Awesome, experienced attorney

Dawn represented me in a divorce case. I always felt protected by the proceedings as you need an attorney that notices all the small things. None of the items in your divorce are small. Dawn has also prepared a will and healthcare directive for me. I have referred her to numerous people who have all ...been satisfied. The person I use as a financial advisor refers her to people for divorces and will preparation. Please use Dawn so you are not disappointed.

Fantastic attorney!

Knowledge of practice: Dawn is very knowledgeable in her area of divorce and child custody. This is her professional focus and she does it extremely well. Oral and written representation of your case: Dawn did a great job of collecting necessary information and structuring that data to provid...e an accurate and compelling argument. She understands what issues exist in your case and how to share that information. Communication to client: Dawn was my second attorney that handled my case. One of my key complaints with my initial representation was the complete lack of communication, which was completely resolved when I hired Dawn. Between Dawn and her staff, you will always know what is going on with your case. She is also extremely good at dealing with less than cooperative opposing counsel! She was always very polite and professional, while being firm and direct regarding her opinions. Attention to all details and deadlines: Dawn knows the process and makes sure all the details are covered. My specific case was going terribly due to poor representation, which caused me to make a late in the process change of attorney. Dawn took charge of the case, addressed all the outstanding issues and completely turned the situation around for me. As a result of her guidance and representation, I achieved extremely favorable results in the divorce and custody decision of our son. If you read this Dawn, thank you so much for everything you did! No words will every adequately express my thanks to you and your team. ~Mark

She gets things done!

I hired Dawn to help me with my divorce. She was professional, efficient and direct. I found her style easy to work with. She presented everything in an easy to understand manner and asked thoughtful questions to help guide me through this difficult and emotional process. I enjoyed working with h...er so much, I hired her to write my will and health care directive. She made it simple and easy. I'd highly recommend Dawn to anyone in these situations.
