This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very unprofessional

We had a very disappointing experience with this lawyer. They were rude, unprofessional, and extremely pushy throughout our interactions. My brother felt pressured rather than advised, and my concerns were brushed aside instead of being addressed respectfully. This is not the level of professionalism... my brother expected, and i would not recommend their services.

The best defense lawyer you can find!

I was in need of a defense attorney. I was recommended to Dawn Hedlund. She walked me through everything that would happen, step-by-step. She was very professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the law. She did everything she said she would do, and sometimes went above and beyond to get the cha...rges against me dismissed. I would highly recommend her, if you are in need of an attorney.

Review for Dawn Hedlund

This is an exceptional attorney that's caring and honest. She worked hard every step of my case and in the end the case was dismissed. She is very organized and highly motivated! Would recommend her to anyone.

I'd give 10 stars if I could.

Awesome representation representation. Dawn was thorough and fierce. She made sure I had all my ducks in a row and my case was over and done is such a short time. I highly recommend her.

Amazing job!

Dawn did a tremendous job at getting my case dismissed. She was great at communicating and very time efficient. Her hard work is greatly appreciated and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal help.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
