"I have never come upon an attorney who is as approachable, responsive,
client-focused, thorough and thoughtful as Ms. Van Ess. She explicitly
explained all of her work to us and ensured our understanding of every
action she took and every document she executed. I highly recommend
her." -Laura 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 and 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. I recommend her for
your family's estate planning needs." -Patrick 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 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
