Hi, I’m Dusty Dawn! I’m the founding partner of Dusty Dawn Law. I practice primarily in Family, Criminal, Probate and Estate Planning areas of law.
Family law, in particular, is a difficult area to specialize in. It takes a specific type of attorney and I’m that type! I’m a first-generation college and law school graduate. I have firsthand experience growing up in a working-class family and forging my own way to become the advocate I am today.
My passion for helping people who otherwise would have no voice to help themselves is derived directly from the experiences I lived leading to a decision I made at the age of 15 to do whatever I could to help others. Although my own daughter is now an adult in college, my experience raising her as a single parent often working multiple jobs while obtaining my education provides me with deep insight and empathy for the community of people I represent.
Let my unwavering dedication, passion, and determination work for you!

Dos Not Review Evidence!!!!!
Ignored the facts in the case and did not interview all parties to obtain a clear view of the best interest of a teen female. Wrote her recommendations based on false evidence. Never even went to see the living conditions of the other parent/minor child involved.
The attorney ad litem's role is to advocate for the best interests of the child, and all decisions are made with careful consideration of the relevant facts and legal standards. It is important to note that, while the attorney ad litem is required to review evidence and interview relevant parties, the process of gathering information is complex and may involve a range of factors that contribute to the final recommendations. The attorney ad litem is committed to acting to ensure that the best interests of the child are represented. Additionally, in custody disputes, one of the parents may feel dissatisfied with the recommendations made by the attorney ad litem. This reaction is not unusual and does not reflect the diligence of the attorney or the investigation conducted throughout the case. The goal of the attorney ad litem is always to provide a recommendation that best serves the child's interests, based on the information available at the time.
