Dana Casper

I can't recommend Dana Casper highly enough. She took my case; which was a complicated one, and through her knowledge and skill, was able to get me justice. During the entire time, Dana Casper kept me informed of the progression of the case. She also kept in touch with me to be assured that I was alr...ight. Dana Casper is a complete professional who uses knowledge, skill, and caring with each client.

Posted by Zach | May 26, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Sincere, compassionate lawyer.

I hired Dana after a having a previous lawyer, who did next to nothing, dismissed from the case. Dana was compassionate and cared about what outdone I needed, but was realistic as well. Her enthusiasm showed in the courtroom and two years later, my case is a distant memory with a great outcome. I'...d recommend Dana to anyone who needs an attorney that is caring and makes your case as important as you know it is.

  • 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.
