Dana Crosland McLendon III

Dana represented me in a parenting plan renegotiation and he was absolutely brilliant. My original plan was lopsided and I was never happy or comfortable with it. I believe that kids need both parents when both are willing, and able, to be actively involved their lives and neither should have an up...per hand. I was referred to Dana by a friend and when I shared with him how I felt, Dana immediately went to work to did his magic. I was pulled into renegotiations by my ex who wanted yet further control over our kids and to further limit my time with our children and I’ll admit, I was unhappy about it. But with Dana by my side, I walked away with an equitable 50/50 plan that favors the children, not the parents. I will forever be indebted to him for what he did for my children and he truly changed the trajectory of all of their lives. Meeting someone that can actually do that in the lives of others is rare indeed, and Dana is absolutely a cut above. I will have no reservations about hiring him again and I’ll enthusiastically refer him to anyone who needs his services. You can trust Dana, he does what he says he’ll do and if you need an attorney by your side - he’s absolutely your man!

Dana took my case after an average experience with a prominent attorney in Franklin. He handled the case professionally, but spoke candidly with me as well. Which was important during a traumatic time. I wanted equal custody with my 1 year old daughter and I walked away with 43% and no finger pointin...g in court. Dana defended me well against bold allegations and wasn't afraid to fight for me. Thank you Dana.

Mr. McLendon is a seasoned and experienced attorney in the Nashville area. He has handled my divorce and custody battle with my ex-wife in a professional, calm, and incredibly collected fashion. His goal has been in line with mine, from day one, to ensure that the best outcome is reached for my chi...ldren. Mr. McLendon was sensible, amicable, and did everything possible to reach a compromise during mediation, but when my ex wanted to go to trial, he dug in and was an absolute bloodhound as we got ready for it. If you're finding yourself needing legal representation due to the fact that you're getting a divorce, I would highly suggest hiring Dana McLendon to represent you, as he is going to fight, with a laser sighted focus and a mastermind strategy, to win your case. He is more than you would expect from a lawyer, as he is going to give you sound counseling and guideas you through the long and troubled road that is involved with ending a marriage. If you care about what is going to be waiting for you and your children after the judge tells you that you're divorced, then he is the lawyer that I would reccomend.

This is the second time I retained Mr. McLendon for my legal opportunities. He previously represented my wife and was a referral of her's to me. Specifically, the most recent case I had to retain him for was to go to chancery court to help advise me on my rights as a non-custodial parent in my mu...rky cross-state lines case. We were able to defend the review of child support with a result that yielded only a minor increase of support but was far less than what the custodial parent wanted. Left the court with my ex-wife being thoroughly mad at me.

Dana McClendon has been our family attorney since 2011 and is hands down the best! Dana is a trustworthy and competent lawyer who uses his expertise to navigate the system and get his clients the best outcome. We have been able to rely on his guidance which has proven to be invaluable every time. ...We have used him twice for two different family law cases. Recently we called Dana on a Friday afternoon and he was in court representing us the following Monday morning. I found out later he postponed a family trip to be in court that morning with us. He was genuinely concerned about the outcome of our cases and walked us through six separate trials. His unmatched confidence in the court room and knowledge of the law was evident in the final outcome of our case. Dana was thoroughly prepared for each of our trials. No matter how anxious we were about an upcoming trial, as soon as Dana walked into the court room it was if the Calvary had arrived. It is very hard for a Father to get custody of his children but because of Dana our kids are in a safe environment. We would definitely use Dana for any and all legal matters we ever have and I would HIGHLY recommend him to all of my family, friends and colleagues. If they made a bumper sticker that said “I love my attorney”, I would stick that on the back of my car without hesitation. Joe and Angie
