Fierce Litigator!

Attorney Jones was a beacon of hope for me during a very rough time in my life. She navigated my case with professionalism, patience, and strong knowledge of the law. Though my case extended well past the time we anticipated (due to COVID) She remained poised and always stayed focused on our end goal.... If there were ever a time I needed help, she made time outside of her work hours to meet my needs. She made sure I made sound decisions in the process and was precise and clear when I needed to refocus. I would recommend Attorney Jones to anyone because she's as a fierce litigator, she's devoted to her clients, and she gets the job done! If you are looking for a lawyer who is honest, knowledgeable, and who will fight to the end of the earth for you, choose Attorney Jones! You will never regret it!!

Valued Attorney!!

Attorney Jones has been with me for over 10 years and guided my family with numerous legal needs. I am weary of the anonymous responses about her ethical behavior and overall knowledge of the law. She is an honest attorney and doesn’t sugar coat the truth. Many can’t accept the truth that she gives b...ut that doesn’t make it less true. If you need honest legal help and want an honest rate for that service chose her! Not only did she charge me appropriately but was willing to work with us and always gave us updates on what the charges were used for.

Would not recommend to anyone

Not a good attorney at all. She was wrong in her legal opinion. When I challenged her, her answer was "I have three degrees". But we later found out that she was completely wrong. She seemed to be very unorganized. She does not keep her appointments (happened multiple times). I agree with the other ...reviews that she always seems to be on vacation. Her treatment of you before and after payment was totally different. I found her chuckling with her paralegal (while kicking her leg under the table), when I was trying to explain the suffering I went through. She charged a fortune and did not get the job done. She took the money and filed a withdrawal when I asked for a refund. She didn't do any work but her bill had inflated numbers of hours which I know she never worked on based on how little she accomplished. Would not recommend to anyone. I could not give less than 1 star.

Thank you for your comment. It is unfortunate that this comment was provided anonymously. I personally welcome the opportunity to address your concerns with the proper professional context and response. If you have in fact been a client of this firm, please feel free to contact me directly for an off-line discussion, as many of my clients are aware of my ability to handle matters both "directly" and "professionally" . Also, my clients are aware that I do not use the services of a paralegal as I am personally "hands-on". I will contact AVVO to determine any possible "identifiers"/source of this comment to expedite a resolution. Kindest Personal Regards.

Attorney Jones is knowledgeable, comprehensive, strategic, one step ahead, and a legal advocate who cares, who will keep you informed, who will fight for you, and be the voice you need to represent vs the opposing party and their attorney. My needs were put first and I was treated as a friend rathe...r than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Attorney Jones continues to fight hard for me and my 3 children. She has went above and beyond - from unexpectedly driving to Georgia for a bankruptcy court hearing that we were not invited to. Ensuring I was represented and acknowledged resulting in the dismissal and saved me and my 3 children from the unknown. To holding the defendant accountable to agreements and not compromising. I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable and credited attorney. I just wished I asked 5years ago!. Thank you! I may not be the ‘most profitable client’ of yours, but I will confidently tell you this… I am your ‘most grateful client’ and that comes from my heart. I want to thank you for the crucial and priceless information/advice you have given me regarding taking my power back!

Platinum standard

The first quality you need to be a good attorney, is to first be a good human being Attorney Jones is that and so much more she is knowledgeable ,professional hard-working,compassionate kind ,honest she knows how to get things done . She was there for me from the moment I walked into her office and ...long after I left the court. She went above and beyond the call of duty for me there were times when I would go into a panic about one thing or another and with her calm and reassuring voice would talk me down from the ceiling and let me know that we were in it together and she would help me through it. She gave me her honest opinion and her guidance ,when I needed it. It was always right on point and in tune with what was most beneficial for me at the time. Attorney Jones is a champion for her clients the first day I met her I told her I was new to the area and I didn't know many people she said well, now ,you know me. I want to thank you from my heart for all your help. Ms. DANA G. JONES!!!
