Dana is Outstanding
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. From the very beginning Dana spent time learning the whole backstory of my case as well as listening to what I wanted most out of the situation...

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...
"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."
