Success, The Best for our Journey.

Dawn is simply the Best when it comes to her Profession and knowing the Laws, how our system works and reading people. When I began working with Dawn she explained how everything would work and the plan for our Journey which helped me to relax and have that Trust that I knew I was in good hands. Daw...n knew the correct way to move on our situation without hesitation and was very through, precise and professional in how she handled all areas of my case. She told me we would have success and it came about very quickly considering how long these types of situations can take. My Daughter is a major part of my life now thanks to having Dawn represent me so If you need help and want success with your situation then work with the Best, Dawn Dell'Acqua.

Child Support/ Child Visitation

In the midst of a very stressful and traumatic situation, Dawn handled everything for me. This allowed me to continue on with my life without the constant thought of court draining me. She is as professional as can be, and I would recommend her to anyone in the same predicament.

A++ for Estate Planning and Trusts!

Attorney Dell'Acqua worked with our family to setup our family trust during a difficult and painful time. She was extremely knowledgeable on asset protection but more importantly she was compassionate and kind and offered personalized service you don't find very often. Highly Recommend!!

Reversed Paternity/ Judgement set aside for father

I was a father who was mislead that my five year old son was my biological son. Test results came back negative and the mother was receiving aid from the county. I was doomed and the county still came after me for child support. Dawn Delaqua and Ariel Barbre were my guardian angels. Not only did the...y reversed a declaration of paternity that I signed over the two year mark; my orders for child support orders were vacated along with reimbursement of my funds from my child's mother and my removal of my name from the birth certificate. It was divinely set for our victory and outcome. Dawn was never bias as my defender and had the mindset of expecting the worse but hoping for the best. I would recommend her attorney services to any fathers (or mothers) who need the best representation in Southern California. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Also I forgot to mention that they worked with me on my payment plan in regards to the retainer. Beyond my expectations
