As a premier boutique law firm, the Law Office of Dana L. White, PLLC takes a client-centered approach to legal representation. Our family lawyers in Southlake know that every family situation is unique and presents its own distinctive set of legal and practical challenges. We approach our cases ready to think outside the box and craft creative solutions that meet our clients’ unique needs, “protecting what matters most.”  We also intentionally limit the number of matters we handle at any given time to ensure every client receives the personal attention and dedication they deserve.

Your Complex High-Value Case Is
In Proficient Hands

border images

We are particularly proficient in high net-worth and difficult asset issues, including high-conflict and complicated child custody cases. Upon request, we also provide the highest quality ‘white glove’ services for our high-net-worth clients needing specialized attention and care around the clock. Our firm’s practice encompasses all aspects of marital dissolution, parentage, and other domestic relations actions. Although we handle simple family law matters, we specialize in high-asset, high-conflict cases.  We litigate complicated custody battles and cases involving complex support, financial, and property issues. 

Additionally, we utilize our vast network of resources, connections, and opportunities to benefit our clients. If you choose to work with us, you will gain access to everything we have to offer.  Our practice areas include Family Law, Trusts/Wills/Estate Planning, Probate, and Immigration.

Our experience trying high-conflict, high-stakes cases, however, has not blinded us to the financial and other costs of scorched-earth tactics employed by others. We strive to attain the most efficient and effective way to resolve cases. But if settlement is not possible, we prepare each case intelligently and diligently to ensure the best result for our clients.

In addition, our firm is proactive in our communications. You will always be informed about any changes in the status of your case and any settlement offers received. Even if we often are in court or mediation, we remain cognizant of your anxiety and return your calls as promptly as possible, typically the same day.

Happy family posing together in a cozy living room.
