A member of the Utah State Bar since 1987, she has spent decades honing her skills in a field that requires both legal acumen and emotional intelligence. Her firm focuses primarily on divorce cases, but she also handles a variety of family law matters, including child custody and support issues. The office, conveniently located in the heart of Orem, is accessible to clients throughout Utah County, ensuring that those in need of legal assistance can reach her easily. Dana earned her Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Brigham Young University in 1986, a prestigious institution known for its rigorous legal program.

Her clients appreciate her ability to navigate these sensitive situations with care and professionalism.

Before establishing her own practice, Dana clerked for a year, gaining inexperience in the legal field. This role allowed her to observe court proceedings closely and understand the details of family law from a judicial perspective.
