"Dana is an excellent family lawyer and mediator. I have known her professionally for nearly 18 years. During that time she has consistently impressed me with her integrity, intelligence, and passion for what she does. She has a talent for quickly narrowing a case down to its most critical issues, and motivating all parties to quickly resolve the same without the need for protracted litigation. Not only would I trust Dana to advise me on any personal family law matter, but I would trust her to take care of my most valued clients and friends."
