi.

My husband & I met with Dawn Padanyi at her office to discuss our estate and acquisitions and acquire a Power of Attorney for ourselves. Dawn coached us in the most easy, direct and professional way possible making our experience very positive. She was exact in her delivery of the documents and the meeting up for more than one appointment went very smooth and timely! She also informed us as to the importance around our elderly Mother and the acquisition of a Power of Attorney for her, which we plan to secure also with Dawn! We also acquired an updated Will for our family and that she also handled in the most professional style. She is an expert in explaining the details around family inheritance in the event something unfortunate happens within the bounds of a family unit, always using the correct tone with this subject. Willing to spill into the inheritance subject with a second generation of off springs and their ability to secure what is in their right with a Will in place. Giving the client a feeling of closure is important at whatever age her client may experience a potential unfortunate occurrence! She encouraged us to purchase a security box that is waterproof and fire proof & even recommended the local store to buy one. Thank you Dawn for allowing this experience to be made pleasant and easy!
