Click to report rating    10/12/22   1     1     1     1     1   Terrible experience with her. She completely tore apart any chance of a relationship that I could have ever had with my daughter. I had an extreme case of parental alienation with my daughter mother. She had been putting things in my head about me he whole life. I found this in all of the texts they exchanged over the years. I had all of the documentation and proof to show her that this had been happening for years. She did not look over any of my documentation and took the words of a severely manipulated 15 year old girl. I wanted therapy so we could work through our issues and Dana insisted it was too late. She couldn't help our situation because my daughter was too old. she took 3-6 months to get back to us with her responses. Please for your family please do not use this women. I have lost everything because of her. I thought she was going to be the solution to help my family but that was not the case at all. RID: 262003
Click to report rating    7/8/20   1     1     1     1     1   Simply put, it is time for Dana to retire. She lacks attention to detail, she does not consider things in a thoughtful or purposeful manner and she does not apply reason. She operates in a manner that more closely resembles self-preservation as opposed to assisting in high-conflict decision making. She will not respond in a timely manner to anything, and when she does finally respond the disagreement will have met a boiling point and her decisions are snap-judgement's which are clearly made when overwhelmed by high-conflict communication. I realize in leaving this review there is a 50% chance of receiving negative attention in Dana's position. There will never be a time in high-conflict cases where there is 100% satisfaction and I took that into account before retaining her. Her overall reviews do adequately reflect her business practices. The value of her services are grossly disproportionate to her level of commitment to her position. Both myself and my co-parent have had issues. RID: 222568
Click to report rating    7/28/18   1     1     1     1     1   Did not help us at all! Was so unprepared that she had to look at the paperwork to say our ames right (Sarah and Don). When I asked her about an issue she changed the ruling on the spot in favor of my ex who said nothing. She wanted us to come back for another meeting so that she could write the order and then go over it with us. That is what THIS first meeting was to be. Avoid working with Dana if you can!!!

 9/12/16   2     1     2     1     1   I don't often take the time to write reviews of this nature. However, in this case, I feel it's very important to warn you about this mediator. Do not subject your family to this highly unprofessional person. She has poor communication skills, often acting highly emotional and immature. She interrupts and doesn't take time to follow any kind of mediation process. She takes in excess of 6 months to respond in many cases. She is not neutral and often rules on financial matters which she is not authorized to do. There a many helpful mediators but she is not one. RID: 174221
Click to report rating    7/20/15   1     1     1     1     1   I always feel that very bad ratings such as this are reactionary, but I've carefully considered every word. Dana has exhibited ridiculous behavior in my case ranging from self engrandizing and pompousness to childlike outbursts. Instead of listening and reviewing the information submitted to her, she just waits to talk. She does not read the information in front of her and is ridiculously slow to respond even after multiple requests for updates (SOMETIMES MONTHS LONG). I have been investigating malpractice options against her due to the issues that her failure to do her job has caused. This review is not intended to bash her as a person, just warn the reader/attorney/court to avoid at all costs. Your family life should not be put into her hands and she should NOT be listed as a neutral despite her efforts to capitalize on this niche. She seems to thrive off the power, but unwilling or unable to do the work. RID: 156948
