The best. A+++

Real review from an actual client. I'll keep it short and sweet. A genuine interest and compassion for your case. Extremely attentive. Keeps your head out of the clouds and focused on realistic solutions and outcomes. Aggressive yet professional. My name is J.R. and I was a client from 2014-2016 for... my custody matter. I couldn't be happier with my outcome.

Referral

I have known Danielle for many years and I referred many clients to Danielle. I have made that referral because I know the intellect and character of Danielle to be at the highest levels and all of the clients I have referred to Danielle they have found Danielle's service to be at the highest levels... of her profession and they have received great value from her services.

Fantastic Attorney and Law Firm

I would recommend Danielle and her firm for any of your family law needs. She was always easy to communicate with via phone, e-mail, text, etc. and she was considerate to the needs of not only myself but my children as well. All legal filings were extremely thorough and timely. Danielle was extremel...y professional in court hearings and with opposing counsel. If I should ever need assistance in the future I would not hesitate to hire her once again. The firm as a whole is amazing on every level. I will be forever grateful to her for everything she did for me and my family!

Divorce

Danielle has been great to work with. She took on my case mid stream as my first attorney fell ill, she jumped right in as if she had worked with me from the beginning of this long divorce of approx. 3 years. When I felt like I couldn't do it anymore she was always there with encouraging words . She... has always been quick to respond to my questions and concerns and to put my mind at ease when in doubt. I greatly appreciate all of her hard efforts into getting my situation resolved and being not only my attorney but now a great friend. Her hard work has paid off and I am thankful that she was my attorney during this most difficult time.

Complex Divorce Case

Danielle litigated a very difficult and lengthy case that went to a 7 day trial. It had immensely difficult child related issues, very complicated monetary controversies, and many emotional matters. Throughout the duration of this case, Danielle always remained fair and honest and was always overly... prepared. She was up front with me about all aspects of the case so there were no total surprises one way or another. Danielle was easy to work with and I knew that she was doing everything that she could to fight for me and what was best for both me and my children.

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.
