Thanks for all your help Dana

Dana, is an awesome attorney and was very helpful, understanding and supportive when I was going through my divorce. Having just had my best friend walk out on me, Dana made the transition into my new life stress free and easy.

Everyone asked me when I got separated If I had found "a good lawyer"? I had no idea how to find one and I wasn't convinced I needed one. Couldn't we play nice in the sandbox without spending lots of money? I was referred to Ms. Lehnhardt by a friend and I met with her to discuss the separation ag...reement my husband of 14 years had drawn up. We had 4 children together and it was important to me to keep things as amicable as possible. I wanted to know my rights. I wanted everything to be fair. I wanted an attorney that was on my side that was as aggressive as I wanted her to be. Ms. Lehnhardt was all those things. She listened without judgment. She helped me save hundreds of thousands of dollars by picking apart a separation agreement that could have come back to bite me if I had signed blindly. I realized through her that my ex-husband and I needed boundaries and individual advocates. We couldn't communicate well while we were married and divorcing was no different. I felt protected and secure. I got what wanted and deserved without WW3. Highly recommend this attorney.

Avvo Rating

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.
