Dawn did a great job. I felt like she had my best interest at heart and protected me at every step and turn during my divorce. I highly recommend her as a lawyer for family law.

Dawn and her team (Ariel and Katie) were so helpful through a process that is, by nature, incredibly difficult. Other than one slight miscommunication, I never felt like I was left in the dark. They took care of everything and I didn't even have to go to court. They make this process a lot easier. And Dawn is incredibly kind and personable.

Making decisions about what will happen when you pass is very confusing and at times stressful. Ms. Dell'Acqua made the process stress-free. She is professional, caring and thorough. I was able to make decisions about my trust because she explained all the details in a clear and concise manner. All of the employees are courteous and accommodating. I would highly recommend the Law Office of Dawn Dell'Acqua.

Dawn is a very talented professional who I will always trust. When it really counts, and if you've sought her services then it must, rest assured that you can't go wrong retaining her services as if there is a way to succeed she will find it. Although I do not relish having to use the court system, when it comes to needing to have your families future litigated, I know that it will always work out for the better with Dawn fighting for my family's best interest. Thanks Dawn and staff for being so excellent!

I can't tell you how many folks I've recommended her to because I trust her that much.

Dawn and her staff are top notch in my book. I have used her professional services, I have referred her professional service to numerous clients, and I have worked with some of her clients with tremendous results. Dawn is very competent, compassionate but tough when the situation calls for it. Our real estate company, Better Homes Realty respects and refers her services to our clients when the need arrises. Dawn is extremely knowledgeable regarding family law.
