Compassionate, authentic and an expert in her field

Becoming a single mother unexpectedly has been one of the hardest things I have done in my life. Navigating a divorce during an incredibly vulnerable time was painful and challenging, but Danielle guided me in the right direction. Danielle never told me what to do, she would explain the options and a...sk how I felt we should proceed. She would check in with how I was coping, listen and be supportive. She showed me kindness and humanism from a place I least expected. My situation was unfortunately prolonged for reasons out of our control, but Danielle and her team were always timely and concise with every succession. Nobody wins in a divorce, but her authenticity and support helped me execute what needed to be done and be at peace with my decision. There should be more people in this world like Danielle; I am grateful for her expertise and our connection. She has been a breath of fresh air throughout the entire process.

Danielle N. Murray is a superb attorney; there is no one I would've rather had by my side during my immensely difficult divorce. I was faced with a spiteful, uncooperative ex who seemed more interested in making me suffer through a drawn-out divorce than actually saving himself time and money. Daniel...le was with me every step of the way, clearly explaining my options, responding promptly to my questions and concerns, and working hard to do whatever was in my best interest. She is extremely compassionate, knowledgeable, and resolute. I never once doubted her dedication to my case. A divorce, especially one like mine, is an exhausting struggle. I felt very lucky to have Danielle's support, guidance, and representation.

I hired Danielle for my divorce case. This wasn’t a simple divorce (in my eyes anyway). My ex was a dry drunk, narcissistic, mentally and physically abusive just to name a few issues. I had two children under 5 when the process began. She was there for me every step of the way (usually several times ...a day, night and some weekends when things got very bad). If you want realistic legal advice, she is your person. She never misguided me and clearly laid out my option and the subsequent possible repercussions of said options, so I always went into every decision with open eyes. Her dedication to her profession and my case made me feel like her only client (which I definitely was not). I would highly recommend Danielle.

Professional, Attentive and served MY best interests!

Danielle was great ensuring I was informed with any updates regarding my case as soon as she received them. She always made herself available to listen to my needs and fight for them. Facing the possibility of losing parenting time, Danielle was able to limit my time lost to an inconsequential amount... and actually gain time in areas I previously did not have. I walked out of the case in a better position than I walked in. I am grateful to have had Danielle in my corner!
