Law Office of Dana L. White – Best Attorney for 2020 – Living Magazine
By Melissa Gautier
Dana White, lead attorney and owner of her private law practice, seeks to build long-lasting, trusted relationships. “Protecting What Matters Most” remains Dana’s principal motto. An integral ingredient for her success is the ability to be a good listener. Dana strives to provide every client with a personalized approach based on their unique needs.
Dana’s team assists clients in navigating the legal arena of family law, as well as mitigating emotional setbacks. Her easygoing nature provides comfort for families in crisis, enabling them to handle matters of deep discord with dignity and grace. Her goal is to be regarded by clients as a guiding source of strength throughout the process.
“Normally, clients are overwhelmed and concerned about what their lives will look like post-divorce,” Dana explains. “I am happy when a client’s original demeanor transforms following divorce, from slumped shoulders and sadness to posture held high with confident smiles and a hopeful outlook.”
Dana urges all to have an estate plan in the event of incapacitation or death. “Executing a will that allocates property and identifies beneficiaries is crucial to ensure things are handled in conformity with your wishes,” she explains. “Durable/medical powers of attorney, living trusts, and medical directives are equally important, especially during a pandemic when medical issues can suddenly become severe without warning.”
We know that you may be going through a difficult time. Our job is to ease that transition while constantly considering the best interests of you and your children.
Licensed in Texas and Washington state, Dana has practiced in Southlake since 2005, primarily in family law (custody, divorce, termination, adoption, and marital agreements).
