Nervous and inexperienced

Although she is nice and great interpersonal skills, she needs more experience in the court room. The judge was stopping Ms. Cullum and telling her how she was suppose to ask a question when she has witnesses in a trial. This happened many times during my restraining order. I felt I was in law school... and it was a mocked trial. It was absolutely terrible. If she doesn't know how to address witnesses or know how to ask questions in a court room I don't know how she represents clients.

Wonderful Experience

I was served with ex-parte paperwork for a modification in custody. Dawn listened to me attentively and I felt as though she empathized with me and really cared for my needs. She focused on what I was saying and made sure to address my concerns in the declaration response. The day in court was on...e I have never felt before. I walked in confident and relaxed. This was not my first rodeo in court and always dreaded the courtroom as I always felt emotional and alone. But not with Dawn, she really fought for me. That same day in court they denied the ex-parte. I feel it's also important that I mention that I previously had a lawyer who was helping me but felt it was time for a change since it had been since 2011 when I last had court. I am so happy to have found Dawn and have no regrets

A Breath Of Fresh Air!

​ We've all heard that a picture is worth a thousand words, so let me paint one for you: 
 Imagine for a moment, in the midst of everything in life that stresses you out, the major things, the minor things, the things you know shouldn't matter, you can't help but feel as though your life has becom...e a bit of a runaway train, no longer featuring you at the helm, in control, but charging ahead relentlessly, threatening to derail at a moment's notice. 
 Then the unthinkable happens...you get sued, or you find yourself having to sue another, dealing with divorce, child custody/support, legal separation, etc. That runaway train hasn't just derailed, it's fallen off a cliff! 
 I found myself in such a predicament, thinking I could handle it by myself, but finally resolving to trust a professional. I'm thankful I did. The endless hours spent trying to navigate family law could have been saved if I'd called sooner. 
 Working with Dawn Cullum was truly a blessing. I quickly found confident answers to questions that proved difficult, not only for myself, but also for other counsel I had already sought. 
 Personal interactions were just that, very personal and comfortable. She was incredibly patient and understanding, giving me her full attention at all times, never rushed or just waiting for her turn to speak. She really made me feel like my best interests were at heart. What a spectacular experience, and a relief to feel a lot more confident about my case. 
 Thank you Dawn! Should I ever find myself stuck on another set of train tracks, I know who to call!

Above and beyond

I had the pleasure of having Dawn represent me in multiple cases this past year. Her professional ethics, promptness, care, and concern exceeded my expectations in what I was looking for in a lawyer. She was thorough, precise, and most importantly listened to what I had to say. She has and continues ...to offer superior advice and guides me in my case with my best interest always in mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible, and focused lawyer who will ensure you be represented one hundred and fifty percent in all facets of your case.
