Dawn Renee Traverso's Lawyer Endorsements
"Ms. Traverso is one of the leading workers' compensation defense attorneys in South Florida. I would recommend others seek her representation for such cases."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dawn is the hardest working attorney I know who is universally respected in the workers compensation or practice. She has served the section above and beyond the call of duty and is an excellent litigator."
"Dawn is a leader in her field. She is knowledgeable and always quick to respond. I highly recommend Dawn!"
"I have worked in the same industry as Dawn since 1999 and have the pleasure of working with her now. Her professionalism and knowledge are exceptional. I highly recommend her."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have known Dawn now for over a decade. She has opposed me on matters in workers' compensation. She pays enormous attention to deatail, leaving no stone unturned for her clients. That said, she also approaches the defense from a cost containment perspective. She is not willing to waste her client's money in pursuit of baseless defenses. She is a top quality attorney and a genuinely nice, intelligent and affable young lady. Sit with her on either side of the table and you will be left with a great impression of Dawn. I recommend her highly."
"Ms. Traverso is a very competent workers compensation attorney. She represents her clients, which are usually large employers or insurance carriers, with integrity and skill."
"Not only has Ms. Traverso been a very competent adversary, she has also worked with me and the workers' compensation section of the Florida Bar to create meaningful educational programs for other lawyers who practice workers' compensation law. If I had a claim against my firm, I can't think of too many better lawyers to defend that claim than Ms. Traverso."
