Smart, dedicated, easy to talk with, yet driven

Dana Urick was my divorce attorney for six years. I know that this is an unusually long time, but that is what happens with a complicated divorce. Dana was wonderful to work with. She was caring, smart, dedicated, and honest. She was also very articulate and driven to get a divorce agreement that wou...ld suit my children and me. At the time of my separation, I was a stay at home mom and had stopped working for seven years. Dana encouraged me to go back to school and get a master's degree, which I am grateful for. Dana is very approachable and easy to talk with, yet she is fierce in the court room. She was actually the second lawyer that I hired to work on my case, after the first lawyer cost me a lot of money and did not help much. I have remained in contact with Dana and consider her a friend now. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a family law attorney.

Most Trusted Attorney with Heart One could Ask for

Hideous divorce. I thought I would fall apart, Dana kept me and our case going and together. Even when I wanted to throw in the towel because it was all just too too much, her explanations and straight talk made me realize I had to continue on the path. And her advice was so genuine and well thought.... We didnt win every battle because you just cant in divorce, but we won the war. I am so much happier now and it was worth every penny. Dont sit on the fence. Hire Dana and reclaim your life!

A-mazing Lawyer! Got Full Custody of my Kids and Support! Tough and gets results.

I had a messy custody case with my ex that had been handled by a pricey, big firm. I was not getting any results. A friend recommended Dana and told me that if I wanted someone who would really fight for me and always be there for me, this was the lawyer I wanted and needed. Boy was he right! From th...e first phone call. I could tell Dana was not the usual lawyer worried about fees and little about the case or the client. After a long and hard fought battle where Dana never gave up, I now have full custody of my 3 kids and a very ample support payment. Dana is smart, tough and fair. She always told me the best but prepared me for the worst which I really appreciated. She didn't blow smoke and she was more than fair with her billing. I have referred many friends to her and there has never been a compkaint. I dont know how she keeps it together when I lost it so many times, but if you have a tough divorce, call her!
