Posted by Jason | May 21, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

A guardian angel disguised as a lawyer!

When my son was born his mother refused to let me see him for the first six months of his life. The first lawyer I hired did absolutely nothing in mine or my sons best interest, so I fired her and hired Attorney Dahl. Looking back, I now know this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My on...ly regret is I wish I would have done it sooner or just hired her from the beginning. Attorney Dahl always had my back; whether it was laying out exactly what the courts expectations were, to explaining the process and what I should expect, to answering my calls/texts/emails at all hours of the night just so I could vent my frustration with the situation, to offering flexible payment options, to taking a genuine interest in my case and treating me like family, to helping me get 50/50 custody of my son. Words alone can’t express how grateful I am for Attorney Dahl. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, personable, and an absolute delight to work with. With Attorney Dahl there was no beating around the bush, or making promises she couldn’t deliver, in fact she was very straightforward and blunt about what I needed to fix with myself in order to be a better person, a better father, and be able to effectively co-parent. I honestly couldn’t have done it without Attorney Dahl and am forever indebted to her. I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again, THANK YOU for everything Brenda, you truly are my guardian angel!!!!

GOD SEND

I've been in and out of court the last 14 years enforcing my visitation rights, contempt issues and parental alienation done so by my ex and his wife. I felt as if I were in a losing battle having no choice but to accept defeat and be at the mercy of my ex and his wife, with them having complete and ...undeserved control through their lies and manipulation. That all changed when I found Brenda. Not only did Brenda fight for me in a total professional manner, but also on a personal level as well. Anytime we were in court, she was so passionate as if it were her own case she was representing. I never had to speak, because she covered all bases for me so I wouldn't have to. I can't thank her enough for the empowerment she provided me with throughout this case. I do not feel so beat down as I have over the course of all these years, I feel human again, and I owe that to Brenda not only being a wonderful attorney, but someone who I would now consider a friend.

Has Done An Awesome Job!

I retained Brenda Dahl to handle my divorce. Throughout the process she has been very professional, but also very sensitive to my needs. She always had my interests at the forefront and was always careful that I was comfortable with the court process. She did things timely and efficiently and I ne...ver had any question of her knowledge of the law. Everything she advised me was on point and accurate. I appreciate that she was able to make a difficult situation easier with positive results. I also was thankful for her availability. I never had to wait long for a reply to the many questions I had along the way. I would strongly recommend Brenda Dahl as an attorney. She can be trusted to do what is right in the eyes of the law and what is right for you. I made the right choice in hiring Brenda Dahl as my attorney!

GREAT WORK!!!!!

I retained Brenda to help with my small legal matter that turned out to be bigger than I thought. She was very supportive and helped me understand the legal system. She was tough, but truly cared about the best interest of my family as a whole. She is a great person to work with, and follows throug...h on what she says she is going to do. I can not say enough about how she helped me through this difficult time with ease and finesse. I would refer her to anyone who would like an attorney who truly cares about her clients.

A True Professional

Brenda represented me in the most difficult period of my life. No parent should have to face a custody battle, but if they are unfortunate enough to be forced to, Brenda would be the attorney to have in your corner. She was sensitive to the issues that we were facing as a family and she aggressivel...y defended not only me as a father but also my children. Brenda went above and beyond what I expected and was always there for any questions that I had about the legal process and the custody hearing itself. During this emotional time in my life she was sensitive to my feelings as a father and recognized that I have rights too, even in today's society where the role of the father is not deemed as important as that of the mother. She was a true Fathers Rights advocate and I am very impressed with the services she provided. Brenda won primary placement of my children for me and she left no stone unturned. Brenda became more than an attorney to me, my wife and children, she is now a member of our family and we are forever grateful to her.
