This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

The best advocate

Anyone who has ever heard of Ms. Dahm will know her reputation as being among the very best criminal defense attorneys. Her reputation is not remotely exaggerated. I have consulted with her on countless matters, including while I was a federal prosecutor and sought her critical eye and creative adv...ocacy. I have observed her obtain not guilty verdicts for homicide and other violent crimes cases, where the evidence suggested she ought not have prevailed. She is exceptional.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
