Posted by Barry | November 18, 2014 | Probate

Long distance legal matter

My wife's sister passed away unexpectedly in Dallas, Texas. There was no will so the estate went to probate. We live in Ohio which meant the process needed to be handled through correspondence. The pleasant and professional communications we had with Dawn made a difficult situation much more tolerab...le. To have an honest representative in Dallas overseeing my sister in law's estate meant a lot to the family.

Atty Dawn Fowler was my anchor in a stormy sea!

Atty Dawn Fowler was recommended to me when my divorce was finished but nothing was being executed per my original decree. I needed someone who could give me sage advice and help everything come to a fair and equitable resolution. She was always very steady when everything got tense and always had ...my children's best interest at heart. I know that my children are better off because she was my attorney, and I know everything is now fair to both parties. I highly recommend Dawn Fowler.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Dawn is one of the best family law attorneys in Dallas. She is a wonderful human being and she does great work for her clients. I know that anyone I would refer to her would be taken great care of. She is also very willing to offer me a second opinion on a difficult case (and vice-versa) and I somewhat consider her part of my "Jedi Counsel". She is one of the best."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
