About Dana
Biography
Due to recent concerns over spread of the Coronavirus, I am offering telephonic consultations in addition to meeting in person. I provide personal and discreet representation for those with financial hardships. I work with my clients to bring about the best long term solution to their problems whether through bankrutpcy or debt settlement, alway keeping in mind the best way to repair credit score damage. My clients meet with me at every phase of the process, never with paralegals or new associates. My former career as a creditors' attorney has provided me with insight into the creditors' perspective and allows me to offer enhanced legal representation to my clients. I am a Virginia Beach native and attended First Colonial High School, the University of Virginia, and the University of Georgia School of Law.
