Excellent

If you are fortunate enough for Mrs. Thompson to agree to take your case, you will discover that her impressive technical knowledge of the law is outmatched only by her care for her client’s best interest and more importantly the innocent children stuck in the middle of a relentless legal battle. M...oney can’t make someone care, but you can hire the right person who will care. I had to let go of my previous counsel for a multitude of reasons. It was a difficult decision however I realized that if I had made this change earlier not only would it have saved me wasted money but may have altered the legal path all together. Mrs. Thompson discussed options with me that I never knew existed. This is where the technical knowledge of the law and the willingness to care for your clients merge. I am still learning from her and although the legal process is painful and risky, I learned by comparison that I am in very good hands. That’s what you would buy if you could. Mrs. Thompson was recommended to me by another attorney who opposed her in court previously and lost. He recommended only 3 attorneys from Lake Charles to Baton Rouge. Mrs. Thompson was first on his list. Make your short list carefully and retain her if you can.

Best in town

If you want an attorney that goes to bat for you, ms Thompson is the one. I'm currently going through what can be described as a messy divorce and custody battle where my soon to be ex-wife has used our son against me. Awaiting the mitigation she has refused to let me see my son, dictated when/what t...ime of day I'm allowed to ask about him and on several occasions made it clear that she will do anything in her power for me to get limited custody rights. Through the entire process, Ms Thompson has genuinely listened, given advice, and done everything in her power to help. My best advice is to listen to her, she knows what she is talking about, and her experience shows. Ms Thompsons knowledge, expertise and passion for her clients came to show during my mitigation. Despite allegations from my ex and everything her attorney attempted to use against me to limit my custody rights, ms Thompson sat a stop to it, and I walked out feeling like I won. I was awarded more time with my son than what I thought I would get walking into the meeting It really upset my ex-wife, which made it even better. Ms Thompson will have your back and she has definitively exceeded my expectations through this process. I highly recommend her services and expertise.

Great Lawyer

I had consultation with several lawyers having to pay $100 to $150 just to discuss my case. Not only is consultation free! But before I hired Ms. Danielle Thompson she was honest, organize, making phone calls, discovered things i didn't know & needed for my case. Before anything I am a great Mother/P...rovider & unconditionally love my daughter's but her father was granted solo custody due to me missing one court date & lies he constantly tell. That had put a strain on my daughter & I mentally, physically & emotionally. B/C of Ms. Danielle aggressiveness, concerns for a child safety/care, being smart, willing to put up a fight and not settle for anything. Ms. Danielle got me custody of my daughter back not having to go to trail also with him having a lawyer. She put my child first! Even the hearing officer was impress & had to Compliment her! I Highly! recommend her, Yes! I would hire her again and Most definitely! she's all about the child. Thanks! Ms. Danielle Thompson
