Content and at peace

The only good thing about my whole divorce experience from beginning to end was my attorney Jenny Daniell. She was there through thick and thin. Negotiating is one of her many expertise. I told Jenny what I wanted from my divorce, the thing that meant the most to me and that’s exactly what she got fo...r me. She knows the law, the system, the judges and her profesional peers very well. She is well prepared, very protective of her clients and truly looks out for their best interest in every aspects.

BRAVA!

I have know Jenny through two divorces--my own (post-divorce negotiations) and that of a dear friend. In both cases, her astute legal strategy, procedural accountability, clear head and great compassion for our distinctive circumstances resulted in an outcome well beyond our initial expectations. Jen...ny is accessible, responsive, conscientious and sensitive to both the emotional and financial costs of the divorce process. I have and will continue to recommend her to those in need of legal representation that they can trust in times that are often highly emotional and complex. Moreover, Jenny doesn't need to wear her intelligence, accomplishments and ego on her sleeve---her quiet confidence, integrity, exceptional experience and legal nuance get it done to the great advantage of her clients.

Great attorney

Not only did Attorney Daniell take my case on very short notice but she also displayed great knowledge and professionalism in explaining to me exactly what to expect in my custody case. She always arrived for court on time and ready to work. Her assistant Peter was extremely helpful in working with m...e on getting all my paperwork filled out correctly and on-time. Thanks to Jenny and Peter I was able to keep my son living with me and attending a great school for which I will be forever grateful.

Professional and Caring

I hired Attorney Jenny Daniell to help and guide me with my divorce. Not only did she get me the absolute best outcome, she was very professional, caring and extremely compassionate. Divorce causes a world wind of emotions, she helped to keep me focused and truly listened to me. She was completely... prepared and professional in the court (which the Judge appreciated as well). Her compassion she showed towards me and my situation was what gave me the strength and courage to be strong and to fight for myself. I am forever grateful for her and what she did for my and my children.

Absolutely the best.

Jenny Daniell is superb. She is an excellent attorney: knowledgeable, organized, and helpful in navigating the legal issues involved in a divorce. But more than that, she is caring and supportive in dealing with the emotional toll divorce takes. You will not find an attorney with greater compassion a...nd integrity.
