- "Dale represented my son who was accused of rape and false imprisonment. He was always there for us..answering questions, keeping us updated and fought hard for my son. He was always kind, available, and honest about going to trial. It was a long hard battle as the prosecutor dug her heels in and wouldn’t let go even though the evidence proved the whole thing was ridiculous. He was the bomb during the trial. My son was found not guilty on all charges! I can’t say enough good things about him!"
