Child Custody Case

I would not recommend this law firm to anyone. I retained Danielle for a very difficult child custody case. The first document she sent me to get notarized had another client's name on it, which I had to point out. Then she corrected the name and resent me to the document to sign and get notarized ag...ain. This time I had to point out that she still left another state, and county on the document. I believe if I pay someone $3,000 to do a good job for me, they could at least make sure MY NAME is on that court document and my state and county are correct. She filed a couple of documents with the court after I had proofread them, and she charged me $1,500 for that. I then had to retain another lawyer and pay another hefty retainer fee in order to feel a little more comfortable that my attorney would be competent enough to provide the services I paid for.

Diligence and perseverance

I was referred to Scarlett Law from a dear friend, Danielle had helped her resolve a serious custody issue a few years prior. My first impression was the wisdom and knowledge Danielle brings to the table from her years as a litigator as well as prosecutor. Danielle's team are as easy to work with as ...she is and were committed to our common goal. I had to take legal action when my former wife decided to withhold visitation and would not reason together for a solution. Danielle worked diligently to resolve this at every step. Danielle's team worked with me to collect all the information needed throughout the court process and were in contact to assist in drafting court documents. I was well aware from the start of litigation that this would most likely be going all the wat to trial. With Danielle's perseverance, even through a few rough patches, we were successful in a very favorable outcome from the judge! I did not expect any miracles in this endeavor, my only hope was to reunite with my kiddo and secure my time with her. Thanks to Danielle and her great staff in what seemed like the longest year! I recommend Danielle, especially to Dad's in need of quality representation.

Custody

Danielle has been amazing, this was my third time in a custody battle with my ex husband but my first time having Danielle in my corner. Danielle listened to me and fought for me and my son. She really cares about the children involved and want the best outcome for them. I have recently recommended h...er and I will continue to recommend her. She has significant experience in custody cases and she files everything in a timely manner. If your in need of a lawyer she is the one you want I know you won’t be disappointed.

A good lawyer

Daniel took on my case when the Covid issues were at the peak and also while setting up her new office. While it may not have been the smoothest experience I have had with a lawyer, she persevered and got a parenting plan that was very fair. Thank you Scarlett for the work you did. I know it was not ...easy.

Very grateful!

Recently, I contacted Danielle for a free consultation about my family case. She was very informative to say the least. She actually listened to me and was able to empathize with my situation . I finally was able to get answers to my questions instead of , " I dont know", or " I'm not too sure". Fro...m our conversation, I can tell she is definitely a fighter and doesnt try to give you the run- around. She is confident, considerate. and helpful in every way . A person that you definitely want and need in your corner, especially with the type of case I am fighting. I highly recommend Danielle to fight for you!
