Outstanding Lawyer

Dana helped me in getting guardianship for my mother-in-law. She explained everything that would happen in the process. I cannot say enough about Dana she is knowledgeable, courteous and professional. I highly recommend her. Brenda

Great lawyer

I hired Dana after a friend told me about her services from his divorce case. After the first consultation I was very impressed with her knowledge and I knew I was I. Good hands. She answered all of my questions abs was very thorough. She did a great job representing me and I am very happy that my di...vorce went smoothly and it is settled. Her staff was very helpful too. I would definitely recommend Dana.

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.

Mistakes

When dealing with a family matter this attorney made some mistakes that cost me my case. I am not happy with the outcome and would not recommend her.
