We owe the BIGGEST THANK YOU to our clients! Here's what a few of them had to say about Dana and her office:

"I could not have asked for better representation. Dana and her staff are thorough, honest, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. From our first interaction until we won our judgement, I always felt confident in Dana’s ability to handle my case with the best care. She has built an amazing team and they are individually and collectively great at what they do." - Kayla J.

"Dana made a very difficult time so much easier. What a hard worker! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to help me through the process...a complicated one, at that.... involving overseas interactions. She was very thorough and prepared me very well for the Court date. Her staff kept me well-informed of the details of the case, responding to my calls and emails and guiding me through all of the necessary steps. I'm so grateful she was in my corner!!" - Amanda H.

"I’ve used Dana more than once and always got the service I wanted/needed. Truly cares about the children before anything else. Highly recommend" - Josh E.

"Dana and her team made everything easy for me and her staff is friendly….she’s a go getter!" - Melanie M.

"What makes Dana the best for my case?"

We are glad you asked! Here's a little bit about her:

Dana received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2003. After serving the South Mississippi community for years as an EMT-Paramedic, she attended Mississippi College School of Law and was awarded the degree Doctor of Jurisprudence in 2013.

After briefly delving into different areas of the law after law school, Dana quickly realized her passion was helping families - especially children. Dana has focused her legal career on helping children and families for over a decade, working extensively as guardian ad litem in both youth court and chancery court, as well as representing individuals in various child-related cases, most commonly in divorces and custody litigation.

Dana is also proud to be an active member of her community. She was one of the founding members of the Board of Directors of Cherished Hearts Children's Advocacy Center in Jones County, which opened its doors in 2024, and remains active with the board. She also had the privilege of serving on the 2023 Taskforce on Foster Care and Adoption and Other Related Matters, which provided recommendations to the state legislature about possible improvements in the law to assist children in various ways. 

Dana uses her knowledge and experience as a mother, former paramedic, and community advocate to assist children and families during some of the most challenging times they face. She is sure to treat you with the advocacy, compassion, and professionalism you need.

National Relaxation Day is celebrated annually on August 15th to encourage people to slow down, disconnect from work, and reduce stress. It was created in 1985 by Sean Moeller, a nine-year-old fourth-grader from Michigan.

Core Rule: Avoid tasks of real value, such as heavy cleaning or hard work, and focus entirely on mental and physical well-being.

Simple Ways to Unwind: Digital Detox. Turn off phones, close computers, and stay away from social media.

Quiet Hobbies: Read a favorite book, listen to calm music, or watch a funny movie.

Gentle Movement: Take a slow walk in nature, have a picnic in the park, or lounge in a hammock.

Mindfulness: Practice deep breathing, meditation, or take a long warm bath.

What is your favorite way to relax?

Wednesday's Weird Law Edition:

Did you know that in Temperance, Mississippi, you can’t walk a dog without dressing it in diapers?

Imagine all of those pups from Chihuahuas up to Great Danes, all in diapers!

Do you know what Mom's office has that no other office does?
An official greeter and welcoming committee!

The price to enter our office is a mere two belly rubs, and your entrance will be permitted. Stuffed chickens are also acceptable. For the low price of 3 Cheerios, I will help you fill out your paperwork.

-Love, Cooper.
