Highly recommend Attorney Daniell

Upon meeting attorney Daniell I knew that she would be an advocate for me. She was welcoming, warm, and personable and I knew after our first meeting she would get me the help I needed. She was honest and straight forward and told me everything I needed to move on with my case and helped me get the ...best outcome I could and I am very happy with the end results. I would highly recommend her for anyone seeking legal advice.

We are grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and legal intervention.

What had been six aggravating months without resolution was resolved within a week's time as a result of Jenny's thorough and firm legal intervention to resolve the matter in our favor. We had been scammed by a Florida outfit that promised substantial debt relief but when we tried to back out of the ...arrangement we encountered months of evasiveness, false promises, deceit and deception. Thankfully Jenny took charge of the matter, researched the history of consumer complaints against the organization and sent a strong letter seeking restitution and threatening legal action on our a behalf. We are grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and legal intervention.

Her counsel resulted in the outcome I wanted

Jenny was very forthcoming and she told me everything I needed to know about divorce law. She was very knowledgeable about the laws and took the time to discuss and understand my specific situation. She was very professional and managed the details from the opposing lawyer with grace and only infor...med me about the specifics that I needed to know. The case went through numerous visits to the judge and finally to trial. I credit Jenny for the success of all the appearances in front of the judge. Her counsel about how to handle trial was led to an outcome that I believe is the best for my son and was ultimately the best for me and my ex-wife.

Jenny is great!

Jenny's services have been critical to my efforts to resolve some serious issues concerning my daughter and her mom. She was totally professional in her actions, thorough in her advice, and compassionate about my situation.

Business sold

The first time we (my wife and I) hired Jenny was to handle the sale of our half of a business in which the partnership had become toxic. Jenny was excellent at finding the appropriate resources and expertise to gain and use the knowledge necessary to negotiate successfully with our former partners.... She was able to maintain a positive, respectful tone and held our position firmly throughout the negotiation of the buyout despite the rude and inappropriate claims and behaviors of my former partners. We were very pleased with the outcome of that case and have since used Jenny's services for several other matters.

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.
