Divorce and Separation 50%

Divorce in Virginia can, and often does, encompass a wide range of family law issues, including marital property division, child custody and visitation, child support, and spousal support. It's beneficial to have a holistic understanding of your case

50%
Family 25%

There is perhaps no more sensitive, private, or personal legal practice area than divorce and family law. I understand the complexity and emotional weight that can accompany legal battles between family members. Call me today for a consultation.

25%
Child Custody 10%

Nothing is more important to you than the well being of your children. Offering a dogged determination to protect clients rights as parents and caregivers for their children is paramount. No one should ever approach a contested custody alone.

10%
Child Support 10%

Virginia’s laws on child support are not necessarily straightforward or easy. The presumptive child support guidelines are not the beginning, nor the end, of the story in many cases. Get an experienced advocate on your side.

10%
Domestic Violence 5%

Domestic violence and false accusation of domestic violence are both shockingly common in Virginia and across the country. At our Virginia family law firm, we have extensive experience in helping the victims of violence or those wronglfully accused.

Terrible Experience – Avoid at All Costs

If I could give Mr. Danieli zero stars, I would. He dragged my divorce case on for over a year and a half, claiming he couldn’t do anything. After I switched to a new lawyer, my case was resolved in just one week—and completely in my favor. During his time representing me, Mr. Danieli didn’t listen ...to my requests and consistently took steps against my wishes. He seemed more focused on sending bills for every little detail than actually helping me. His office was just as bad—ignoring emails, making numerous mistakes, and still charging me for them. I’m so relieved I finally switched lawyers. I would never recommend Mr. Danieli to anyone because it was clear he doesn’t know how to do his job or care about his clients.

Doesn't care about clients

Mr. Danieli was wholly unprepared when we went to court for my custody case for my daughter. All he had was a notebook and one picture of myself and my daughter and nothing else. During our pre trial hearing he admitted that he is good friends with my ex's attorney and the presiding judge and if I co...uld have afforded to change attorneys at that point I would have because after that it felt as though he was working for the other side. All the questions he asked me in court only pertained to how my ex was with our child and nothing about myself. All around a terrible attorney if you actually want to win your case.

Inept and Weak

Didn't process Discovery when received, missed dates, weak in hearings, cared more about his pocket and standing with other attorneys and judges than his client. Cost me a case in which the preponderance of evidence was in his hands.

Not on Your Side

Mr. Danieli was a terrible attorney relative my case. He showed little concern, no drive, and no motivation. His one concern was money. Court performance was awful. He used cell phone during court. Judge told him to stop it. In court, he appeared incompetent and uncaring. I do not recommend hi...m at all!

Think twice

One of my biggest mistakes was hiring Mr. Danieli to represent me. Personally I would look elsewhere while looking for an attorney.
