Great customer service and very knowledgeable of the family court/law

Dana was very knowledgeable and patient in listening to both of my support and custody cases; she had explained her background; IE; law experience, many years of education, her customer service background and her abilities in helping her clients. She also, has gave me great advises, she explained wha...t the process was in step by step; she made me feel comfortable and I felt relief when I heard of her skills, abilities and more with both of my cases; she was prompted with her responses when I asked her questions, she had the tools, knowledge and skills to help me prepare my cases, evidence, made time to prep me for my hearings, court date and I was most comfortable afterwards. Both of my cases were at a less burden on me after I got the great services from Dana. I would recommend her to any friend or family member for her family law services. Thank you, ms

Excellent - Great Help!

I know Dana for almost 4 years and just recently I sought help from her in terms of my sister's case. She was such a huge help in helping us navigate the legal process as both me and my sister are so new to the U.S. that we didn't know anything at all about how to work with the legal system in a for...eign country to us. She was very descriptive, explained all of our options in hand, and helped us made the right decisions. She went above and beyond in terms of making sure to provide the best service! Very reliable!

Hard situation made easy

By the mercy of God, I was introduced to Dana while in the midst of a VERY stressful situation. This introduction was during an event where many people were attending. In spite of all the distractions, I immediately felt very comfortable with her. We set an appointment and during this meeting her kn...owledge of the issue came through. We walked through the paperwork and the entire process. Over the next few months she was extremely professional, helpful, thorough, and due to her efforts this difficult situation became easy. I would recommend her to both friends and family.

Ms. Botello helped me win full legal and physical custody of my two sons

Hi my name is Jose. Ms. Botello has help me greatly, She has transformed my life and the life of my sons when it seemed everything was against me. Before I hired Ms. Botello I was fighting custody of my two sons for six years. I hired an attorney but he was too expensive, it seem as he was draining m...e for what little money I had. I then decided to fight custody without hiring an attorney. however I was only granted 50/50 custody. I was really unhappy because I knew that I should have been granted full legal and physical custody. I knew the judge order was due to the fact that I was unfamiliar with law and because i did not know how to represent my case. A neighbor referred me to Ms. Botello. She told me she was a really good attorney and when I met her I knew she would put her heart and soul into my case. I knew she was willing to take my case not to make a buck but because after reviewing my case she wanted to put my sons in a safe home and give them a brighter future. I was still unsure if she would take my case because the opposite party were involve with drugs and gangs ( one of them was even caught with a handgun a few months before I hired her). when I met her she seem really nice and loving, however when she was interrogating the opposite party she did not let that intimidate her; she was BOLD, PRECISE AND STRATEGIC. another thing that I loved about Ms. Botello was that she always explained to me the different outcomes that could happen with my case ( she wasn't blowing smoke up my face). When I needed to get a hold of her she always returned my phone calls no later than 24 hours; this greatly decreased my stress. I'm sure you guys know how good it feels to receive a return call from your attorney after you have a million things going through your mind regarding the case. During this time I was working and going to school; she also always made arrangements to meet me, even when I knew it was really inconvenient for her. Dana also did an excellent job in gathering up evidence for my case and presenting to the judge. Because of her hard work and dedication I was granted FULL LEGAL AND PHYSICAL CUSTODY OF BOTH OF MY SONS! Danna Botello has done so much for me and I will forever be greatful to her. She has been a huge blessing in my life and her hard work will forever impact the lives of my two sons who are now in a safe home, are going to a really good school, and are surrounded by positive people. Thank you Ms. Botello for all your hard work! Danna, we love you and we will always be thankful for all your help. Thank you for bringing peace into my life again and for taking my case despite my circumstances.
