Understanding and caring

I hired her the same week of my temporary child custody hearing because I thought I could represent myself but decided to call around. She was the only one to take on my case in such a short notice. She nailed it in court and I was granted everything I was asking for. She is the BEST.

Wonderful Lawyer, Beautiful and Compasionated Person!

I highly recommend the services of Attorney Dana Judas, a compassionate, discreet, sensitive person who knows how to hear when you are sad and frustrated, she is realistic and very professional. She is one of those types of people who make you feel comfortable. My divorce case should have been reso...lved in 90 days and it had been going on for more than 8 months, I was already desperate. She helped solve it almost immediately. The calls and mediations of the Court were over for me, because she was in charge of everything. I previously contacted two or three of these On-Line Agencies that promise you that if you pay them they will help you right away (liars-liars); that was a waste of time, you end up paying a lot of money because they take monthly amounts from your credit card and they print the forms for you (so that you fill them out and return to them and you don't even understand what you're doing and the process can take you many months, without having someone truly responsible). Please read the reviews of those websites, it helps a lot to avoid getting scammed. Later I wanted to handle the case by myself, but when you have minor children, that becomes difficult and complicated. A real stress for me and my ex-husband too. The only thing I regret is not having hired Attorney Dana Judas before. She was accessible to my emails, calls all the time and she solved everything, better than expected. The prices are quite accessible. It was enough for us to meet only once, we talked about the case and she told me what would happen next and that's what happened. My first language is Spanish and I thought the communication was going to be complicated, but she made everything so simple for me. I am very thankful! It was the company where I work that put me in contact with her, through excellent services called PAS (Personal Assistance Services), which I didn't even know I had as part of my benefits. That also helped make my payment cheaper. If you are about to start a divorce process or you are in the middle of a difficult one, you should hire the services of this amazing woman, you will not regret it. Acquaintances with whom I have mentioned my situation, have told me that I have been very blessed with her. A divorce is not easy for anyone, regardless of the circumstances. Find someone compassionate and professional to help you. - Thanks Liz, her assistant too, for all the help you provided! Today I will start writing a new Chapter in my life! Lord help me!

Stress Free experience

We all know that going through a divorce is stressful enough then you add the legal side to it and it can be overwhelming. Dana and Liz made this process stress free. One of them was always around to answer any of my questions. I would and will highly recommend Dana to anyone looking for a great ...attorney

Very Attentive & Great Advocate

Dana Judas was extremely helpful throughout my entire divorce process. She was always very attentive in responding to any questions and advocated for my rights whenever needed. She truly cared about my case and made sure that I received a fair settlement. I would strongly recommend hiring her to ...represent you.

Serious, honest, dedicated and efficient family lawyer

Dana helped us with an adoption. She was very accessible, clear and made the process feel very safe. Dana guided us every step of the way and was very informative about the process and delivered results. We are so appreciative to have hired her and will be forever grateful to her!
