Dana is an outstanding attorney and a very caring individual. I feel very fortunate to have been represented by him and would certainly obtain his services in the future.
A very fine attorney; very personable, approachable, knowledgeable and authoritative. Helped me to navigate my personal case effectively and with confidence, and to assure that I was able to reach a fair and equitable result which was my interest.
Very honest and extremely capable with a strong work ethic and sense of fairness. Dana literally saved my daughter.
Mr. Carlson went beyond simply providing legal advise during the preparation of my separation agreement from my husband. He provided the utmost professional support through his strong beliefs.
Represented himself as being knowledgeable in areas of Military retirement, which was not true. Also, when he filed the motion for divorce against my ex-wife, he never had her served, causing more delays in my case, and in turn, causing my fees and billable hours to continue to increase. Mr. Carlson also failed to file motion to stop my ex wife from moving with children out of the area without giving proper notice. Mr. Carlson and staff failed to ever address these concerns.
