About Dana M.
Dana M. Cannon earned her Juris Doctor from William Howard Taft University in 2005. She completed her legal studies after entering law school in the early 2000s and moved to California to pursue a practice there. Her academic background grounded her in core areas of law and prepared her for practice in the state courts.
She began practicing law in California and later established her own firm. In 2020 she became the lawyer-owner of Cannon Legal Firm. That move put her at the center of a small, locally focused practice. Colleagues describe her approach as steady and pragmatic. Clients see a lawyer who prefers clear explanations over legalese and who lays out options plainly.
Cannon has maintained ties to the local legal community. She holds membership in the Long Beach Bar Association and serves as a volunteer settlement officer for the Los Angeles Superior Court’s Probate Pro Bono Settlement program. Those roles have kept her engaged with court procedures and with volunteer work that assists parties in probate settlements. She also lists other professional memberships.
Her work reflects that court involvement. She has handled probate-related matters in pro bono settings and in her private practice. Records show she has taken on settlement work in the probate context through the LASC program. That experience intersects with estate planning, trust administration, and probate administration in everyday practice for small-firm lawyers in the region.
As owner of Cannon Legal Firm, Cannon runs the office while taking client-facing work. She manages filings, client conferences, and courtroom appearances when required. The firm operates from a local office and focuses on serving individuals and families. She balances casework with administrative duties that come with running a law practice.
Clients and peers note her steady presence in local bar activities and in court volunteer programs. She continues to participate in probate settlement work and local bar events. Her practice in 2026 remains at Cannon Legal Firm, where she handles probate and related estate matters and provides representation for clients in those areas.
