Testimonials

“I have never felt so protected and properly advised. Dana is not just a lawyer who goes above and beyond in a courtroom. She truly cares about her clients and their future. I would never want to enter a courtroom without her there. I have become a better father and person since working with Dana as she is always a voice of reason, comfort and care.”

“Dana Navins was highly recommended to me by another women who worked with her on her divorce. Her recommendation was not misplaced. Dana is not only knowledgeable and incredibly thorough, she knows the law and how to protect her clients from unscrupulous opponents. She is adept at guiding you through the system, which can be daunting, and explaining every step of the way what to expect. Dana never made me feel like I was just another case. She worked so hard, for years, to get what was right and fair for my children and me. She checked in with me often to make sure I was doing ok, and that I had what I needed. Dana is tough, incredibly tenacious, knowledgeable, and doesn't back down. All of those qualities were very much needed in my case, and I was so grateful that she was on my side, not on the other side! I don't know where I would be today if I hadn't had her fighting for me. I would highly recommend Dana to anyone looking for a divorce attorney. “

“Dana did an amazing job throughout the entirety of my divorce, giving sound advice and also managing my expectations. I was able to attain an optimal outcome in my negotiations while also keeping my legal expense bill to a very reasonable dollar amount. Dana exceeded my expectations to such a degree that I have already recommended her to a friend of mine and will continue to do so.”

“My divorce was not a simple transaction. It was a saga spanning many years, courts, and opposing counsel. In my case, the granting of the divorce settlement was just the beginning. I was referred to Dana Navins by a lawyer friend when my original lawyer declared he had enough in year two. I was told that Dana is one of the best divorce lawyers in Westchester and that she will be a thoughtful, strong, and strategic advocate. Its true; hiring Dana was the very best decision I made for myself, my kids, and my sanity.  

The court had characterized our case as "very high conflict."  Through Dana's counsel, I was able to remain clear-headed, logical, and tough even though it felt like the world was falling beneath me. Dana always put my children and me first; and helped me navigate and appreciate two brutal psychological evaluations that my kids, nanny, other loved ones, and I were required to endure. She had keen familiarity with the several opposing counsels who appeared on our case. When a venue change became the next stage of the battle, Dana demonstrated acute agility in the workings and protocols of Westchester's two family court systems. She is brilliant at trial. I was continually in awe of the level of strategic thinking she applied to each stage of our case. And, I cannot begin to guess at the many pitfalls we avoided due to her foresight.  

Because of Dana, I prevailed on all counts. Unfortunately, our court system is not designed to make any of this easy on either party, and an ex with deep pockets and an endless stream of complaints requires sacrifices. While my sacrifice was time-spent, Dana ensured that it was never going be my children or my self-worth.  

I cannot provide a stronger recommendation for a divorce lawyer.
I have seen several "top" Westchester divorce counsel in action, Dana practices with a level of integrity, skill, and compassion that is rare to find. Dana will continue to be my counsel, and I will always be available to speak with anyone for a personal reference.”
