Daniele C. Johnson

I was referred to Ms. Johnson by a friend. I went to Ms. Johnson for an initial consultation and I was pleased with her credentials and knowledge of family law. She was informative about the divorce/separation process and her fees were reasonable. Ms. Johnson and her staff were good about gett...ing back to you right away with answers to all the questions that come up when you start the process of filing. I would highly recommended her to other people.

I just went through a divorce with my wife who just knew she would get custody of our 6 year old son. Her and her family’s assumption was that the mother “always” gets the child. Well, not in my case thanks to Daniele!! I got custody of our son and my ex now pays me a significant amount of child s...upport each month. I believe I found Daniele through a combination of serendipity and Divine Intervention. When I hired Daniele we had no time spare--- my trial was only about a week away. However, Daniele was always calm, courteous, and professional, while at the same time thinking strategically and remaining matter-of-factly. I was very impressed with how resolute she was in her preparations and her level of confidence. A couple of times I actually heard her say, “I’m going to get custody of that child”. I remember meeting with Daniele late the day before the trial and hammering out our strategy and approach. Working together, we were able to come up with a plan of attack that caught my ex and her attorney off guard! You should have seen the looks on their faces! Her attorney then wanted the judge to postpone the trial--- but Daniele resisted. They had not wanted to push the trial date for us, so why should we allow them to do it at the last minute? In the end, everyone agreed the trial would go on as originally planned. The outcome: we won!! My ex was devastated and has now switched attorneys to attempt a fruitless appeal, when before the ruling she thought her first attorney walked on water. Sitting beside Daniele in court gave me another opportunity to see just how talented, resourceful and intelligent she is. During the entire trial, she would make little notes and bullet points--- all while listening to opposing counsel and me at times. I thought these were just little reminders. However, at the end of the trial, she wove all of those loose notes and “scribblings” into one of the most effective and eloquent closing arguments I have ever heard! I was floored and opposing counsel looked stunned and drained. One of the most important things for me is that Daniele remains even tempered. There were times that I wanted to make some unilateral decisions regarding my ex’s visitation (and sometimes still do), but Daniele advised against it. Her experience, helps her keep both sides in perspective to ensure I don’t do anything to harm my cause in the eyes of the court. She is also very responsive and candid, and will let you know the good and the bad related to your case. The other positive reviews are right on point. You would not regret hiring Daniele Johnson to handle your case. Obviously, she can’t guarantee a certain outcome--- no one can--- but you can rest assured she is a fighter and will get the best outcome possible for you. I have already recommended her to a couple of my friends who are about to go through their own divorces. Therefore, I highly recommend that you call Daniele today and get her started working for you and your family--- and hope that your ex has not found her first! LOL!

Daniele Johnson came highly recommended to me by one of my colleagues from work. At the time of my divorce, I was temprorarily living and working in California. The case was filed in Cobb County. I couldn't get any legal advice in California because the divorce laws differ greatly between states. ... I spoke with Daniele from the West Coast and she immediately made me feel comfortable about my case. Not only is Daniele a very knowledgable lawyer, but she is an outstanding listener and communicator. Due to the distance, all of our communication and correspondance was via the phone and email. I didn't meet Daniele until the day of our mediation hearing. When we met, I was very impressed with her organizational skills and her attention to detail. The case went well and thanks to her, things worked out fine for me. I only had to make the one trip to Atlanta, which saved me time and money. She was able to take care of several other case related issues without me having to be present. Her Husband, Erich Schwerd, also provided me with some much needed assistance. His financial background and knowledge is outstanding and his experience with QDROs was a tremendous help. The QDRO was completed in a very timely and professional manor. It is without hesitation that I recommend Daniele to anyone needing legal assistance.

Ms. Johnson is a great attorney. She is knowledgeable, dependable, fair and very accommodating. I have been most impressed with her creativity in solving problems that other attorneys told me were not correctable. Additionally, Ms Johnson has many years of GAL experience, that have proven invalua...ble to me and many of her clients.
