Someone to help when you need it.

Danielle helped me when I needed it most, injured in a car accident. The other driver’s insurance company offered a tiny fraction of what we eventually were able to get from them. Danielle pushed not only to get the maximum possible settlement from the insurance company, she also fought to get my med...ical bills reduced. This maximized the amount I received. She and Christy did an excellent job explaining the process, keeping me updated, and fighting to get me compensated. I highly recommend Danielle and Spiros Law Firm for anyone who needs help after an injury. I volunteered to be in a commercial for her to share how happy I am with the work she and her team did for me!

Car accident

My family was involved in a horrible accident. We hired Spiro and worked with Danielle. She was great! Answered all our questions and was always quick with a response! She got a settlement that took care of our medical bills and then some! I would highly recommend Danielle!

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.
