I'm a litigator with many years experience in both State and Federal Courts throughout California. Whether I am representing a defendant, a City, or a Plaintiff in a case, I approach every case with a dedication to being thorough. If the case is strong or weak, I will let you know. We are a team and should work as such. I am proud that many of my clients remain friends long after a case is over.

Extraordinary lawyer
Dawn is an amazing lawyer. She's organized, ethical, sharp as as knife , and knows the laws backward and forward from both sides of personal injury lawsuits. She was, from the first day when I contacted her, a downright pleasure to work with. She always got back to me via email, usually within 15 min...
"I have worked with numerous attorneys, but Ms. Ceizler stands alone as the one attorney I most prefer to work with, both on a professional and personal level. She not only has a thorough understanding of what the law is, but just as important, she has the skill and savvy to navigate the judicial system to obtain fantastic results. Her legal advice and instincts are solid and predictable. And while too many lawyers these days practice with questionable ethics, both toward opponents and their own clients, Ms. Ceizler is consistently and impeccably honest; she wins by working hard and smart, not by playing dirty. She is genuine, personable, friendly, down to earth, and ethical. Bottom line, if I need a lawyer, I would not only want her on my side, she’d be the first I’d want on my side. Just one caution: if you have dogs – or even if you just like dogs – prepare to discuss their antics with her in detail."
"Dawn is one of the most talented, incredible, thoughtful, and effective advocates that I have had the pleasure of knowing. Dawn is extremely bright -- she picks up on issues incredibly fast and has a terrific talent for figuring out complicated issues. Dawn is honest. She does not false bill her clients, she is upfront, doesn't lie to get a case and has the highest integrity for what she does. Dawn is a fierce advocate. I would not want to be on the opposite side of Dawn! She is fearless in representing her clients and is not easily intimated. She would be my "call from jail" (note, though, she doesn't practice criminal law!). Dawn is a team player. Even though I would not want to be on the opposite side of a case with her, she does not try to pull some of the shenanigans that attorneys often do just to over-bill or create friction. Although she is a fierce advocate, she doesn't engage in tactics that are sharp, dishonest or disrespectful to others"
"Ms. Ceizler is an exceptionally bright lawyer, who offers clients a rare and valuable blend of rational business judgment and zealous advocacy. A creative thinker, she always gets straight to the point, and brings her many resources to bear in finding the quickest, most cost effective resolution to any dispute. Add to the mix her everpresent sense of humor, and any client would find her to be a joy to work with."
