1000/10!

Danielle was assigned as my lawyer when I was arrested and she gave me peace of mind from the moment I met her till my case was closed. She gave me assurance and communicated with me the entire time she even dug deeper into my case then I expected her to and quickly brought my case to end with no cri...minal record. She called me about conclusions she came to from reviewing my case on random days that weren’t surrounding my court dates and I am overly satisfied and thankful to have gotten assigned to someone who actually cared about getting me the best possible outcome. 10/10 I would recommend her a thousand times over ! Thank you Danielle !

Excellent attorney

Danielle Papa went above and beyond to make sure I understood my rights. She got me the best plea I could have gotten. I would definitely use her if you need an attorney who is not only a tough attorney , but one cares about who she is representing.

Awesome choice for attorney

My sister has been thought a lot transferred from one prison which we were extremely unhappy with the first attorney she had then transferred to another jail nobody has done nothing to try to help her and her complicated case thats how I felt up untill I had the pleasure of meeting defense attorney D...anielle papa she is very understanding and to the point and I believe she is going to get the best deal possible for my sister. Which really is putting all of her loved ones at ease and I spoke to many attorneys on this long journey and she is in fact one the best I'm very happy with her she is an excellent attorney smart and knows the her laws I would recommend her to anyone that needs a attorney.....

Thorough, affordable and tenacious

In April of 2015 I was charged with DUI and possession. To be honest I was pretty scared about the long term consequences in regards to my recordand of course my freedom. I interviewed 5 lawyers and all had various pricing points. I did not pick Danielle because of the price even though comparativel...y she was reasonable. I picked Danielle because for a few reasons. First she listened and asked intelligent well thought out questions. Second she reviewed various scenarios and WE agreed on what would be best for my particular situation. Third she laid out out a comprehensive yet realistic strategy on how to obtain that goal. Finally and perhaps most important she has empathy. Danielle did not judge or preach. She at no point made me feel less than because I had a problem and admittedly I had a serious problem. I have had very frank conversations with Danielle since retaining her and she was always supportive and I would even go so far to say proud. Ultimatelyat this point I would consider her a friend and I take that word very seriously. Yet in regard to her legal prowess, I followed her suggestions to a tee which in turn gave her the ammunition to tenaciously argue my case over the period of over a year. My judge was not known for leniency yet Danielle NEVER settled. At one point even I was going settle but she refused and for that I will be eternally grateful. If you are reading this review clearly you have an issue. My suggestion is two fold. First hire Danielle she will not disappoint. Second, listen and ACT upon her suggestions, not only will it help your case it may save your life...it saved mine. To sum up my experience, I expected somewhere between 6-8 months in county a felony DUI AND misdemeanor possession of heroin. I received a misdemeanor DUI and a disorderly conduct with no jail time and to boot I'm 7 months clean and I've never been happier. To me this is no just a review but a thank you letter to someone who made a massive positive impact in my life and again I could not be more grateful. Michael L

Great Lawyer

Danielle saved my skin! I got into some trouble a while back now and needed some legal advice. Not knowing who to call i just searched best DWI attorney in New York. Little did I know I would actually get one of the best. I don't know anything about the legal system but Danielle always filled me in. ...She also kept me calm most of the time like taking a weight off my back. Anyway I got my DWI charge dropped, and I can finally move on with my life. Thank you Danielle.
