Simply excellent

Dana has all the qualities you would hope for in a divorce lawyer. Mine was a complicated case involving support and custody issues across international borders and Dana handled it brilliantly. She is extremely thorough, meticulous, passionate, and highly motivated. She is also extremely quick-witted..., and seems to have knowledge at her fingertips: over the course of the trial, the judge brought up issues around the international borders, and Dana very quickly formulated answers (complete with references to points of law) that were satisfactory to the judge. It was quite a pleasure to watch her in action! She also has a support team working tirelessly in the background. I cannot recommend Dana highly enough!

Thank you so much for you confidence during this process. You made mine and Katie's job easy! Thanks, Bob.

Excellent attorney

We had very little time and resources and my ex had a ton of both. She kept us focused on what I considered the most important (the safety of my kids). Not only did she do great work, she was efficient and made it work with the budget we had. She respected the law, the judge, the witnesses, my kids... and me. It was not an easy case and she got innovative without compromising the integrity of the case. Not everyone can say that about their attorneys. We are so grateful for her work and would recommend her to all who ask.

Fast and professional response

Messaged Dana in regards to my custody case. She responded immediately and was more than willing to meet with me. I ended up not needing her representation but would have hired her due to her timely and professional response. I will most definitely contact her if needed in the future. Thank you!

Child Custody

Dana was an excellent attorney. She helped me come up with a custody plan that I felt comfortable with. Dana was very knowledgeable about the process and helped me better understand it. I would highly recommend hiring her and I would definitely hire her in the future.

Personable, professional, knowledgeable.

Dana completely put me at ease while dealing with my divorce. She took the time to understand the background of my situation, and was very thorough in explaining every possible avenue of action. She managed to be completely objective while also voicing what she felt was best for me and my children. S...he did not sugar coat anything, but was also great about presenting information to me in a way that wouldn't overwhelm me or stress me out. She got to know my strong & weak suits quite well! Dana went above and beyond the job that I hired her for; helping to gather resources and information to assist in my search for new homes, and legitimately taking personal interest in the outcome of my situation. I hope that I won't have the need for an attorney again in the future, but if I ever do I would absolutely hire Dana again!
