Should be ashamed. The most high will make it right!

Thank you so much, Dynah for all your help during my divorce process. You were extremely helpful and helped me every step of the way. The outcome was much better than I could’ve expected. I am so glad that you were recommended to me by by a friend.

She is awesome very organized and kind efficient definitely would use her legal services again if needed .

Dynah and the team at Artisan were able to navigate a quite tricky legal matter for my family. Would recommend Artisan!

Save your money she drags it out and won’t submit evidence See a few reviews here of dissatisfaction Six years to grieve in the state of MI She was very aware of all educational issues w ex wife’s position, hence certain clauses in the decree, as much email and phone can show and will be saved until child’s 18 bday

If you want your case handled by a professional, look elsewhere. Dynah does not communicate well, at all. If you have a time sensitive case, good luck. With numerous attempts to reach her, calls and texts get ignored, and there is always an excuse as to why she does not do her job. We wasted our retainer and our time on Dynah and Artisan Legal. One star is too many.

I had a deeply unsatisfactory experience with Dynah as my lawyer. 1. She didn't even know my child's name and submitted legal papers with another family's names on them with 3 children, when I only have 1. She attached terms and conditions in my judgment that were made for a family of 5 going through a divorce, and I was never married to the other parent and did not have any shared assets. 2. Despite our contract never mentioning it (I've read all the papers I've signed 3 times over), she kept the credit on my account for herself and did not give me back the extra funds on my account. 3. When the case started, I wasn’t in the best financial position, but still dropped a few thousand to hire who I thought would be great. During child support discussions, Dynah said to me "He (the other party) said he wasn't going to pay you any child support. Since you're running out of money, I suggest you just sign the papers." I ended up signing the papers 2 hours after that call and received only $90 a month in child support, while paying $800 a month for child care, with the support including $0 for child care. When childcare costs increased to $1300 a month, I filed a motion to change support by myself, resulting in an order for the other party to pay $683 a month. Over the span of three years, I paid 39k for childcare, while the other party paid less than 3 thousand dollars. Again… I paid 39k for daycare, and the other party paid zero in childcare expenses. Dynah did nothing for me. 4. The parenting judgment is even worse. Noncustodial parent had zero overnights with our kid, and Dynah included in the judgement that they could claim her in odd years, and I even years. Those daycare credits and dependent credits? Dynah let him have it all, even though federal law says otherwise. How do you even drop the ball on a case like this? It was so simple. 5. The parenting judgement? “The Wayne County Circuit Court Co-Parenting Plan shall be used in this case.” …My case was in Oakland County. 6. The other party is someone who is always on the move. Why did she think he’d be able to get our kid every week on a weekday, and decide to include that in the judgement?.. Dynah probably thought it didn’t matter considering “he doesn’t have to see her, this just says when he can” These reasons among many others just goes to show how she doesn’t care and how I ended up with a horrible judgment. Let me be very clear here - I’ve never been one to withhold my daughter from seeing her other parent or their family - I want them to see her. My kid has a great relationship with them and even when he goes months without seeing her, I support her and do fine just by myself. My daughter’s paternal grandmother was deployed overseas, and I still make sure they FaceTime uninterrupted. So this isn’t one of those “bitter moms” stories (I’m the one providing the bulk of the support in our order).. this is me finally realizing 3 years after my case that Dynah royally screwed me over. Not that it matters, but Dynah may as well have been working for the other party. Seeing the other honest reviews for Dynah gave me the courage and motivation to speak up. Most of her reviewers have only one review on their profile, and that's a 5-star review for Dynah. When it comes to this lawyer, do yourself a favor and do not just walk away, run away. And do that as fast as you can. Responding to the response and being done - "Parenting time and tax exemptions are negotiated terms in every divorce with children proceeding." See how she says this when not only was I never married, but I also mentioned it above that I was never married? I'll say it again - This was not a divorce. "Clients always have an active role in developing the offer for settlement." Then why wasn't I included on the call with the other party and attorney when you all decided to not give me child support? "Clients must also accept the terms with signature before submitting them to court." I said this. I did sign. I also said why and what was said to me by Dynah above. Don't recommend.

***SCAMMER ALERT*** Stay as FAR away from this walrus as possible. I had an iron case with proof of adultery AND a court notarized pre-nup and she STILL managed to lose everything. She has no idea what she is doing. REFUSED to submit evidence, didn't tell me of rescheduled court dates which made me lose hours at work, and rejected to tell me of my appeal rights after she lost horrible. She did as little as possible for my case but boy she knew how to pick up a phone to call to collect fees! ***SCAMMER ALERT***

My daughter hired Dynah with a referral from a program called Marble. She showed little to no effort or interest in the case. I'm not sure if she is typically a bad attorney, but in this case, it was a huge waste of money. I'm not sure why she even took the case. But $6000 later (Marble did get a portion), my daughter and myself, stand furmly on the opinion that hiring Dynah was a mistake. It isn't so much about if she lost or won, but that Dynah literally did not even try.

Dynah Dunkin-White has the smarts when it comes to the court system. I highly recommend her. She will help you and listen to her, trust me, she has great advice. Top notch lawyer.

Everything seemed to be ok until the end when it was time to sign the papers. The divorce was worked out between a moderator and the finances were set. I did not push too hard, over some unreasonable expectations with parenting time because in the end I thought it would come to where I expected it. Dynah also sat back and let it all happen and kept assuring me that being calm and patient was the way to go. Dynah allowed the opposing attorney write up the final decree and certain words were left out or left vague. In the end even after a questioned her about the vagueness or left out specifics, Dynah assured me that what was discussed during mediation would stand even if it was not in the final decree. This is not the case. The final decree signed by all parties and the judge is all that counts. Do not leave anything to be interpreted it must all be clear, direct, and to the point. I am now representing myself and begging FOC to adjust and add parenting time. When it comes to your kids, be suspicious, read every letter, and hire an attorney the can read through the bull a see what is really going on. Dynah is over booked and lacks the aggressiveness needed to give her clients what they deserve. You are going to need a pit bull in the court and Dynah is not this person.

She was awesome and helped me out more than anyone before. Definitely recommend
