About Dana

I’ve learned that when people hire a lawyer, it’s not a fight they want. They just want it to be over. They want to know that I’m taking care of it. There is no such thing as a peaceful lawsuit, but I give my clients the next best thing: the best and fastest resolution possible with the least amount of intrusion into their lives.

I represent people of all ages and walks of life. Each client’s situation is unique, but every person who comes to me needs help and feels vulnerable. My clients know that I respect and appreciate their worries.

Before Dana Brooks became an attorney, she was a paralegal, law firm administrator, mental health counselor and Florida Supreme Court certified family law mediator. Dana attended Pensacola Junior College and Tallahassee Community College before graduating Florida State University, cum laude, with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work. She later earned her Masters of Social Work from Florida State in 2003. Dana earned her law degree from Florida State, magna cum laude, in December 2007 and is a member of the Order of the Coif, signifying the top 10% of law school graduates. Her experience and reputation as a medical malpractice defense paralegal combined with her law school performance provided the basis for the exceptional opportunity Dana was offered while still in law school. Dana was sworn in as an attorney in the morning and made a named partner of a thirty-year-old revered plaintiff’s law firm that same afternoon.

Dana is a member of The Florida Bar, Tallahassee Women Lawyers, and the Tallahassee Bar Association. She is past-president of the Capital City Justice Association. She is a member of the Florida Justice Association and serves on its Medical Malpractice Committee. Dana is a Charter Member of the Democratic Women’s Club of Leon County, a former Trustee of the Florida Democratic Party and is active in vetting and supporting candidates for political office.

Her awards and recognition are many. She was honored to be given the Distinguished Young Alumni Award from the FSU College of Social Work in 2013. In 2014, she was awarded the Alumni Service Award from FSU College of Law. 2015 found Dana being recognized by her peers for her excellence. She was named in the Top 100 Trial Lawyers from The National Trial Lawyers, a Florida Legal Elite by Florida Trend, and a Million Dollar Advocate from the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. She enjoys a 10.0 rating on Avvo, the highest attainable.

Dana is committed to giving back to the community. She currently serves on the board of 2-1-1 Big Bend and is a former board member of America’s Second Harvest of the Big Bend. She is a frequent – and winning – coach of the FSU Law School’s Mock Trial Team. Under her leadership, Fasig Brooks supports Jazz for Justice, the Tallahassee Memorial Foundation, The Heart Association, Springtime Tallahassee, the Ronald McDonald House, Tree House, The Wakulla County Senior Citizen’s Center, and many other local and national charities. With her support and encouragement, attorneys and staff at Fasig Brooks contribute thousands of volunteer hours to the community every year.

Helping people thrive in spite of their challenges has given Dana a unique perspective when advocating for her injured clients. Her experience in social work strengthened her desire to help at-risk persons and those most in need of an effective legal advocate. She continues to be inspired and excited to work for justice for her clients. Fasig Brooks has won the Tallahassee People’s Choice “Tally Award” for “Best Law Firm” for the last seven years in a row.
