Knowledgeable and Personable!

Dana is very knowledgeable on Iowa family law and was great at explaining everything to me on my unique divorce and custody case. She ALWAYS kept the children's best interests in mind and advocated for them. Fantastic to work with. Highly recommend!

Super Star

When I found myself in the difficult and surprising position of filing for divorce, Dana was my first and only call. She is kind, yet firm, compassionate and understanding, but also fair and focused on getting you to the finish line. My amicable ex was pro se and she made sure he understood everythi...ng that was happening. We settled quickly and quietly with no drama whatsoever. I attribute this to Dana’s cool and collected lawyering. She is able to be your advocate without completely eviscerating your ex. This was very important to me. In these trying times when it seems like the world is collapsing around us, she can be your life boat. And she does it with a smile on her face and your best interests in the forefront always.

Excellent Child Support Representation

I hired Dana to assist me with a Child Support Hearing. Her fees were reasonable and she was knowledgeable about the entire process. I immediately felt at ease working with Dana and she was very helpful in explaining the process and what I should expect. She told me the fees immediately so I knew the... costs going into it. The outcome was better than expected and Dana fought on my behalf during the hearing. I could not be more pleased with Dana and I will be using her for any future legal needs I may have with complete confidence.

Divorce Representation

Dana handled my divorce proceedings and subsequent appeal. She is very compassionate and is meticulous in her work. She is excellent in her communications with her clients and making them feel comfortable with the process. I felt her rate was reasonable and competitive in the Cedar Rapids area. I wou...ld recommend Dana to others.

I know it was a long process but we were able to get through it thanks to your positive outlook. I appreciate your kind words.

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!
