Daniele C. Johnson

I sought out Daniele Johnson after reading the reviews on this site. It was my first time having to seek legal services, as I was going through a divorce and a child custody battle. Daniele is very knowledgeable and is really straight forward as it relates to the do ' s and don't of the case. Her... #1 priority is doing what's best for the child and ensured that I maintained this perspective through out the case. Daniele is also a beast in the courtroom! Her line of questioning and the way she positions her arguments are professional and impactful. A long story short, I not only won my case but received full custody of my child. I am extremely grateful for the way Daniele fought for my case and took the time to understand my concerns. I would highly recommend Daniele Johnson to anyone going through a divorce or child custody battle!

What I would like to say first is I'm writing this before I know the outcome of our Trial that was 3 days ago. I want to do this to better show my sincerity, honesty, and thought behind this review that Mrs. Johnson deserves. There is not enough space here to talk about our situation so I will shorte...n this to hope you can visualize what she had to do for us. We live in MI and have custody of my stepson and have been pending trial for almost a year 1/2 through Fulton county. We had a lawyer abandon this case and not show up for hearings in which caused absolute madness! It can't be described in words what this caused. What happened is after a year 1/2 of preparing for trial stacks of evidence ect. None of this can now be used due to previous attorney not showing to hearing and submitting required forms and things. Needless to say 1 day before pre trial I call Mrs. Johnson in a extreme panic explaining what has happened and she just listened and was calm and told me that she will go to pre trial Monday and Fix it! I said how? The attorney didn't show up last hearing and we can't do this and that. She just said I will take care of it. That she did. Being in MI no chance to plan we did not even need to attend the pre trial. What we did find out is it was impossible to fix the not using documents in Trial due to previous Attorney negligence. Nothing could be done to change this it was the law. A couple more bumps in the road, they schedule a trial during our vacation 1 month later. Somehow Mrs. Johnson was able to get the other attorney to agree to change the date???? Preparing was amazing never missed a step! Not a question! I was so impressed of the way that Mrs. Johnson works. I didn't understand going through the process until I recieved a list from her of questions and she was questioning me like I was on the stand. Mrs. Johnson has a strategy and style that is just thorough and professional and makes you feel so confident and comfortable. Trial day for me I was great! For Mrs. Johnson I didn't forget the fact that she was not able to use or produce any documents in court that day. However trial day showed me my instincts were correct when I had to make a choice of which attorney to hire and take another chance on. The way she handled every person with respect and the way that evidence was cleverly still used to be seen throughout trial not submitted but seen, and how every objection was re worded so quickly and the same answer was still achieved so quickly without a second thought or frustration. That was truly amazing to me. Most important to me was before anyone of us went on stand she said I have done this for 17 years and this Judge has been on the stand for many years, whatever you do you tell the truth. If you don't I will know and so will the Judge. I respect Mrs. Johnson so much for that. If you have a family custody case and you are looking for a attorney please trust me when I say Mrs. Johnson was worth every penny I have. I will update with the outcome of Trial when we find out. Thank you Mrs. Johnson for cleaning up over a years mess in just a couple weeks!

I first walked into Ms. Johnson’s office when I was 4 months pregnant with my first baby and scared to death of what laid ahead. My ex made every attempt to bully, manipulate, control and dictate my prenatal appointments and the eventual custody arrangement of my son since 6 weeks into my pregnancy. ...He made demands centered around his interest with no regard for my rights and no room for boundaries. Without knowing where else to turn I took one small step with a phone call to the domestic violence hotline. That led me to free counseling in my county and that therapist directed me to Ms. Johnson. Through the confusion and fear of exiting an abusive relationship and the fog of pregnancy I kept the words of the therapist in the back of my head and recited them to myself often "Daniele will take care of you". Those words provided one of the few sources of comfort I could muster during a very difficult time. Since that day, almost two years ago, Ms. Johnson has fought continuously for my case. Her Guardian Ad Litem background and parental instincts was spot on throughout the process. There were many layers to my complicated case including a list of over 20 witnesses. At the center of all this mess I had a precious baby boy to protect. Ms. Johnson never lost sight of who her real client was. I was fighting for my son and she fought for us. There are 2 qualities about Ms. Johnson that stand out above the rest (1) her trustworthiness. I permitted her to handle my affairs with my minimal involvement during the final stage of pregnancy and first few weeks home from the hospital (2) she does not allow herself or her clients to be bullied. When my son's fathers behavior began to escalate during my initial attempts at visitation she kept a finger on the pulse of my struggles and helped me establish healthy boundaries which my ex never did respect. She recognized I had truly tried my best and continuing that pattern would have been enabling the very abuse I fought to escape. Ultimately my ex voluntarily withdrew his petition to legitimate. Despite the momentary relief, Ms. Johnson was vigorous in thinking ahead and strategically taking action to establish a record trail and lay the ground work should a future need arise to protect my interest again.

I first met Attorney Johnson in 2012 when she spoke at a womens retreat which I attended. I was moved by her compassion for women/families facing divorce. Her demeanor exuded confidence, strength, caring, trust, knowledge, and experience. At the time I was broken, afraid, and could not see the light ...at the end of the tunnel, but she assured me that it was there. Daniele was patient, considerate of my feelings, treated me with respect, she was always interested in knowing how my children (and my pets!) were doing in the midst of everything. She was not wasteful of my money nor my time, and kept me abreast of all activities regarding my case as we went along. She was supportive, a good listener, and always had my best interest at heart. She is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, but dont let the smooth taste fool you because she can get down with the best of them; she is fearless, not easily intimidated, knows her stuff, and is a force to be reckoned with (she certainly made a believer out of my ex!) My divorce is now final and ended in my favor. I have not had any other dealings with the court system therefore I have no other attorneys to compare her to, but what I can say is that I entreated the Lord for an excellent attorney, and he blessed me with Daniele.

I am Al and i am a client of Ms. Daniele Johnson. what else can I say but wow, amazing, stupendous, awesome, magnificent Can you believe that there is a lawyer who has the heart, passion, desire, Intellegence and will to not only serve her client, but most importantly what is in the best interest... of the children. My Daniele Johnson is the best lawyer ever. As a father going through divorce i was told fathers had no chance to get primary of the children. Because of Ms. Johnson i Have primary custody of my children...Fathers, if you want a true warrior with the ultimate weapon to protect your children and your rights, give Ms. Johnson a call. My ex tried to get me to be alone with her. With Daniele's guidance i refused my ex's "let's try to make it work" and only thought of what is in the best interest of the children. That kept me safe and helped me to get custudy. Daniele's secret and most fierce weapon is her 1st thought. "What is best for the children". If u want custody of your children, for the right reasons, Daniele is ferocious when it comes to what is best for the children and will fight till the end.
