Testimonials

Danielle was such a blessing for me in regards to my child support dispute with my daughter’s father. From the very first time we spoke regarding my case, she put me at complete ease and made me feel very comfortable communicating with her. It was certainly one of the most stressful periods of my life, but the confidence and acumen she displayed throughout the whole process assured me that all our work together would end in am good results. I was so impressed the morning of our day in court. She was so well prepared, explaining to me different strategies she could employ if things went this way or that. Although I was so nervous before entering court, I felt ever so confident knowing how well prepared she was, which gave me confidence as well. In the end we were given the results that we were asking for. What more can I say? I would not have imagined having anyone better on my side fighting for me! Jessica

Danielle Davis was my attorney during my recent divorce. Danielle is an excellent attorney who brings a substantial amount of common sense and legal knowledge to my divorce. During every step of the process, she could always be counted on to provide several options and then provide her best recommendation going forward. I believe my divorce was considered “high conflict” and through it all, Danielle provided sage advice and counsel. We avoided court and settled at mediation which no doubt saved me many thousands of dollars in legal fees. I would definitely recommend her and her team to anybody who is in need of an excellent divorce lawyer. James

Danielle created an excellent prenup for me. I spent about 100 hours researching law relating to prenups on my own before hiring her (after interviewing two other lawyers for this). I was not disappointed, she left no stone unturned. At one point, I asked her to imagine that she was an attorney trying to break this prenup, but she already thinks this way when she’s designing it.

I ended up with an excellent product (for a good price). Although no prenup is 100%, I sleep much better at night and feel much more relaxed getting married knowing that we have laid out what would happen in a divorce ahead of time. Thanks! Ben
