Jennifer Michele Daniel

I hired Jennifer Daniel to prepare my Estate Plan. I had experienced profound grief after the death of my first wife of thirty years, followed by another marriage three years later, while I was still struggling with various stages of grief. Before I got married again, six years later, I contacted ...Jennifer Daniel. She provided clarity to my legal circumstances, explained the tax implications of my actions, identified my risks and then, prepared my Estate Plan, including a properly funded Trust, Pour Over Will and Powers of Attorney. The best part, is that she took a very delicate subject and counseled me; and then explained it to my wife and I together, as a couple so that my we could fully appreciate the practical, clinical and essential reasons for signing the documents for our mutual protection, emotional comfort and financial preservation. She also gave us both comfort in explaining that there will NEVER be any reason for our children to fight over our estate after we are gone because our estate plan was completely comprehensive. She took the mystery and the angst out a complicated subject and has continued to provide updates on changes in the law; she has reviewed new personal and financial information as changes happen in our lives and she has continued to help both my wife and me by providing any necessary Amendments or Restatements, so that we never have to worry about the unknown. She is always available for consultation and never makes me or my wife feel uncomfortable about asking questions. I am always grateful for her counsel and her instructions are always easy to follow. The best part, is that my Estate Plan is a completely personal, customized plan and she completely administered the funding from our resources. She left nothing to the imagination. Every detail was done by her according to our needs and expectations. She did not just add our names to a bunch of pre drafted documents and print them out. She told us up-front what to expect, what she would do, what it would cost and the reasons why it would provide maximum protection and security. She made sure my wife and I understood everything with no reservations, fears, doubts, fluff, gray areas or misunderstandings to keep us up at night. I have referred her to several personal friends and they had the same result - no pretenses. She is a brilliant, honest, professional and a credit to her industry. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Have worked with a variety of different attorneys over the years. Jennifer has been easily the most effective, focused and consistent in temperament and strategic in approach of all. I was in a contentious conservator case with a difficult ex-wife which handicapped me due to our past history that te...sted me to maintain perspective and be patient. As I experience Jennifer's declarations before the court - they were highly professional (tightly written), deep in her understanding of both my situation while anticipating and framing issues effectively that allowed the court to understand my and my special-needs daughter's desires for our relationship. In the face of my obstinate and uncooperative ex-wife, Jennifer was able to move not only my ex-wife off her strident positions but she had the additional challenge to convince a judge who normally did not wish to mandate visitation compliance... to work with us. Securing the judges engagement on visitation took patience, perseverance and cooperative work with the court appointed attorney for my daughter to truly see the opportunities that were best for my daughter. She moved my daughter's attorney from not seeing the value in my request to becoming an advocate of me before the court and my ex-wife's attorney. No small task! The non-compromising position of my ex-wife pushed my case to an evidentiary hearing before the judge. Her guidance to me and the clarity of her questions to the witnesses and myself were spot-on to the salient points we were after. Which the court responded affirmatively to. The bottom-line. Jennifer earned my complete trust and confidence in judgement. She also brought her compassion and empathy that was real and proven. She is amazing. My encouragement is that you as a potential client provide clear information stripped out of any emotional leftovers you might have. If you do your engagement will be eminently satisfying thanks to the exemplary skills she brings to the task. Did I prevail? Not quite. We secured a court order that allows me to continue my relationship with my daughter almost exactly as I had hoped - unfortunately my ex-wife still is throwing roadblocks. However it turns out, I am satisfied that the best that can be done...has been done. THANK YOU JENNIFER!

I have worked with Jennifer on Several transactions over the years and I have found her to be excellent in all areas. What I feel separates her from many Attorneys in this field that I have worked with in the past is her individual and caring approach to her clients. They are genuinely people who are... dealing with grief and feeling overwhelmed by the situations and She treats them not only with respect but in a caring and guiding manner

As a Professional Fiduciary, I have had the pleasure of having Ms. Daniel as my attorney for several years on a wide range of cases touching on most every aspect of probate law. Taking each element of the AVVO rating system, Ms. Daniel is trustworthy. She is honest in her evaluations and can always... be counted on to be clear and forthright in every respect. Jennifer and her office staff keep me well informed on every aspect of my cases. She is prompt in returning phone calls and responding to emails, so I am never in the dark about matters related to my cases. Ms. Daniel rightly has a reputation as an accomplished, ethical and knowledgeable attorney in her area of practice and she has guided me with great skill though my various legal matters. I feel privileged to be represented by a woman who combines knowledge and skill with humanity and humor.

I had some matters having to do with real estate and a family trust that I put off handling for quite a few years. It was really complicated and I couldn't begin to sort it all out. I know the thought of retaining an attorney seems expensive and scary. It is hard to make the decision to get expert ...help (unless it is an emergency). It's much easier to put it off and hope things will work themselves out and you won't have to spend the money. This is what I did.....and it only made things worse. Luckily, I asked around and was referred to Jennifer Daniel. I can't say enough good things about the ENTIRE process. At our first appointment, I felt at ease and confident she was going to be able to resolve the issues. Professional and very smart but still friendly, caring and human is the best way I can describe Jennifer. It only took two meetings (initial consult and one with my mother) to get everything taken care of. I always got a quick reply to my questions via email or phone. My mother felt so comfortable that she decided to have a will drawn up. This was my first experience with an attorney and I was pleasantly surprised. I am happy to have found someone I trust for future issues that may arise.
