Danielle's experience and professionalism helped me to reunite with my child

You can place your complete confidence in Danielle for navigating child custody issues. She is the expert you need to achieve the best outcome. Her exceptional professionalism, profound knowledge, and remarkable efficiency were crucial in guiding me through my darkest moments. I've been trying to ...hire a lawyer to help me obtain sole custody, but over 20 attorneys have rejected my inquiries due to their lack of experience with such cases. While I was in a deep frustration and self-doubts, it's Danielle's message from Avvo encourage, saying she could assist me. I scheduled a 30-minute consultation with her through her assistant, which is refundable if I decide not to hire her. During the session, she assured me that she understood my case correctly and provided three potential solutions, along with their associated costs, procedures, and consequences. I was impressed by how experienced and well-prepared she was, so I decided to hire her immediately. After engaging her services, I primarily worked with her associate attorney, Belinda, who was very responsible and responsive. Danielle would provide instructions behind the scenes and control the big picture. We opted for the most cost-effective and time-efficient approach to obtain the court order. Danielle's team handled the judge's questions effectively and assisted me in obtaining the necessary documents to reunite with my child after years of separation. I am incredibly grateful to Danielle and her team for all they have done.

The best divorce / custody attorney in CLT

Hands down the best divorce and custody attorney in Charlotte. I met with all the high profile attorneys in town when deciding to move away from Matt Arnold (who was great but crazy expensive) and Danielle was my new attorney without question. I have a high conflict custody case and Danielle has been... instrumental in moving the process forward and providing me with options. Would hire her again!!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST ATTORNEY IN CHARLOTTE!!

I had a high conflict family law case for four years. Attorney Advocates were involved as well as DSS and five other attorneys before I hired Danielle Walle. She was sent from Heaven to get my case settled and keep my child safe. She is, without a doubt, the BEST, most efficient and caring attorney. ...She went above and beyond, giving me the advice, support, confidence and comfort I needed to ensure I would get the most favorable outcome and time with my son. She is an absolute beast in the courtroom as well! She will tirelessly fight for her clients and she performed brilliantly! I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. PLEASE hire her! Thank you so much Danielle!!

God Sent Attorney - Highly Recommend

I wanted to take a moment to share my profound gratitude and recommendation for Danielle Walle, who has been nothing short of extraordinary as my attorney during a challenging divorce and custody battle. Danielle has been my guiding light over nearly two years of navigating a high-conflict divorce w...here my daughter unfortunately experienced alienation. Unlike other attorneys I consulted initially, Danielle immediately recognized the importance of my daughter's mental health amidst the legal complexities. She proactively recommended therapy and ensured it became court-ordered despite opposition, which ultimately led to my daughter's healing and the restoration of our relationship. Throughout this tumultuous journey, Danielle and her team consistently provided unwavering support, often working late nights and weekends to fight for my best interests. Despite numerous changes in the opposing counsel, Danielle remained steadfast by my side, demonstrating not only legal prowess but also compassion, wisdom, and a commitment to justice. I cannot recommend Danielle Walle highly enough for anyone facing a separation or divorce, especially those involving complex child custody and Child support issues. Her blend of legal expertise and genuine care for her clients sets her apart. Working with Danielle has not only resolved my legal challenges but also fostered personal growth and resilience. Thank you once again to Danielle and her team for their dedication and exceptional service.

Remarkable & Caring

I hired Danielle just over five years ago. When I met with Danielle, I just knew she was the absolute best fit for me. There is a very simple reason why Danielle is so well-liked: she is a talented and outstanding attorney who works for her clients as if they were her personal friend or family membe...r. I had the good fortune to find her in my search for new representation after a serious child custody crisis. I had to resolve financial things, but those were a piece of cake in comparison to the issues with my daughter. I still remember the first time I met Danielle because her knowledge, professionalism, honesty and genuine demeanor was strikingly different from the attorney I had worked with and the experiences I had had. She skillfully brought calm to a very emotional and chaotic situation. My ex was toxic and terrible for my daughter who had very specific and special needs. Danielle had the right energy and compassion to understand what I needed, what my daughter needed, and the grit to help us get there. Danielle worked steadfastly for me. It was not always easy, but Danielle kept me informed of the pros and cons every step of the way. She let me make the choices, but she held my hand as I did and ensured I knew exactly what I was doing before I had to make any decisions. She didn't back down from a challenge and was able to adapt to all the crazy things my ex and his attorney threw at us. She was caring, empathetic, and sensitive at every step. She knew that my daughter was my first priority and every step she took was with that in mind. It's been a long time, but I am thankful for her every day. Every day that my daughter was safe with me, I know it's because God led me to Danielle. Danielle told me that her job was to represent the "whole client," and that's what she did. She wasn't cheap by any means, but she kept me informed of the costs, gave me options to save money when possible, and she surrounded herself with excellence. Danielle's excellent paralegal, Janessa, was absolutely phenomenal. Danielle told me that she'd have Janessa and her team do as much as possible to keep my costs down. It made me nervous, but I realized that Danielle was always aware and present, but her team was my team and everyone worked as a unit. I am so appreciative that I was able to have such diligent attention without needing to pay a 2-3 attorney team. She's changed firms since I hired her, but it's my understanding that she's working with her same team. It's clear that Danielle is loyal and steadfast in all that she does. I honestly cannot express enough thanks, gratitude or appreciation for her hard work and support in what she helped accomplish for me and my daughter. Thank you Danielle! I'm sorry it took me so long to leave a review, but I told you I'd do it as soon as C turned 18!
