No Short Review Title Could Ever Describe All The Amazing Things She is. There is no one better, I'd bet the farm on it.
First, Ms. Tapper was instrumental in saving and restoring my life. I have thought long and hard on what I would say to those in need of a lawyer because I know from my own experiences that it means you're burdened with events in your life.

Review
My initial conversation yielded immediate trust. She spoke with my son and for the very first time he left feeling assured that everything would be handled. She immediately made me feel at ease.
"Dana puts her heart and soul into every case she has, and she treats her clients like family. Not a week goes by that I am not stopped by a another lawyer, bailiff, or court employee, and told what an excellent job she does. I'm proud to have her with this firm."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dana is a very passionate and qualified lawyer/advocate in matters related to juveniles. I highly recommend and endorse her for juvenile law."
"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. She gives each case her personal, focused attention and goes the extra mile to maximize case outcomes to benefit her clients. Sharp, successful and a straight shooter she is a good choice for criminal defense."
