She routinely represents heirs, beneficiaries, creditors and private and professional fiduciaries in both contested and uncontested matters affecting all aspects of trusts and estates. Dana has substantial experience litigating matters involving complex claims for breach of fiduciary duty, including claims relating to allocation of investments, accounting discrepancies, valuation of businesses and other assets, sale of assets, estate and income taxes, distributions and Nevada’s Uniform Principal and Income Act. Additionally, she litigates claims involving testamentary and contractual capacity, undue influence, fraud and unjust enrichment.
Dana’s experience also extends out of court, where she has successfully negotiated settlements for clients involving complex trust and estate matters. She assisted the firm in negotiating a settlement that netted the firm’s client $50 million. Dana’s litigation experience extends to not only state court but federal court as well, at both the trial and appellate levels, including case assessment, motion practice, hearings, discovery, depositions, trial, settlement conferences, mediations and appeals. She has also successfully argued before the Nevada Supreme Court.
