Very knowledgeable and could not have navigated through this process without her

Ms. Daniell isan outstanding lawyer and truly knows what she is dealing with in Western Mass. I highly recommend her based on her experience and knowledge and she will work tirelessly to reach the best possible outcome for you as she has done for me.

Jenny Daniell

I needed someone to help me with a will, and Jenny came highly recommended by a friend. I was immediately at ease in her company. I found her bright, helpful and very understanding. I had many questions and felt they were all answered with insight. I felt that her fees were more than reasonable and w...ould absolutely use her again.

Jenny Daniell

I worked with Jenny on two separate issues. Once for creating a will for my partner and me and once for an employment issue. Both times she and her office were professional, knowledgeable, accessible, personable and supportive. i recommended her to a friend going through a difficult divorce and she f...elt the same way. I will continue to recommend Jenny.

Review: Jenny Daniell

I have been working with Attorney Jenny Daniell for approximately four months on a case against the Department of Children and Families. She is far and away superior to any attorney I have worked with. I have found her to be highly intelligent and highly competent, qualities which are combined with... great compassion and kindness. While the case is a difficult one and has not been resolved as yet, I have no doubt whatsoever that she will get the job done, and done well. I highly recommend Attorney Daniell without reservation; it has been a pleasure and an honor to have met and worked with her.

If you want what's best for your kids, hire Jenny Daniell!

Atourney Daniell is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. Her service through my divorce was indispensable. Her collaborative approach is powerful and her focus never wavers from what is best for the children. She helped me turn a contentious custody battle around through mediation, and we were... able to settle without a trial thanks in no small part to her efforts. I can recommend none higher.

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.
