During Law School, I was a member of the Law Review and my article, “Silent Voices: Maryland Needs to Enact a Law Allowing Assisted Outpatient Treatment to Help People with Mental Illness” was published in the Probate Edition of the Baltimore Barrister Law Journal in November 2011. I was a teaching assistant for the first year Contract Law classes; led a committee of students to update and rewrite the SBA's Constitution and ByLaws; and, was the student representative on the Student Life Faculty Committee. I received the American Bar Association's award for Excellence in the Study of Labor and Employment Law; the Dean's Citation award for outstanding achievement and service to the law school; and, graduated in 2012 with honors.
During my third year of Law School I interned for the General Counsel's Office of the American Federation of Government Employee's in Washington D.C. Following law school, I had the opportunity to work as the Regional Director of the Greater Boston Area for the Massachusetts Senator Campaign.
In 2006 I graduated, with honors, from Western Michigan University with a Bachelor degree in Human Resource Management. During college I was very involved in my sorority, Sigma Kappa, and many community and civic service activities. Prior to law school I moved to Virginia and later North Carolina managing Employee Retirement Accounts for Wachovia Securities and Worker's Compensation claims for Liberty Mutual Insurance, respectively.
To be closer to family, I moved back to Michigan and currently reside in Macomb County. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family, watching sports, volunteering in the community, and scrapbooking.
I am a member of the Michigan State Bar Association including the Probate and Estate Planning Section, Macomb and Oakland County Bar Associations, and the American Bar Association.

Danielle and I shared many classes together in law school. She was, and continues to be a patient, thoughtful, and savvy legal mind. I happily endorse her.
Rachel Vogel, Elder law Attorney on Jul 9, 2013
Relationship: Friend
Danielle is a colleague of mine; we met in law school. I was impressed by her hard-working character and ability to get the task at hand completed in a efficient manner. In addition, Danielle is a great "people person" and is skilled at interviewing and counseling clients. When engaged in conversation with Danielle, she extends a sense of caring and understanding, which goes hand in hand with elderly clients. I would trust my own family to go to Danielle for their estate planning needs and would feel confident that she would go above and beyond to ensure they had a concrete estate plan in place. Not only do I endorse this lawyer, I strongly recommend her.

I knew Danielle in law school. She is a very intelligent and energetic attorney. Highly recommended.
