Potential Client

Dana always competently and compassionately answers all of my family’s and my questions pertaining to any civil issues that arise.

great at what she does

Dana is very good at her job. She helped us with 3 different cases, and we won all 3 cases! I would definitely use her again & have already recommended her to friends & family. If you choose her you won't be dissapointed! She's serious about what she does and cares about her clients.

Family lawyer | Jan 30

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Dana and I have a very different approach to the practice of family law, and the fact that both she and I have happy clients in spite of that difference shows that being a great attorney goes beyond the X's and O's of litigation. While she and I have yet to square off as opposing counsel, from the way she handles her practice, her Guardian ad Litem work, and the professional aspects of her life in general, I can say without question that Dana is as organized, as thorough, and as thoughtful as any attorney out there, if not more so. This endorsement is supposed to be from me, of course, but I can also attest to how Dana is universally well-thought-of among colleagues in our small community of domestic practitioners. She is tough, no-nonsense, well-informed, detail-oriented, and very frank. I have referred people to her before, I and I will continue to do so in the future -- starting with you, Mr. or Mrs. Avvo Researcher."

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.
