Dana is amazing. She took me on as a client in the middle of a painful and difficult custody situation, one I had been dealing with for nearly a decade. After tenaciously pursuing numerous motions and negotiations, she was able to finalize a new custody agreement that made life easier and happier for both myself and my daughter. Dana is knowledgeable, compassionate, reasonable, and aggressive. She is not only an outstanding attorney, but more importantly a good person, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking quality resolution to their family case.

False allegations were made against me in a Peace Order. I was served late on a Friday night, the beginning of a long holiday weekend, with a court date scheduled for first thing the following Thursday morning. I was somewhat panicked to make contact with a lawyer asap, and did connect with one by Monday, but he ended up knowing the accuser's family and had to back out due to this conflict of interest. I reached out to Dana on Tuesday afternoon, less than two days before the scheduled court appearance, and with little time to prepare, she took care of me. She quickly and carefully pulled all of the relevant evidence together to understand my relationship with the accuser and build a solid defense case, separating facts from unsubstantiated fluff. Ultimately, Thursday morning, outside the courtroom, Dana was able to negotiate an agreement with the accuser's attorney to withdraw the Peace Order. This settlement saved my sanity -- and my reputation. Dana made it happen, displaying the highest levels of courtesy and professionalism along the way. She’s also simply a very kind person, so welcome when your life is suddenly in upheaval. I would recommend Dana to anyone needing competent and compassionate legal help.

I read all of Dana's previous reviews before starting on mine and I absolutely agree 100% on all other reviews. Dana is AWESOME in every way. She is personal, dedicated to your cause, hard working, seeks justice and enjoys a good battle. The positive traits of Dana are endless. She is more than fair and reasonable with her fees and services. But more importantly I felt that she really does care about me and the well being of my daughters. I unequivocally recommended Dana.

I am so glad I hired Dana. She is smart, tough and dedicated to success. Dana has been a tireless advocate for me; consistently giving great advice and a winning performance. After she won my case the Judge reviewed her bills, said they were all very reasonable and awarded me a judgment for the entire amount! I couldn't agree more, her fees were very reasonable and the legal services I received were superb. I highly recommend Dana.

A battle for Child Custody and Child Support, the mother of my kids has thrown heavy shade on me and has done the impossible to put boundaries between my kids and I. Dana Whitten has proven the court otherwise. She has shed light on my case and had gaven both the mother of the kids and I equal Custody.
