Client Reviews
"We decided to work with Danielle because she seemed warm & friendly, unlike other lawyers/attorneys we spoke with. Working with Danielle was different. It is very clear she cares about her work and her clients and that is something we wouldn’t necessarily expect working with an attorney on this matter. Completing our estate plan and guardianship for the kids with Danielle was quick, easy and best of all, we feel like our plan is thorough. Danielle thought out all of the details so we feel completely comfortable that our family will be taken care of. Astrid, DGVE law's Client Liaison, was very responsive, and Bari, DGVE law’s Funding Coordinator, was also very responsive and knowledgeable. We can’t believe how quick, convenient and totally painless the entire process went. All of our questions were answered throughout the process in a satisfactory way. We appreciated the level of detail that went into our estate planning (down to emergency instructions and a priceless conversation) and feeling like everything was done the right way. We have already referred Danielle and DGVE law to friends and family, many of whom live farther away in MA. We stress how thorough Danielle is and how this personal matter was handled with the utmost care and compassion. We tell them that it will be worth the extra time driving to Hingham to have their estate planning done with Danielle!"

"Perhaps the best part about working with Danielle was her depth of knowledge and the ease and comfort we had in talking with her about personal/delicate matters. Danielle is so much more personal than other attorneys we've worked with and we never felt like the clock was running out. We were impressed with the level of care and attention we received. Most of the time you'd be paying by the hour and we felt like we could relax, ask as many questions as we wanted to without the worrying about the clock ticking. We feel like we got 4 times the value in terms of what we paid! The deliverables that we received were extremely accurate, complete and truly reflected our wishes. We have to say that the Priceless Conversations are priceless! These made such a great impression on us that we have continued talking about it over and over between us and everyone else we know. We tell them how unique and moving the experience was for us. That by doing the Priceless Conversations we are able to leave them for someone in the future was remarkably touching. This is something that we consider to be invaluable and had a tremendous impact on us. We have already recommended Danielle to others and will definitely continue to do so."
-Robert Chambers & James Holland
"We have never come upon an attorney who is as approachable, responsive, client-focused, thorough and thoughtful as Danielle. She explicitly explained all of her work to us and ensured our understanding of every action she took and every document she executed. We highly recommend her." -Laura & Tom Donnelly
"We needed a lawyer to represent us in the sale of our house in a for-sale-by-owner situation. As a homeowner that had no experience with real estate transfers, we depended heavily on her legal knowledge as well as her leadership and follow-through leading up to the closing. We credit her representation for being the reason the sale went smoothly and our main relief in the stressful process of selling our home." -Jeff & Jeanne Pomeroy
"Danielle is very knowledgeable & professional. She worked with us to set up our family's will documents to appropriately provide for our children's care. She met with us at times & places convenient to us & got back to us on every question we had. She researched & explained clearly the issues in our estate plan. We recommend her for your family's estate planning needs." -Patrick & Denise Brisbane
“Danielle assisted us with our Estate Plan, which was long over-due. Danielle made the process quick, easy and painless! We truly appreciated all the tips and advice to help us choose guardians for our children. Since Danielle is a mom, she knows how hard it is to choose an appropriate guardian! Her advice really helped! Danielle was very accommodating in setting up conference calls and meeting places! I am so glad we found her! I would, and have already, recommended her to friends!” – Julie & Jamie Souliotis
"I recently went through an emotional personal legal issue, resulting from complications surrounding my deceased father's will. Danielle was incredibly helpful, giving me trustworthy advice based on her extensive experience. In addition to being knowledgeable, Danielle was tremendously compassionate, understanding that this situation was fraught with emotion and that I was upset, confused and unfamiliar with the complicated legal process. In contrast, I had to work with another attorney in my father's home state, who turned out to be the complete OPPOSITE of Danielle. His first questions were about how much money I had to cover his fees. The next words out of his mouth were about how I had to send a huge retainer up front before he'd even consider taking the case. He was clearly more interested in the money than he was in helping me through a tense, difficult situation. My conversations with him just spotlighted how unique and special Danielle is. It's rare, I think, to find a smart, savvy, experienced attorney who is also nice, personable and compassionate. I would enthusiastically recommend Danielle Van Ess." -Adrienne Walkowiak

“Danielle was so easy to talk to; I was
able to ask her any question, disclose any embarrassing issue, and just be
myself without fear of judgment or even an odd look. She was so warm and
comforting. It was such a relief to be able to ask all the estate
planning questions that have ever haunted you and know you are not only getting
great advice, but having it explained so that it was easily understood.
Danielle gave me the peace of mind that everything is taken care of if I get
very sick or die. It is such a relief to know that my loved ones will be
provided for AND that they will not have to deal with trying to guess my plans
or wishes. It is such an amazing feeling to have that weight lifted.
I am an attorney myself, so I have worked with many attorneys – however,
this is the first time I had to hire an attorney (other than the closing on my
house and I barely spoke to the guy). She is so very real and
authentic. She is a joy to work with. I already have recommended
her to at least 2 friends! Danielle gave us the best legal service
possible and did so in a way that is approachable and comforting – not strange,
off-putting or scary.” –Lydia Watts
