This is a good lawyer. I hired him for a relative and while the outcome could easily have been "more difficult", Dana fought for him and the prosecution relented. Not easy to get to know but, having been, by his own testimony, a presecutor and likes a good fight, he "knows his way around". Thank-you Dana

I have never regretted anything more than hiring Carlson. Seems to either have low comprehension or is simply manipulative for his own financial gain. Simple questions like, "could you clarify this charge on my bill or, why haven't you included an exchange rate in support" were met with long blank stares and attempts to change the topic. Drones on about nothing. Seems disinterested (or incompetent - hard to tell if it's an act). Doesn't appear to have a firm grasp on law. Could side with opposing council (like he did with me). Won't answer email. Made an absolute mess of my case.

Stereotypical bottom feeder divorce attorney – don’t use if you have kids. He is the kind of lawyer that views children as possessions to be gained or lost in an argument

This attorney was very eager to reccomend mediation, which in itself looked good, however, after opposing counsel refused the idea, he was very slow with the litigation process. As a matter of fact, never served the divorce petition after it was filed in the court. Follow through on important issues like that caused my fees to rise. He also represented himself as being knowlegeable in military retirement issues, however, upon study done on my part, he was wrong on issues of retirement pay and maintenance of insurance.

I don't normally take the time to do ratings but my brief opportunity to work with Dana was worth mentioning. He was compassionate and actually spent twice the alloted amount of time we set aside. His recommendation to work through a qualified mediator was a perfect solution for my problem and resulted in quick and painless resolution in my family law matter. The fact that he offered an inexpensive and effective solution outside of going to court was something I didn't expect and certainly do appreciate.
