Danya Mara Farinella

Having so much on the line riding on my case, I didn’t want to compromise my legal defense. I researched many different lawyers and off a hunch, I decided to go with Danya. She was able to make me feel so comfortable, considering how stressful my situation was. I did everything she recommended which ...resulted in my case being completely dismissed. It didn’t matter how long my issue took to resolve, she would not settle for anything less than our goal. Not only did we achieve our goal, she was also able to negotiate having my restitution completely dropped, which saved me 5 figures and years of payments in itself. To say I couldn’t be happier with Danya would be an understatement. If I were to do it all over again, I would not have changed a thing. I owe my career and reputation to this woman and will forever be grateful for her service. She wasn’t just my lawyer, she’s a true friend and a great person.

One of the most frightening tasks that my family was faced with was knowing an attorney was needed for a family member's charges. I had no choice but to depend on reviews as I had no connection with an attorney. Danya's reviews over and over spoke of her professionalism, attention to detail, and kind...ness. They were not wrong, Danya listened and never rushed me as I told her of the situation. This process is hard and there are times you want and need answers but this takes time. No call was ever an inconvenience to her. She would listen and explain if she needed to and encourage us to be patient and think positively. We hit gold with Danya, we received the phone call that all charges were dropped yesterday 1/25 and we can breathe and move on in a positive light. Don't be afraid of the expense as sometimes we just have to have the best and not a court-appointed attorney. Danya thank you again, you are an expert in your field. I am so happy I read your reviews and made that scary call, you deserve a million stars. I hope I help someone make that same decision. You won't be sorry.

Danya, was Fantastic Criminal Lawyer for me. From the beginning to the end. She explained the Firms Fees, to me, right up front at the beginning. She explained to me, what I can expect throughout the process. She offered ideas and knew of community methods, that would help me in my case. She would ...call me on occasion and especially before each court appearance (which by the way, I never had to attended), to go over matters in my case. And when, my case was finally resolved, she immediately called me to give me the Good News. Honestly, at the beginning, I was scared, traumatized and shaken by what happened to me. Nothing like, what I was charged with, had ever happened to me. Getting Danya's help, put me at ease and by just talking with her, made me feel, I have the right person, representing me. Danya, is very easily accessible, by text, phone, Email or even a visit to her office and always returned messages, should I have left one. I HIGHLY recommend Danya for any case, like mine (I'm sure she great, in all her other expertise of the law), and would not hesitate to tell anyone else, I know, that when it comes to Criminal Law, she is, in my opinion, THE BEST!

My incident happened outside of the county where I live so I knew nothing about the court system in Pinellas County much less any attorneys in the area. I did some research literally from my car after reporting to pretrial services. I made two phone calls, spoke with an attorney (male) and inquired ...about cost for representation. While he took the time to listen and explain the process with me I was still scared and not sure what to do, but then on my drive home Danya returned my call and almost immediately I felt a sense of relief. As a female, I needed and wanted to explain my situation to another female. Danya listened to all my concerns, answered all my questions and from what I had read about the firm she worked with, I felt confident that she was the person I needed to “protect” me from anything bad happening. She called me from her personal phone number and allowed me to remain in contact with her through the completion of my case. She acted swiftly and got me the best possible outcome. As a result, no charges were filed against me and the case was dismissed in 18 days. While it cost me considerably more to retain Danya she was worth every dollar spent. Danya was professional yet still very easy to talk to. Not once did I feel like she wasn’t listening to me or my concerns, and that is the biggest reason why I hired her. That is why I titled this review TOP NOTCH. She was amazing!
