Upstanding Moral Character

I hired Dana and can't say enough about him. He is an overall amazing person with the legal skills to match. He truly has the best interests of his clients at heart and will work tirelessly to ensure the best possible positive outcomes. He has done and continues to do this for me. I highly recommend ...Dana to anyone in need of criminal legal counsel as he will be your best decision in the state of MN.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
