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.

The Best Custody Lawyer in L.A.!!!

I can't say enough about this lady. Compassionate but aggressive like a mama bear protecting her young. Skilled, smart, sassy. I've never been a fan of lawyers, but now I am a follower of this woman. I will go to her for ANY legal problem I ever have be it with my children, my company, my friends. I ...recommend her without reservation. Let me tell you that when you are going through a divorce, you want to know SOMEONE can be trusted. Ms. Urick is that person. Don't fall for the talk other lawyers may give you - she tells it straight and has your back always. Thank you Thank you Thank you Dana Urick for all you have done for me and my family.

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!
