This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Lawyer

Danielle created all our living legal documents, Family Trust, Living Will, Power of Attorney, for my wife and I as we entered retirement. Her command of the legal language on her documentation is impressive and she instills trust in all of her communications during the process. She manages the compl...icated and makes our involvement simple. Several years after we hired her we wanted to change some of the terms and benefactors. While it took several emails to dial in the changes, Danielle was prompt and thorough and again made the process simple for us. My wife and I are totally pleased with her services and we highly recommend her. She is a delightful and personable attorney.

Exceptional Attorney

I was presented with a dubious invoice for attorney's fees (not Danielle's, obviously) and not knowing what was 'reasonable' in the State of AZ (I live out of State, but needed to file in AZ) Danielle evaluated my fees thoroughly, provided feedback, and in record time. She also helped me summate key ...points for discussion, and paved a road to future next steps. Not to mention, her overall approach was one of 'How can I help you' over 'How much money will I make.' She is head and shoulders above all others I've recently spoken to in her field, with a critical set of ethics you'd want in an attorney (or any business partner). And she really knows probate process inside and out. I can't recommend her enough. Plain and simple: Hire her.

Blessed to have Danielle come into our lives.

My wife and I found ourselves in a complicated legal situation with limited funds and we lucky enough to be referred to Danielle. From our fist interaction with Danielle, we knew we were with the right attorney for us, and we were thrilled to get someone with her experience and divers skill set, for ...roughly half of what we were expecting to pay. While our legal matters have yet to be concluded, she has been consistently ahead of the other attorneys involved in the case, and has quickly earned our confidence. We appreciate very much her taking a budget conscious approach to our lawsuit and billing far less than she could have. It sounds corny, but we think she really cares. We could not recommend her more and I can't imaging any time in the future when she will not be my first call for any legal work.

Exceptional Attorney

I hired Ms Graham to represent me and my business. She was diligent, detail oriented and exceptionally well prepared. Although the legal matter has been resolved in my favor, I will continue to retain Ms Graham as my attorney.

Excellent lawyer!!

Mrs. Graham represented me in several different real estate matters, from a quiet title action to a lender settlement agreement. She drafted contracts,LLC operating agreements,and represented me in a civil action case. They were all done efficiently and professionally with excellent outcomes. Her f...ees are very reasonable and most importantly,she always answers her phone or will call you back fairly quickly. I work with other attorneys in different states, and I must say that Mrs. Graham is the most organized and friendly attorney I have ever worked with. I highly recommend her.
