Dahlia is knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to your case. She will fight for the results you want, and can be a pitbull in court. She will not allow you to be walked on by the opposing team. I have been with Dahlia since 2012/13 and she continues to protect me, my rights as a father, and my children. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

I hired Attorney Dahlia to handle my divorce. I cannot say enough good things about Dahlia and her team Dave, Vicky and Allison! She was completely honest with me at all times. Dahlia spoke to me respectfully and professionally she responded quickly to emails, texts, and phone calls. Her key strengths were her knowledge of the law and court guidelines, preparation of court exhibits and negotiation skills. I really can't say enough great things about Dahlia Bonzagni. Her knowledge and tenacity in the courtroom was beyond words. I am so thankful I contacted Dave and Dahlia. I know I can count on Dahlia Bonzagni and Dave Callahan. Thank you guys.

Dahlia, was very helpful in my divorce, and got me the best custody agreement she can. She was very helpful when I had to file contempt! She is very professional and was great working with her!!

Going through a major life change such as a divorce is so incredibly stressful in itself, and not knowing the legal process, or how the court system works adds to that stress tremendously. I’m so thankful that I had Dahlia Bonzagni as my attorney to guide me through this change. She handled my case with care, professionalism, and discretion. I recommend Dahlia to anyone going through family matters; she will provide the guidance and legal representation you need.

I was represented by Attorney Dahlia Bonzagni of Callahan, Barraco and Inman during most of my contested divorce. Attorney Bonzagni was always there for me during this contentious process. She answered EVERY question and I mean every question in a very timely manner! She always called me or texted me within a few hours whether it was early morning, evening or even twice one Saturday afternoon! At 5:00 most people leave work and put it aside until the next day, not Attorney Bonzagni! She drew up motions, letters, emails, and even worked on the separation agreement late after work. I received emails at 10:30 at night with completed motions or letters. If you are looking for an attorney who will represent you with integrity, sympathy, and FULL knowledge of family/probate law then hire Attorney Bonzagni. Also, the ENTIRE staff at Callahan, Barraco, and Inman were extremely responsive, efficient, and professional to work with! Allison is an angel to work with! Very professional and knowledgeable paralegal! Any and all family/probate legal matters I have in the future I have to make just one phone call and that is to Callahan, Barraco and Inman.

My case was very confusing and rare. Dahlia took the time to understand the issues that I was dealing with and truly fought for my daughter and what was in her best interest not just mine. In the midst of these cases we can sometimes lose sight of what we are trying to do and Dahlia helped me to stay focused and keep an eye on the end result and she would tell me what I needed to hear not what I wanted to hear. I trusted Dahlia and followed her lead. We have a peace in our lives that I never thought I would have again thanks to Dahlia!! I would highly recommend her again and again. A true Diamond!

Dahlia’s representation is beyond compare. I am a single father who had a very complicated custody case followed not long after with an even more complex parenting time case. I did not hesitate to seek her counsel a second time due to her fantastic work on the custody case where I received sole physical and legal custody of my children. Despite the extremely complex parenting time case, I felt calmly at ease knowing that my case was being handled as tactfully and professionally as possible. As I was awaiting the final judgement I was confident that no matter the outcome I had been represented as best as humanly possible and there was nothing that could have been handled with any more precision. Each step of the way Dahlia listened to my many concerns and responded with an authenticity that showed she was just as invested in the matter as I was. In the end, both judgements came back strongly in my favor. I can honestly say that my children are safe because of her. Thank you Dahlia!

I hired Attorney Dahlia Bonzagni after several consultations with other lawyers about my divorce case. Upon meeting her, she was very professional, but friendly, and sat down with me and actually took the time to listen to the details about my case before suggesting my options going toward. This assured me that she actually cared about my situation and helping me out, rather than just making money off of me. I hired her on the spot! Now, without getting into the personal details of my divorce, I'll admit that she was somehow, someway able to take what looked like a very bleak and dismal potential outcome for me, and turn it into what I feel like was the absolute best case scenario for me!!! And she made the whole nerve racking process quick and easy...she was amazing! I would definitely highly recommend Attorney Bonzagni to anyone who is unfortunately going through a divorce. She is clearly dedicated and passionate about her work and getting the best for her clients, for which I am eternally grateful! I highly recommend Attorney Bonzagni! Thanks, Dahlia!

She was an outstanding lawyer. I thought I could do it on my own and realize the process was a little difficult. So I hired Dahlia she was outstanding from the beginning very understanding with my situation. She talked me through what I needed to do what I had to do. She helped to resolve the issues quick fast and painless. The one great thing with her was that she always answered emails or text messages almost immediately. If I had any questions she was right there to answer. Thank you for all your help.
