This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Dawn and her team are outstanding

Dawn represented me during my divorce mediation. I am very pleased with her representation. She kept me informed and communicated to me clearly during every step of the process. I highly recommend Dawn for divorce/mediation representation.

  • 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.
