Costly Mistakes and Zero Accountability

My experience with attorney Dale was extremely disappointing. He made multiple serious mistakes throughout my case that cost me both time and money. He failed to provide proper notice to the other party multiple times, and at one point allowed them 26 weeks to comply instead of the court-ordered 1...3 weeks. He also used incorrect or incomplete language in court filings, which caused me to lose out on a default judgment. When I hired a new attorney to take over, they discovered that Dale had failed to preserve the correct date for the court’s four-year lookback, which resulted in a financial loss of approximately $10,000–$13,000. Throughout the process, I had to closely monitor his work because of the repeated errors. When I raised concerns, he spoke to me dismissively, cut me off, and refused to take responsibility even when the mistakes were obvious. In my opinion, Dale’s lack of attention to detail, accountability, and professionalism caused significant harm to my case. I would strongly advise others not to hire him.

Great lawyer!

Dale helped me with my divorce and custody issues with my children. He was very good at understanding the issues/concerns I had and made it clear that I knew what I was able to fight for and what I should consider. I highly recommend him for any family issues/concerns you may have.

Exceptional Attorney

Dale Helped me with my divorce. He answered all my questions and gave me great advice that helped me more than I can say. After my Divorce was final, I had some financial issues with my Ex not wanting to cooperate with the outcome of things. I called Dale to get his advice and to see what I could do.... Dale took my call and advised me on how to handle the situation. He gave me some scenarios of what I could say to get the issues resolved. He went above and beyond to help me. I have since then referred two friends and would recommend him to anyone else.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

I hired Dale to represent me in my divorce. His prices were fair, and his representation excellent. I had a lot of anxiety and fear for how things would turn out. Dale was very professional, and thoroughly explained everything to me and expertly guided me through each step in the process. He was alwa...ys responsive to my emails and calls, and gave me more than my share of "off the clock" time. I would recommend Dale to help you out with any family law issue.
