Highly recommend this firm!

Not going to lie. I talked to a few lawyers before making a selection. They all seemed to say the same thing. So I chose Dana because of his Soft Divorce philosophy. And his name... :) It was just a coin toss at that point. But it turns out it was the wisest move I could have made. I began thi...s process over 18 months ago. I chose Soft Divorce because I am trying to divorce someone who is certifiably mentally ill. I did not want to hurt him or cause more pain. I just wanted a divorce. This has proven to be a monumentally difficult, if not impossible task since my husband is not only mentally impaired, but he insists on representing himself. Dana has been compassionate and patient through the whole process. While we are still in the process, he has taken all of the necessary steps to provide for my safety and well being. He has also worked through the courts to provide a legal avenue for me to continue to protect my assets in the interim. I may be his first Hard Divorce case! I would highly recommend his firm for any family law needs. The entire firm is responsive and knowledgeable. They prove they really care through their actions, not just their words.

Against all odds,Mr.Palmer was able to change an unfair agreement to one that I was happy with.

After I foolishly signed a completely unfair,one sided divorce decree,Mr.Palmer somehow was able to change many of very important details that I was not even aware of,as well as some details that were just plain unfair.After it was all said and done,it felt like a 50/50 split instead of a 85/15.My on...ly regret is that I didn't hire him before I signed the final decree of divorce.Thank you Dana,you made the next 16 years much better than they would have been.

Unbelievable Team

Dana Palmer and his team are extremely professional individuals and were available to discuss my case at times that were convenient for me. They took over all communication with opposing counsel immediately and made the process as stress free for me as possible. Throughout the proceedings they we...re organized and helpful in every aspect. They demonstrated the skills necessary to actively advocate on my behalf and always treated my case with attention and care. I highly recommend Dana Palmer as a compassionate and diligent attorney.

A tough attorney and law firm who cares

I would definitely recommend Mr. Dana Palmer with Soft Divorce. Earlier this year, Mr. Palmer helped my family with legal services and from the moment I dialed his firm, he and his staff were extremely responsive and professional. His staff made immediate accomodations for an urgent legal matter an...d made me feel very well taken care of throughout the process. I would highly recommend Soft Divorce to anyone wanting not only the best legal representation but also get an attorney and firm that care and it shows.

Successful mediated settlement

Used Dana's Soft Divorce firm to make changes to original divorce decree to address child support, residence restrictions, and schools attended. Dana tried to settle agreement amicably with my ex and was generally interested in settling with limited conflict and considering both parties. Still had to... go to mediation, but Dana's team did a great job in mediation getting me some concessions I hadn't expected; without the need for going to court. I did have some periods of frustration, beginning of 2013, due to slower response time but I believe that was due to firm growth and was eventually resolved by hiring of additional lawyer and paralegal.
