Legal administrative support for lawyers who just need someone who gets it.
Experienced and reliable assistance for busy sole practitioners.
Meet Dana
Hey, I’m Dana, the face behind Dana Will Virtual Assistant (DWVA).
With over 15 years’ experience in the legal industry, working in litigation
and debt recovery, I’m someone who just gets things done. I’m proactive,
organised and known for anticipating what’s needed before it’s even asked. I
also understand how much time admin can take out of a lawyer’s day.
As a freelance legal assistant, I now use that experience to support sole
practitioners with reliable admin help so they can focus on their clients
and having more time for themselves.
Based in Adelaide, I work remotely with practitioners across Australia.
Outside of work, I’m a mum and a coffee lover, often found in the kitchen
testing new recipes or catching up with family and friends.
