The Go To Lawyer

When I needed legal advice I consulted with Danielle Obiorah, who was referred to me by my son. I found her to be an eminent and accomplished lawyer. I needed, I would hire her.

EEOC Compliant Against The Department of Veterans Affairs

I hired Danielle in April of 2014 to represent me in my EEOC/Harrassment/Disability complaint against the VA. All I can say is that this Awesome Attorney Did Her Thing! She is extremely knowledgeable of all laws applicable to every situation involving my case including reasonable accommodation and ...hostile work environment. She kept me informed and always returned my calls-even on Saturdays & when she was out-of-town. Compared to the many attorneys that I have worked with and or hired, I would say that her professionalism, knowledge, understanding of the law at hand and Work Ethics is The Best, Bar None! Matter of fact, I'm so impressed with her I have hired her to represent my husband!

Fair and Competent

After going through another law firm who just nickle and dimed me to death and bogus charges, it was so wonderful finding Danielle. She was always there for me when I had questions. She quoted a price and it never changed. Not only that, Danielle followed up on my work disability and made USPS accoun...table to make a decision. If you want a fair and honest professional lawyer, you don't need to go farther than Danielle Obiroah.

Client

Ms. Obiorah is an outstanding Employment Rights attorney. She is a hard worker and personally involved during all phases of the case. She keeps her clients well informed and returns all phone calls and e-mails. She also makes sure the client understands law language. I have recommended her to a n...umber of co-workers who are experiencing employment issues. The best word to describe her is just "Outstanding." I would rate her the same if we didn't win due to her work ethic.

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.
