Dale is the best!

Dale has been handling disputes with my ex for several years now & I couldn't be happier. I had gone to at least three other attorneys before finding her & wish I had known about her when I first got divorced. I was able to get the child support that I was entitled to & a consent order that no longer... has loopholes through which my ex could manipulate things in his favor. She and her staff are very responsive. Dale gives great, realistic advice. She is great in the courtroom, smart & quick on her feet. Her charges are reasonable, I have never felt like I was being overcharged, unlike some other lawyers I have had. I would highly recommend Dale and her firm to anyone going through a divorce or custody dispute.

Endorse Dale
Lawrence Edward Luck headshot
Lawrence Luck

Divorce and separation lawyer | May 11

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I strongly endorse this lawyer. Dale Berrett is an exceptionally capable and effective family lawyer. In addition to her traditional, domestic relations litigation practice, she also is a collaborative divorce lawyer. I have worked with Ms. Berrett in both environments. In litigation, she is a tough, thorough, and forceful advocate for her client's interests. As collaborative counsel, she is solution-oriented, insightful, and quite good at promoting her client's objectives in that process. Dale Berrett brings well-developed advocacy skills, years of legal experience, and an understanding of family dynamics to her domestic relations practice."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
