Posted by AMarie | March 19, 2019 | Hired Attorney | White Collar Crime

White Collar Crime Case

I am extremely happy with the result of my white collar crime case. Dana did an excellent job representing a very complicated and nearly impossible case. The outcome could have been almost the worst possible imaginable, and Dana was able to fairly negotiate an excellent outcome. Prior to hiring her, ...I read some of her other reviews and it appeared she is well respected amongst her peers and the community. She represented me without bullying the prosecuting side, or creating any uncomfortable situations in the courtroom. She presented the facts and was very to the point. Dana was also very transparent throughout the case as far as who she was meeting with, and when, and her thoughts on the case itself during the process. If I had questions, she was available to answer them. Thanks Dana!

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.
