Wonderful Lawyer!

We worked with Jenny regarding a child custody case. She was helpful, diligent, and she is very clever. She knows the ins and outs of the process like the back of her hand, and it showed when we left court with a big win! Thank you, Jenny!

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.

Excellent Representation

Jenny did an excellent job working through my complicated post-divorce situation. She is a very good listener and takes the time to truly understand her client and their situation. Very good representation and a very good communicator.

Highly recommended

Jenny A Daniell is excellent as a person and as lawyer, full of knowledge and energy. I would recommend her services to anybody who needs guidance in a legal matter. I consulted with Jenny and she took my case in a very short notice and made the best of it considering the short amount of time getting... the best outcome.

Jenny Daniell

My wife and I consulted Atty Daniell to mediate the terms of our divorce. She was extremely knowledgeable and able to tell us exactly what should be said and how to say it. She clearly has great experience with family court and a very personable attitude. Definitely made easy work of a very tough ti...me. I would absolutely contact her first next time I need help.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
