I was on the search for a lawyer that I could not only trust but one that I knew understood my heart for the situation and would fight hard for me to get it.

I called Dana and hired him to represent a family member in a DUI case. Dana looked at all of the discovery materials and one thing didn’t quite feel right to him. He requested follow up documentation from the DA’s office, who stalled and deferred for close to a year, postponing court dates multiple ...

If you need an attorney, Dana is the one you need to hire. Dana was referred to me from a friend and WOW, what a great choice. From the first time we spoke on the phone until my court date was over, he was top notch. I've used many attorneys throughout life and he is by far the best I've used. If you...

"I endorse this lawyer. I have seen this lawyer in action and he fights passionately for his clients every single time."
"Over the years, I have worked with Dana on a number of cases. I have also used him for his mediation services. He zealously advocates for his client and is a straight shooter. He delivers exactly what he promises and knows the law. I would highly recommend Dana."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Dana in a law practice. Once I was elected judge, he appeared in my court regularly. Dana has an extraordinary command of the law and his knowledge is unsurpassed. I never questioned his preparedness and his presentations to the court were always logical and clearly stated. Anyone that he represented always received his full attention in court and he is a strong advocate. I highly recommend him as an attorney in all types of legal matters. He will give his clients sound advice, creative solutions, and very effective representation."
"I have known Dana for a long time. He is always honest and fights hard for his clients. I have referred clients to him and will continue to do so."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dana is an awesome lawyer who does not put his own interests above his clients. If you are looking for a fighter who is not afraid of making an argument that might upset the status quo, Mr. McLendon III may be your best choice."
