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

Dana is a beast in the court room!

We hired Dana to help with our adoption. She was amazing. She is very professional and knowledgeable when dealing with these types of cases. She did an adoption for a friend of mine as well! I would highly recommend using Dana with any family law case you have! She will definitely fight for you.

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.

Would not recommend

I hired Dana and was very disappointed. She was very uninterested in my case. Ignored my requests and took a long time to respond to any messages. Extra charges on her bill. She just was very cold and didn’t care at all.

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.
