Co-Managing Partner and Head of Litigation
Dawn Ryan Budner leads the Calabrese Budner litigation team as a former equity partner with a top Dallas civil litigation firm, where she earned headline verdicts in both state and federal court. Budner's extensive business and commercial litigation experience gives clients an advantage in complex property disputes. Budner projects confidence and expertise in the courtroom and at the negotiating table and her clients rest assured she will guide them expertly through the most contentious and complicated family law matters.
Budner has achieved some extraordinary results for family law clients-like overturning a five year-old divorce decree that was obtained with fraud. Or a settlement many times over the unconscionable terms of a marital agreement that was obtained without full disclosure. Less flashy but just as notable are the many clients Budner has helped to restructure their families and estates in collaborative divorce or with a settlement that avoided unnecessary depletion of assets.
When your family's wellbeing is at stake, you need an attorney with the intellect, experience, strategic insight and energy to get you where you need to go. That's Dawn Budner.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
