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.

Handled My Divorce Well

Dana is the first lawyer I've ever hired, so my experience is admittedly limited. Obviously I didn't expect to get divorced when I first got married. Who does? Dana was great about answering all of my questions and addressing my concerns throughout the entire process. She never made me feel as if my ...concerns were invalid or irrational, and she never gave me reason to doubt that everything she was doing was in my best interests as her client. There were no hidden fees or wastes of money with her.....she did her job for the agreed upon (and reasonable) price, which I GREATLY appreciate. She changed firms in the middle of handling my case, and I am very happy with my decision to stick with her when she did!

Thank you, Erik, for your positive comments. I'm very happy we were able to come to a positive resolution. Take care!

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.

Thank you for everything.

Dana was always very professional. When Dana was not with a client or in a meeting she would always get right back to me. If anyone needs a good attorney like Dana I'm definitely going to recommend her.

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.
