Terrible experience. Stay away from this attorney

Ms. Reynolds does not like to represent certain clients, which is her prerogative; however, she basically robbed us of the $400 consultation fee. She requested documentation several weeks before but gave us the excuse that her assistant failed to print them out. She was completely unprepared! If ...she was prepared she could have spared us the $400 fee, by being honest and upfront beforehand. She was so disrespectful and shaming. We would have went elsewhere. I’m disgusted. Please go elsewhere unless you want to be judged, shamed and out of money. I agree with every other negative post. No response necessary Ms. Reynolds. Please spare me any more insult.

After spending $$$$, basically I get nothing in court.

Hello, After hiring Ms. Dana as my divorce lawyer, I found she is very expensive, any container money can be exhausted in a very quick way, while she just made a very little progress and research. The case is very common and simple, my current girlfriend, for example, She just spent 1/5 lawyer f...ee to get a much better result than me. we compared to each other, a lot of things are free for her case (for example, free consultation, free answer quick questions in phone ect. total devoice fee is straightforward) I suggest that if you really want to hire her, you need to ask her how much you will totally charge before making decision. While in my case, she doesn't answer this question, it result in a bad experience. Hope you have a better experience! Thank you

Not a great experience

I only had my consultation but basically she spoke as if she was representing the other party. Completely made me feel helpless and alone. I wasted 400$ that could have gone to my child. I had to inform her of some DE laws. Don’t waste your money.

Dear Jen, I am so sorry that you felt this way during or otherwise after a one hour consultation. I do wish you had addressed your concerns with me directly during the consultation or soon after it so I could have had an opportunity to address it directly with you in a timely and non-public manner. I know it is very hard to hear legal advice, especially when it is not in your favor, and I always try to make people feel at ease, respected, and feel that they have been heard and are receiving proper legal advice regarding their rights, responsibilities, and the way the Court might see a dispute under existing law. I am not quite sure what you mean by having to inform me of "some DE laws", but sometimes an attorney cannot properly advise a client during a one hour consultation about law outside of his/her practice area or which would need further research. Please understand that legal advice is rendered during a consultation based only on the facts discussed during that consultation. I wish you the best of luck, success and health in your future and hope you can find an attorney that is a better fit for you.

Probably good(?) if you want a simple prenuptial agreement.

I sought Dana Reynolds' counsel, in July of 2014, for assistance of preparation of a prenuptial agreement prior to my marriage to my now wife. I will, to be fair, state that there was not a lot of time between the consultation and the wedding, though, since it was a courthouse wedding it was stated t...hat we could postpone it in order to allow for proper preparation of a prenuptial agreement (which my wife and I did). My wife and I had done quite a bit of work outlining the provision of our prenuptial agreement before we each sought counsel and consulted our own individual attorneys (I myself am an IP attorney, and my wife, then fiancee, made great efforts to read up on applicable statutes, pitfalls, and so on surrounding prenuptial agreements). What I was asking for was for a family law attorney familiar with divorce proceedings to read over our work, provide counsel, and raise any flags or correct our wrongs in our agreement. What I was offered instead was a different agreement, one that rather than striving to eliminate tracing issues in the event of a future divorce was overly simplified and more of a boiler plate agreement that can be characterized as "what is his is his, what is hers is hers, they shall be separate financially". Ms. Reynolds also waffled on further representation, initially stating that she would represent me and prepare / shoot holes in my drafted agreement and then changing her mind and informing me via email a few days to the contrary. All in all a rather disappointing result from my $$$ consultation fee. As to why I'm writing this review 3 years later... I'm happily married and closing in on my 3rd anniversary, but friends of mine in the Wilmington area are soon to be married and embarking on their own prenuptial path. I have advised that they each seek independent counsel and I figured I would share my experience with this law office. (I now live in MA, but my the fiancee and I were living in Wilmington, DE at the time, and were married at the courthouse in downtown Wilmington.)
