Dana Palmer, Family Attorney on Nov 11, 2013
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.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Helene Parker, Family Attorney on Feb 1, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Dawn is one of my mentors who has guided me in the practice of law. She has served as mediator and parenting facilitator for my cases. I cannot speak highly enough of my respect for her not only as a lawyer but also as a decent, strong, and compassionate human being.
