Law firm was very easy to work with. Professional and handle all my legal needs in a timely manner. Will work with again in the future Highly recommended!
I cannot stress how much of a lovely experience I had with Danielle Feller at Daly Mills. I had gone to another attorney before her and basically paid $1500 to be told they couldn't help me. Danielle cleaned up that mess and completed the rest of the estate work. She was amazing at communication. I not once had to reach out and request her follow up.She is also just a kind and easy to work with person. I've not worked with many attorneys in my life but I was nervous about the whole thing. She took a mess of a situation that had been stressing me out and exhausting me for the better part of a year + and resolved it.While I hope I never need help with estate matters again, I cannot reccomend this law office enough. If you want a competent attorney who is also thorough and kind, this is the place.
Miranda and her team were amazing to me! I was always kept up to date with my case, they always answered any questions I had, and Miranda was always thoroughly prepared. She has walked me through every step of my case and thanks to her and her team, we are preparing for my husband to adopt my oldest child! I would highly recommend Miranda and Daly Mills Family Law.
When my dad passed unexpectedly and without a will, I was lost. It was by chance, and I think fate, that I ran across Danielle and Nicole. They took care of everything that legally needed to be done. At one point, I sent Danielle a message on a Sunday not expecting a reply until at least Monday. She answered me right away. That was impressive!My business with them just came to a close ... that part is kind of sad. Competent, friendly and supportive. I would highly recommend their services.
I have had a great experience working with Danielle Feller and would highly recommend her expertise. Danielle is kind, detailed, sharp and very thorough. She is a hard worker and very prompt with her responses. I always enjoyed interacting with her over many months. Her sister Nicole who also works at Daly Mills in the front office is also a delight and very helpful. Everyone here seemed very professional and I would not hesitate to partner with their office again in the future.
We came to Daly Mills needing assistance with 2 estates. They have been so helpful and knowledgeable, and really relieved a lot of the stress and fear we had concerning the estate process. We are so grateful to Danielle and her team!
If you need a grandparents rights attorney, may I suggest Miranda Mills. She impressed me with her caring manner and professionalism. Should another need arise, I will be choosing Daly Mills Law Firm. Highly recommend.
Daly Mills Family law firm was appointed by a judge to handle my sister's estate. Danielle Feller represented us through the 10 month seamless process. From our first meeting she laid out what she needed from us and what we were going to expect. She genuinely cares about her clients and wants the best outcome for them. She and her bubbly receptionist, Nicole were able to balance empathy for our situation and being professional at getting the job done. Truly the best family lawyer I have worked with! I have recommended her countless times to friends, family and fellow bankers in the area, and I highly recommend her to anyone searching for the best family lawyer.-Michele W.
The staff is very accommodating, kind and sweet. They displayed patience and understanding of what I was trying to accomplish.The timeliness of all completed requested was excellent and they met my deadlines. Great staff.
These Ladies make you feel at home since the very first time . Attorneys and staff are so helpful and friendly like no one I’ve ever met in this business , they have practically saved me and saved me financially .
My husband and I searched and searched for an Estate planning Attorney that would make sense, explain and change some of the documents we had from two previous attorneys. Someone was looking out for us the day I found Daly Mills.Danielle Feller was just what we were looking for. Compassionate, intelligent , extremely organized the list goes on and on. We now can rest, reassured that everything is in order. We can’t speak highly enough of her staff. They created a warm inviting atmosphere that says…you are in good hands here at Daly Mills.
The testimonials listed are not all the feedback the firm has received. Each case is unique and must be evaluated on its individual merits. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
