Wonderful and Affective Attorney -- Danette Pahl

Danette Pahl is the attorney that I would like to review. She is both a highly effective attorney and, more importantly, a wonderful human being. Danette knows what she is doing. She thoroughly researched and prepared for my divorce case, with excellent results! Because of her diligent efforts, my... divorce settlement yielded just what I had hoped for—an equitable division of the community property. I not only received half of my husband’s pension but also health insurance and $100,000. These awards exceeded my hopes! In all of her cases, Danette adds personal touches—empathy, protectiveness, and sympathy. These heartfelt personal touches incentivize her to be quite tenacious on the behalf of her clients. As may be expected, these qualities surfaced in my case. She was very sympathetic, concerned and protective. These qualities serve her well in responding to the emotional aspects of her case (i.e., the emotional turmoil of her clients, who are distressed because of their divorces). These qualities also serve to enhance Danette’s legal prowess, pushing her to be tenacious on behalf of her clients (such as myself) and meticulous in her research for the case and the execution of the legal procedures involved. Considering both her effectiveness in the legal arena and the personal touches that she brings in her approach to a case, all-in-all, she is a wonderful and effective attorney, who I would highly recommend to anyone who is undergoing a divorce or has any other family law issues. Thank you so much Danette for your support, legal prowess, and effectiveness in the legal arena!

Best lawyer we could have asked for!!!

This woman has been a Godsend! She genuinely cared for my husband and myself and most importantly his child. Her presence in the courtroom is something to be reckoned with. In the 10 year custody battle with my husbands ex, I don’t think either one of us has felt so taken care of. She thinks of every...thing and then some. She came highly recommended by another lawyer friend and she exceeding all of our hopes and put our family back together. She is the most ethical lawyer we have come in contact with, that being said if your one goal is to screw over your ex at the cost of your child(ren) this is not the lawyer for you.

The best family lawyer in Tucson

Danette provided a professional experience I will never forget. Within the first five minutes of meeting her, she scheduled a hearing for me. I am in the military, so I did not have many opportunities to travel to Tucson, but she consistantly kept me well informed. During court proceedings, she wa...s extremely proficient and well prepared. Because of her, I managed to get everything I asked for in court. In addition, $3,500 in attorney fees were awarded to me by the court. I would definately recommend her for anyone attemting to gain custody of his or her child.

Worst lawyer in Tucson

She was nice until we got a $23,000 bill for a $5000 job. Liar and a cheat. Stay away. These other reviews are written by her friends. Most hated lawyer by judges in Tucson.
