Divorce & Separation

Ms. Daya saw that my children and I were taken care of. Her office was always quick to get back in touch with me when I had questions or needed something, too. I highly recommend this attorney, and she is very good at what she does.

Modify parenting plan

Daya Wright is attentive and caring. She is matter-of-fact, honest, and sticks to the main issues of my case. Because of her experience and expertise, she is able to navigate the complicated processes of the court system, which alleviates worry and doubt. She is very organized and follows through on ...all aspects of the court proceedings. Although we have not yet come to a resolution in the matter, I am confident that she is working diligently to reach the best possible outcome.

Would highly recommend

Daya is a wonderful and great lawyer. She is prompt, very informative, makes you feel very comfortable. We had been needing help in a case we were involved in for almost two years. Daya stepped in to our rescue and has done more for us in the last 2 months then anyone had done for us in two years. Ou...r hats are off to all the hard work and attention she has given our family. She doesn't make you feel like your just a name on a piece of paper, she let's you know that she is truly concerned for your problems and is very tentative on every thing she does. She helps to keep your spirits up when you feel you are at your wits end. She is up front and let's you know right where you stand, and if there is anything she can do to help. She is a very down to earth person and easy to talk to. Her office is very comfortable and makes you feel right at home. Her office staff is very friendly. And her dog is very beautiful (handsome)!!!! Thank you for all you have done for us Daya!!!!!!!

Mediation lawyer | Jul 01

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Avvo.com requires that I designate a practice area, so I endorse Daya Wright as a family court mediator. As a mediator she is friendly, efficient, and focused. She balances family and her profession in a general practice that includes her experience as a court appointed fiduciary commissioner, so her knowledge of estate matters is excellent. In cases where we have associated, or where I have referred people to her, she has done an outstanding job."

  • 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.
