Dana did a seminar at my local library and I was impressed with her presentation so I called with a legal question regarding my existing estate plan. She was able to update and revise the plan while going above and beyond to make sure that I understood every step and was clear and comfortable with the revised documents. From my experience, Dana is a thorough, knowledgeable, personable, and a skilled attorney. I highly recommend her.
