Highly Recommend

My husband was in immigration detention for 18 months, and thanks to this attorney, I was finally able to pick him up — he is now home. In such a short period of time, she was able to achieve what felt impossible. Her professionalism, determination, and efficiency truly made the difference in our ...case. I am deeply grateful for her hard work and support during such a difficult time. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a strong and reliable immigration attorney.

Excellent Attorney with great compassion

My brother was arrested for federal charges of felon in possession of a firearm and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. He was facing decades in prison. We were all terrified. Danica is representing him, and she has gone above and beyond to make sure that my brother is safe while in custody, an...d she fights for him to get the respect and dignity that every person deserves. She takes the time to explain the status of his case, and it is clear to me that she is passionate about fighting for freedom and compassionate with her clients and their family members. I recommend Danica to anyone facing criminal charges who wants diligent and responsive counsel who will fight for freedom at every turn.

Highly recommend

I was charged with the federal crime of Smuggling/Importation. The government wanted me to do 6-12 months of jail time. I was scared, especially because my girlfriend is pregnant with a high-risk pregnancy so she is not working right now. I explained everything to Ben and Danica. They told me what... to expect, helped me through every step of the process, and when I got sentenced, I never had to do any jail time! I recommend these attorneys.

I have a federal charge for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. I was charged with dozens of people and was facing ten years in federal prison. I worked with Danica for three years as my case progressed. She saw that I was scared and showed compassion while also being honest about what she thou...ght would happen. She and Ben worked with the Bail Project to get me bond, so I could get out of custody on pre-trial release and go to treatment for my addiction. Over the years since then, Danica has encouraged me in my path to recovery, and kept me informed as we went through the legal proceedings. Eventually, I pled guilty and was sentenced to three years, which is about 7 less than the government initially asked from the judge. My lawyers worked with the AUSA to get me the best recommendation possible, and helped me understand each step of the process. I also got an RDAP recommendation, which should shave about 12 months off of my sentence. 10 years down to 2 is better than I could have hoped for! My lawyers truly cared about me and my future, kept me informed, were quick to respond to my inquiries, and got me a great outcome. I recommend Danica to anyone with a federal charge, a drug charge, anyone who is afraid of doing time in custody, or who wants a compassionate and fierce advocate on their side!
