5/5 stars. I'm happy to say that Dana Whitehead McKee achieved full success in the matter for me. I felt that she really took the matter in hand, sized up what was needed, and made it happen. I liked how her mind worked to come up with a good approach, and I also liked that she was diligent and stayed on top of the details and followed through. Also I appreciated her style of communicating to me, clear and succinct, practical and focused. She did a great job for me. Thanks Dana!

It Is with great pleasure and honor that I write this review and without reservation recommend Dana McKee. I sought out Dana’s counsel following a failed attempt of resolving my marital problems through mediation leaving me confused, frustrated, and unsure of where to go next. Dana quickly and professionally reviewed my case and help devise a plan of action in moving forward. Throughout my dealings with Dana I found her very firm, upfront, honest, and hardworking on my case. Dana always made time for my numerous questions both from me and my mother at various different times throughout the process. I always felt like I had someone who had my best interests in mind in all of Dana’s dealings with my case. It was a true pleasure to work with her and do not shy away from recommending her to anyone who has family law issues. Thank you very much for all you have done for me and my family, Dana

I could tell from the outset that Dana is a very experienced and knowledgeable attorney. My case is high conflict and involves child custody which makes it easy for emotions to get carried away. Dana has been incredible in her ability to keep the big-picture in perspective so that the most important priorities(my kids) stay in the focus. It has been a great source of comfort knowing that I am in such good hands.
