Ms. Halbert was the lawyer assigned to my now-adopted, then foster daughter when she was in state dependency. Ms. Halbert was incredibly engaged and went out of her way to advocate for my daughter's wishes, including driving multiple hours to meet with her briefly, and pushing against DCYF when their wishes contrasted with that of my daughter. I would absolutely want her representing me, or any child, if I had the option to choose.

"Dana Halbert is a great attorney. You will find that she is smart, knowledgeable on the law and courtroom practice, a great negotiator for her clients, skilled in the courtroom, easy to work with for clients and opponents, and she gets her clients great results. I work with Dana and frequently seek her advice and perspective on complex issues I am dealing with in my own cases. I trust her judgment. Dana's advice is well reasoned and she has a comprehensive understanding of both the letter of the law and its application in the courtroom (which is sometimes different).
I strongly endorse Dana as an attorney."
