I am happy to endorse Dayna as an outstanding elder law / estate planning / probate / trusts attorney. Dayna is extremely knowledgeable and patient with her clients. She practices Elder Law because she genuinely cares about that community. Dayna takes the time to understand her clients' needs and concerns to craft the right legal course of action. In addition to being a top-notch attorney in her field, Dayna is also a wonderful person and valued member of her community. Hire Dayna if you want a good person, and fine attorney, to handle your elder law / estate planning / probate / trusts matter.
