highly unprofessional
in her words, "it is not a priority to us to return emails requesting that is not yet available..." "those messages may take several days or even a week or two for us to respond." she was quick to anger when I questioned her and disagreed with your recommendations because it was not in my best intere...

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

Diligent and straightforward
Dana was in a science field before the law - meaning, she is "better than lawyer" smart - and she chose this work out of a true passion for helping people. She may not tell you what you want to hear, but she will tell you what you need to know. She is tenacious, and extremely concerned about the we...
Dana Adkins's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Dana is a thoughtful and zealous advocate for her clients. She is skilled in legal reasoning, highly intelligent, and hard working. She also genuinely cares about the outcomes for all of her clients. I do not hesitate to refer clients to her."
"I had the privilage of serving as Ms. Adkin's mentor when she first started her practice and have enjoyed watching her grow as an attorney. She is a great family law practitioner and works tirelessly to help her clients during very difficult times."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I've worked with Dana on several matters. She's a tireless advocate for her clients. She genuinely cares about her clients and wants the best possible outcome fin each case. She's also active in the Dorchester County Bar Association and has organized various continuing legal education programs and other functions contributing to the quality of our bar association."
"Dana is a wonderful lawyer. She understands the needs of her clients and works hard to achieve their goals. I would recommend Dana to anyone looking for a reasonably priced attorney to resolve a family law issue."
"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."
