This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Biased and unprofessional

She has repeatedly appeared unprepared and unfamiliar with the case details. She has not followed through on important matters affecting my son and has shown a clear lack of impartiality, giving little consideration to the father’s perspective. Her conduct falls below the standards expected of minor’...s counsel under California Rule of Court 5.242.

Dawn is unprofessional and ghetto.

Dawn was very dismissive two information and had a file attitude. When I insisted she advocate for me to get my children because of false allegations.She did not speak up for me.And gotta attitude when I critiqued her about it, she began to screen on me. I attempted to fire her and I was told by anot...her attorney that she was friends with the judge.So the judge allowed me to get her off the case. She's the director of a panel of court-appointed attorneys. One of them were. Put on my case and I believe she told him to sabotize the case because he has not been submitting any evidence that I've asked him to submit?Nor does he meet up with me for strategy His name is Matthew Morrison. If you see dawn run the other way, she will sabotage your case.She's very unprofessional and ghetto.

Would Not Recommend This Attorney

This was my experience with Dawn Nicole McMahan: I found her communication unhelpful and felt she did not represent my interests effectively. This left me frustrated and unsupported. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend her services.

So Excited

I am so glad I got in contact with Dawn, she is both enlightening and encouraging. She will help you with your case from beginning to end, and explain to you every action. There's a reason why people shine bright in this field because there are genuine.
