Best lawyer in the world!!!!

I am going through probably one of the hardest times of my life... I have four kids and was completely lost when my husband abandoned us with nothing... I found Dawn through a site on social media as she was suggested by many as the best.. she has exceeded my expectations... she goes above and beyond... for her clients.. she is a fighter and genuinely cares and will do what it takes to help you in anyway that she can... I can't put into words how amazing she is but I can let everyone know on the internet and that I know so hopefully if they face the same struggles as me they hire the best!! thank you Dawn.. you have been our knight in shining armor!!!!!

Hire Dawn!

Dawn has represented myself and my children in a family law matter, for the past five years. The only thing that I wound change is getting her to start the process in the first place. I had a previous attorney and my case was just too complex for him. Dawn was able to take it on with no trouble. ... Dawn is compassionate towards her clients and she is smart in the court room! She is also honest with you. Basing her information on case law, as opposed to gut, she tells you when she believes something is not going to go your way and why. I appreciate that she does not just tell me what I want to hear and take my money. Instead of stopping there, Dawn has brainstormed and researched ways to resolve our situation, that I had never considered. Ideas that she was certain that she would win in the court room and she has. Dawn listens to her clients wants and needs, while adding her professional wisdom as well. Dawn does not just do what a client says to do, knowing that it will not work or that there are other solutions possible. Dawn discusses with you various ways in which to be successful in your case. What you want walking into her office the first time, may not look exactly the same the last time you walk out of the courtroom. You will, however, have a case that has been won and will have what you and your family both need and deserve. Dawn will be my attorney until my daughter turns 18. We appreciate everything that she has done for us.

Highly Recommend for Family Custody - Professional, Honest, Direct, and Responsive

Dawn currently represents me in a family custody case. She came highly recommended to me. I’m confident in Dawn’s legal approach and feel that she has my family’s best interest in mind. She is extremely professional, ethical, responsive, and honest. In helping her clients, she has the hard task of na...vigating difficult legal matters, which often requires her to be brutally honest. She is very quick to understand your circumstance and is forward thinking. She recommended tools to me that immediately helped our family. I felt she had foresight into my situation. I appreciate her direct approach and feel she is trustworthy, which makes me fully confident in her as my attorney.

Divorce case

I was recommended on by a friend. She was very cordial and detailed in collecting information necessary for our case. She did an outstanding job in court defending me as a husband in an extremely difficult divorce case. Her dedication and Devotion to her job is truly an asset to someone going through... a difficult time. I am really grateful for the help that dawn has provided ending in a good outcome. When you're going through extremely difficult time you want someone that will do a great job representing you, Dawn is that person.

Exceptional Same-Sex Divorce Attorney

An exceptional attorney in every regard. Dawn's integrity, honesty and her ability to UN-complicate the intricate legal proceedings and processes that are part of a divorce was of great comfort to me during THE MOST difficult time in my life. beyond her caliber as a legal representative, her billin...g was fair and exact ... and her staff was/is/continues-to-be beyond extraordinary. I cannot say enough good things about Dawn's representation of me and the clarity of her communications with me throughout my less-than-a-year-long divorce proceeding. EXCEPTIONAL attorney, period.

"For many years I have had the privilege of working on cases with Dawn. Without exception, she is prepared, thorough, and an excellent advocate for her client.
