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!!!!

Brenda helped end a 3 year nightmare for me

I was sighted and had no hope to beat this ticket. I hired Brenda based on several good recommendations in the community. She fought very aggressively at my trial and we lost due to some politics. She then appealed the case to a higher court and we won! Thank you Brenda!

A Smart, Straightforward Lawyer

With Brenda Dahl as my lawyer, I got the best possible outcome for several legal issues involving Family and Real Estate law. Her reputation of integrity, her knowledge of applicable law and her success which I personally experienced lead me to highly recommend Brenda to family, friends and others. K...nowing I felt at ease as a client made difficult circumstances better; Brenda offered me knowledgeable choices, gaged outcomes and recommended best scenarios. She consistently communicated with me as we moved through the legal process. This smart, straightforward lawyer was the right attorney for me and for others seeking that quality service.

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!

She Does it Right!

Brenda was my divorce attorney. She was very knowledgeable and smart in court. She did not fight dirty, which I appreciated, even though opposing attorney was. My son has a severe disability, Brenda did what she had to do to make sure my children and I had a fighting chance for what we deserved, b...ut she did it the right way. She stuck with facts and made sure I was well prepared for what to expect in court, as well as the unknown of what would happen, regardless of the law or what typically happens. We were well prepared going into court and trial was lengthy. I was on the stand for longer than 4 hours and Brenda had me prepared for what opposing attorney would put me through. The judge we had seemed to appreciate how Brenda handled the case, sticking with the facts. I did get what we went to trial for, and then some. I would recommend Brenda and would turn to her in any situation I may need her for in the future. I was amazed at how smart she was and how much she knew. I did not always like when she told me the possibilities, however, I had to know what to expect. I had a delicate case and she was perfect for it.
