night mare!

the worst of the worst, she does not know what she is doing, in court she is like a fish out of water, did not keep me informed and did not return calls and was charged for things she didn't do she nickel and dime, and I had to pay for things she had to look up for stuff she didn't know, she is a was...te of money and I am still in the same situation and broke, beware! and had the nerve to run for judge, lord have mercy on the world soul.

Don't Use This Attorney

I hired Dawn for a simple agreed upon Joint Parenting Agreement. I only needed her help in writing it legally, and submitting it. I found errors on every monthly statement where I was charged for services that didn't take place. I rarely received a returned phone call, and it only once came directly ...from Dawn. She filed court date upon court date for "status", but somehow this was dragged out for more than a year. I spent more than $15,000, and was always current on my bill, but she racked up $3,000 in the final month, which I was not prepared to pay all at once. She filed a judgment against me, and I never even received a copy of the parenting order signed by the judge from her. I had to go directly to the courthouse and get a copy on my own. Don't do it! Terrible experience.

Good lawyer

Didn't always respond to calls in a timely manner, but overall helpful and a good lawyer

Worst experience and biggest waste of money! Would not recommend her!

She NEVER returns phone calls, doesn't update you on whats going on.. goes to court without informing you. In 9 months I've spent $3000 and accomplished nothing on a child support case! Ridiculous.. I've talked to other lawyers about the same case and have been told that this is absolutely unnecessar...y.. she's dragging things out to get money. Firing her today!

Don't make the mistake I made

I don't knw where to start. All I can say is don't make the mistake I made. She nickels and dimes every chance she gets, never returns call, never is prepared. Still not divorced had to fire her.

  • 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.
