MY ONLY CHOICE

Everyone believes their case is uniquely challenging, and mine is no exception. However, after a protracted and emotionally draining custody battle spanning several years with an exceptionally unreasonable ex-partner, Danielle achieved the outcome we desired. I struggle to find adequate words to conv...ey just how remarkable an attorney she is. Not only does she fight tenaciously on your behalf, but she is also responsive, knowledgeable, and consistently puts you at ease when you reach out with any concerns. Your search for an attorney ends with Danielle—she’s truly exceptional!

I have a great lawyer!!!

Facing hard time in a broken marriage, making decision while in a chaos situation, Danielle is an attorney that you should take! She has full of knowledge, skills, and a lot of energy. She is down to earth with the client, but straight forward to protect you from the opposite side. I found it is ...very easy to reach her by phone or email, and she would promptly respond! Thanks to Danielle for her patience in guiding me step by step to the end.

YOUR BEST CHOICE!

I hired Ms. Montalto to represent me in my divorce where custody of my three year old daughter was going to be litigated. She protected my child and me from my ex husband's bullying attorney and truly saved the day. In the end, custody was not tried but settled and that is thanks to Ms. Montalto. Hig...hly recommended.

Excellent advice, excellent care! Strong willed and confident.

Danielle was extremely helpful in guiding me through a difficult and emotional time. She advised me every step of the way and fully supported my decisions. She always kept her cool when needed, but always got her point across when faced with opposition. She is a lady, but not one to be messed with. ...She was a pleasure to work with, and gets the job done, period.

Client

Danielle is a dynamic attorney! She is smart, aggressive and doesn't back down from ANYONE! Literally, the only "pitbull" lawyer I've had. Danielle also has an amazing personality and is easy to talk to. She responded to all my questions and emails within a very short period of time. Highly pro...fessional attorney and would definitely recommend to anyone who actually wants to win his or her case.
