Excellent experience with Attorney daniell

My son and I have begun a new start to our lives because of Atty. Jenny Daniell. She was an intense and ethical advocate for us during my recent divorce. Our future looks very promising as we begin our new journey and we owe it to Atty. Daniell's hard work and dedication. Thank you Jenny! Jacq...ui

Avvo Rating

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.
