Dena Silliman Nielson, J.D. is a recently retired attorney who spent almost 25 years practicing law in state and federal courts. Dena's primary area of expertise is family law. Dena now uses this expertise as an author, educator, coach, and speaker on divorce and family-related topics.
Since leaving the active practice of law, Dena has focused on writing, teaching, and advocating for those involved in divorce. In 2021, she published her first book, Common Sense Divorce: Ten Steps to Save You Time, Money, and Worry. This book is a blueprint for anyone involved in divorce at any stage of the process. As an accompaniment to this book, Dena has developed and launched an online course, Common Sense Divorce: Divorce with Dignity and Regain Your Happiness and Self-Worth. The course is a deep dive into the workings of divorce and instruction on how to survive the process and thrive in the new normal that emerges afterward.
