Professional, transparent, and focused on resolution

I appreciated the pragmatic and grounded approach Daniele brought to the process. From the beginning, the focus was on working toward resolution rather than escalating the situation through unnecessary litigation. We went through two rounds of mediation and ultimately also appeared in court. At ev...ery stage, she took the time to walk me through my options and what I could realistically expect. When it came time to advocate in mediation and in court, she was clearly well prepared and handled opposing counsel effectively, including an unexpected participant who became involved late in the process. On a human level, both Daniele and Cathrine, her paralegal, were a real source of support during what was a very stressful time. They made themselves available even for unscheduled calls when things became difficult, helping me process what was happening and stay focused. I also valued the transparency around billing. Legal processes like this can be unpredictable, but retainers, pricing, and invoicing were always clear and straightforward, and there were never any surprises. All filings were completed on time, and both mediation and court appearances were handled with professionalism and preparation. Throughout the process, the overall approach emphasized fairness, integrity, realism, and the avoidance of unnecessary escalation.

Tell her the hole truth and you will have your victory.

Daniel is a great lawyer and I will recommend her to anyone needing a legal help. One of the thing I love about her is that she will tell you the truth and your stand and she will never give you hope where there is non. She will fight for you till the end and I say a very BIG thank you to miss John...son for being there for me.

Posted by Abigail | June 02, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

The best lawyer in Georgia

I could not be happier with my experience working with Attorney Daniele Johnson and her team. At 8 months pregnant the father of my child petitioned for FULL custody of my unborn child maliciously simply because he was far more financially superior than me. Daniele always listened to me thoroughly an...d patiently, I was comfortable telling her very personal details towards my case. I am forever grateful that she made me and babies safety, health and peace the top priority from beginning to end. The entire process went extremely smooth thanks to Daniele and her team’s professionalism. During our hearing Daniele was very sharp and handled everything extremely well and impeccably, I felt comfortable and well protected the entire time. I 1000% recommend Daniele as a family lawyer because she is informative, knowledgeable, compassionate, and all around great at what she does, she’s the best! Everything I asked for and hoped for got granted. Her team was also a true pleasure to work with, they never lacked communication. My family and I will never forget Daniele and everything she has done to protect us in our most vulnerable time. Once again, thank you Daniele! -Abigail

It was an absolute delight to work with Daniele during my divorce process. She is an incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate attorney. There were numerous times when I felt like giving up, but Ms. Johnson and her staff were patient and incredibly helpful. If you’re seeking a lawyer who will fierce...ly advocate for you even when you believe you’ve reached your limits, she is the one for you. She is an exceptional lawyer who delivers exceptional service.
