Danika Little Review

We originally hired Ms. Little’s firm to assist with decisions and then writing our will. When we had some life changing events, we returned for advice again…….Ms. Little and her firm are and were extremely knowledgeable about our needs and kept us on tract with possibilities of which we were unawar...e. My husband is a 100% disabled veteran and Ms Little, of course, incorporated this information into the decisions made for our estate. We have been and still are excited to have Ms Little and her firm taking care of all our estate planning. None better……..

Experience W Danica Little and Staff

Danica was referred to us years Back to handle Legal Paper Work-Estate planning. We were extremely happy with the whole office and process. We of course returned this year for Legal POA papers for our daughter! All questions answered, left again feeling confident we (daughter) have what will be ne...eded if NEEDED! Her Paralegal is also Wonderful. Great team.

Preparation of Wills and Trust

Ms. Little was very good in helping us with our Wills and Trust for our disabled son. She was very informative and helped us a great deal to understand what we needed to do legally for our son in the future. We would recommend her to anyone.

All-in-one Estate Planning Services

Ms. Little and her staff made estate planning painless, simple and efficient. They have streamlined tools and templates and an effective intake process that takes the guess work out of estate planning, from trusts and wills to durable powers of attorney and HIPPA release. Ms. Little and her staff wer...e very responsive throughout the process and handled all the state and county filings. Ms. Little was a pleasure to work with and I have recommended her to several friends and colleagues.

Special Needs Attorney

As the Mother of two children with Special Needs, it is very important for me to work with someone who understands what I am going through, and my concerns for my children. Danica's knowledge of matters affecting our Special Needs Community extends beyond legal planning, helping to address questions... about Medicaid and my current health insurance. Danica is a wealth of knowledge, and a phenomenal resource to have in our community.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
