Dana Urick helped us with a custody battle with my ex-wife, and she made sure our rights were protected. A friend of my wife's recommended her, and we are glad we went with her because she really does know the law and we saw in the results that she understands what she is doing. We are writing this review in support because she is smart, detailed, interested in her clients and she really works for your case. We will also recommend her in the future to other friends if anyone needs a great family law attorney.

Dana Urick was my divorce attorney for six years. I know that this is an unusually long time, but that is what happens with a complicated divorce. Dana was wonderful to work with. She was caring, smart, dedicated, and honest. She was also very articulate and driven to get a divorce agreement that would suit my children and me. At the time of my separation, I was a stay at home mom and had stopped working for seven years. Dana encouraged me to go back to school and get a master's degree, which I am grateful for. Dana is very approachable and easy to talk with, yet she is fierce in the court room. She was actually the second lawyer that I hired to work on my case, after the first lawyer cost me a lot of money and did not help much. I have remained in contact with Dana and consider her a friend now. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a family law attorney.

Dana Urick Awesome amazing attorney What a great experience! Refreshing to talk to someone who is so informative and down to earth. She is very smart and super personable. Most importantly, she cares and gets results, I would recommend her to family and friends in crisis needing direction and legal guidance. "

Ms. Urick was my 2nd lawyer. I had lost all faith because my first lawyer just kept taking my savings, but nothing ever seemed to get done. I attended a Divorce group at my church, and my friend suggested that I call Ms. Urick. The first time I talked to her on the phone, she was kind and patient. When I decided to meet with her, she patted me on the hand when I broke down and really gave me the impression that she cared and we would be a team. 6 months later, she attended my son's graduation from Pre-School and helped me finalize my 10 year marriage. I really feel that she was my Guardian Angel, and did not treat me like I was just another client like my first lawyer did. She returned all my calls, even on weekends or when I just needed some reassurance. I appreciated her always contacting me to tell me that our hours were getting up there, and I needed to put money aside to continue to fund my divorce. Divorces are not cheap people! BUT neither is a good lawyer! I think you get what you pay for.... and in her case I would rather have paid her fees for 2 years than my other loser lawyer who did nothing! and never returned my calls. or always had excuses.

I can't say enough about this lady. Compassionate but aggressive like a mama bear protecting her young. Skilled, smart, sassy. I've never been a fan of lawyers, but now I am a follower of this woman. I will go to her for ANY legal problem I ever have be it with my children, my company, my friends. I recommend her without reservation. Let me tell you that when you are going through a divorce, you want to know SOMEONE can be trusted. Ms. Urick is that person. Don't fall for the talk other lawyers may give you - she tells it straight and has your back always. Thank you Thank you Thank you Dana Urick for all you have done for me and my family.

Three years of divorce hell. A custody battle that I thought would never end. A husband who tried every dirty trick in the book. Ms.Urick always looked out for me and explained everything. I wish she had been my first lawyer and not my forth. Really nice person and so good with my kids. Even sent them birthday cardfs. I cant say enough nice things about this lawyer. I have told all my friends.

I have been going through a messy divorce for the past 5 years. My wife and I are both professionals with our own businesses, a lot of property, four children and countless other issues. What should have been a long overdue, amicable split became an all out war. Dana was my third attorney. When I first hired a lawyer, all my colleagues impressed on me the need to have a big firm name behind me. With that came the big firm bills and the significant lack of personal contact. This is not to say Dana doesn't cost a pretty penny. But with over two decades of experience under her hat, and an uncanny ability to know just when I was feeling weak or defeated, I didn't seem to mind her bills as much of those of my prior overinflated counsel with equally overinflated egos. I'll be straight that I had some reservations. Dana is sharp, but she also has a fantastic sense of humor. Her wit can rival some of the best comedians I know. Even so, she can be intensely serious when she has to be, and when her client needs to see the bright light of day - which I admit, I needed all too often. The friend that referred me told me that Dana is someone who was unlike any other attorney he had ever worked with ( and this guy works with attorneys every day in his profession). I would have to agree. When I look at ths history of my marriage and my divorce, I am right where I should have been even though like many, I would like to still have all my finances and all my property in my corner. The result Dana obtained was more than fair given the circumstances. I only wish I had come to her first and saved myself about two years. I also want to say that Dana went out of her way to be accessible to me even on weekends and evenings since it is hard for me to always deal with personal matters during the work day. No such experience with the big names. Here is what I learned. There is a reason why she isn't in Beverly Hills or in the media though she certainly could be with her skills. That is not her style. She truly cares about the people she represents. My kids drew pictures for her that she taped to her wall. She held my hand through some of my darkest moments. After all is said and done, the greatest recommendation I can give her is that aside from being a sharp, skilled and astute litigator, she is a truly warm and caring lady. That combination is a rarity in the legal profession.

Hideous divorce. I thought I would fall apart, Dana kept me and our case going and together. Even when I wanted to throw in the towel because it was all just too too much, her explanations and straight talk made me realize I had to continue on the path. And her advice was so genuine and well thought. We didnt win every battle because you just cant in divorce, but we won the war. I am so much happier now and it was worth every penny. Dont sit on the fence. Hire Dana and reclaim your life!

I've had to deal with a lot of attorneys as a small businessman. Few are as Smart as Ms. Urick. She also has a big heart and always had a movie for my son to watch while we went over my documents. This lady is a gem in the big pool of Los Angeles sharks. I recommend her without reservation. You get what you pay for.

I had a messy custody case with my ex that had been handled by a pricey, big firm. I was not getting any results. A friend recommended Dana and told me that if I wanted someone who would really fight for me and always be there for me, this was the lawyer I wanted and needed. Boy was he right! From the first phone call. I could tell Dana was not the usual lawyer worried about fees and little about the case or the client. After a long and hard fought battle where Dana never gave up, I now have full custody of my 3 kids and a very ample support payment. Dana is smart, tough and fair. She always told me the best but prepared me for the worst which I really appreciated. She didn't blow smoke and she was more than fair with her billing. I have referred many friends to her and there has never been a compkaint. I dont know how she keeps it together when I lost it so many times, but if you have a tough divorce, call her!
