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 put me at ease from my first phone call. Everything he told me was going to happen, Happened. He knew that we were not going to get a deal until she was done flogging me. Ha. He was right. It was like he could read her mind and knew how to handle every situation we were faced with. He got me t...

THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS
As a former law enforcement officer I have seen my share of the best and worst in the legal profession. McClendon's ability to handle tough situations with Local, State or Federal agencies is unparalleled. If you get "one phone call" it should be to Attorney Dana C. McClendon.
This client had a unique situation that had to be handled delicately. I gave him good advice, he took it and did what I asked, and we threaded that needle just perfectly. Big win in the end.

Dana McLendon III
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. ...
I appreciate this review. I worked with this client for many months to protect their children from a dangerous situation. We were able to get custody changed and make other arrangements that were in the children's best interest, and I'm glad this family trusted me with this important responsibility.
"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."
