Excellent Estate Attorney

We contacted Dana for estate planning. Dana was very knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. She asked the right questions to ensure that we thought through all aspects of our estate planning. We highly recommend Dana for your estate planning needs.

Outstanding Attorney!

Our Father passed away in Florida and all family members live over 2,000 miles away. We met Dana a year or so prior when she updated his estate plan, so we hired her to help with the estate distribution, etc. One of the best decisions we made. Dana was professional, compassionate, detail orientated, ...easy to talk to, and always available. She dealt with and resolved everything with financial institutions (some who were very uncooperative), referred us to a great real estate agent for his condo, and helped us no matter what issue came up. Plus Dana was able to handle everything without us having to fly cross country and return to Florida. We could not have found a better attorney. We highly recommend her.

A true professional with a kind heart and attentive ear!

Dana assisted us with estate planning for our elderly father. This was not a trivial task, with him in FL and the remainder of the family 1500 miles away! She was extremely patient with him, and took the time to understand what he wished to accomplish. Dana was extremely thorough with document prepar...ation, never failed to answer emails or calls, and went the extra mile to accommodate our needs. We consider ourselves lucky to have found her. Thanks Dana!!!!

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.
