Posted by Sandor | March 23, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Business

consummate professional

Dana worked tirelessly on several cases involving both of my business ventures. She was through and got the job done in a timely fashion. Her rates were reasonable. I am very satisfied with the work that she has done, I would use her again and I highly recommend her.

Business

My husband and I met Dana about 5 years ago. I contacted her about a bad bank loan. Dana was able to meet with the banker and she was able to get the bank to rewrite the loan. We have used Dana several times since then and she has been able to give us the advice we needed to move forward in our busi...ness.

Litigation

Dana took on a complicated case of construction defects for me. She worked closely with the insurance attorneys to gain a favorable outcome. I have used her in other matters where she is very prompt to get me advice or communicate with potential adversaries to avoid costly litigation.

Posted by anonymous | April 02, 2013 | Debt Settlement

Knowledgeable and Communicative

Dana helped my wife and I to be able to negotiate some old debt down to a more manageable amount with a payment plan. We were intimidated by the debt collections personnelle. Dana stepped in and represented us well.
