Wonderful, organized, helpful and caring

I used Dana for a very high conflict modification of parenting time. She was extremely organized and thorough. She was always on time and always answered any questions I had (and I had a lot) in a very timely fashion, and never made me feel silly or like I was a bother. I would absolutely recommend h...er to anyone that is looking for representation for themselves. She helped me to insure my children are safe and taken care of and I couldn't be more thankful for everything she did for me. If I could give her more stars, I would!

Disappointed

At my first consultation I expressed all my concerns and Dana assured me she would cover all of my concerns. This was a divorce case with 2 minor children and over 25 years of marriage. This case seemed long and drawn out. There was additional contempt of court cases added to it. I felt that Da...na went with whatever the opposing lawyer wanted. Dana also told me I had to sign some paperwork even if I did not agree with it. She did not fight for me at all. Her words to me were, "Some times you win and some times you loose.! ". In the end she ended up quitting on me. I was left in court with no representation. I pray that anyone who has children reads this first before hiring her. My children are my most valuable thing on earth. I don't want anyone else to hire Dana and not get good lawyer representation, especially with children.

Amazing Lawyer

Dana was amazing in representing me for my parenting case. She is smart and caring for her clients. She is always on point and will not take advantage of you. If you are looking for a honest, caring, good lawyer, she is your woman!

Best Attorney Hands Down!

I was having difficult issues with my child's mother and needed to get an attorney that would really help me get what was best for my son. When I hired dana I knew she would fight for everything that would help my son. She truly is the best attorney hands down! Thank you Dana.

Dana Considine

Dana represented myself and my two children through a lengthy and difficult divorce. She clearly explained my options and the repercussions of those decisions, helping me to see the the divorce proceedings without the blur of my emotions. Dana was always one step ahead of me, her knowledge of divor...ce and custody issues is extensive. She has a relentless and professional courtroom demeanor, knowing exactly which issues to push and helping her clients acknowledge which issues are inconsequential.
