Brown, Goldstein & Levy partner Dana McKee was named to the Lawdragon 500 Leading Family Lawyers Guide, marking her second year in a row making the prestigious list. Dana was recognized in four practice areas: Family Law, Divorce, High-Net Worth, and Appellate.
Throughout her career with BGL, Dana has made a name for herself as one of the foremost family law attorneys in Maryland. She has worked on a number of family and divorce law cases where she successfully challenged the validity of prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements and negotiated and drafted prenuptial agreements for individuals who expect to achieve significant wealth during the course of their careers.
Clients regard Dana as a tough negotiator who is dedicated to bringing justice to the family law system, one case at a time. A compassionate advocate for all stakeholders in a case, Dana understands that often, divorce litigation is not appropriate for protecting the best interests of the families and children tied to a dispute. She is trained and experienced in Collaborative Law; an alternative dispute resolution process that takes family law matters out of the courtroom.
Dana has utilized her expertise in family law to lead seminars and write in-depth blogs that answer questions for people who are dealing with divorce or custody issues, from broad questions to more specific, timely topics. Earlier this year, Dana presented on the ins and outs of prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements during a presentation for the Bar Association of Baltimore City Family Law Committee on April 18.
This distinction joins a growing list of accolades that Dana has received this year, having also been named to the 2025 Best Lawyers in America Guide, where she was recognized in six different areas of practice in family law. She was also featured as a top family law talent in the 2024 Best Lawyers Family Law Legal Guide, named for her work in family law, family law arbitration, and family law mediation.
