"Being in my (not quite ready to admit to myself I've recently moved from mid to late) 20s who rents and has very basic accounts, I didn't think I had any important enough "stuff" to have any sort of estate plan in place until I started working at DGVE law in 2021 and saw the value. I quickly learned that there's a right sized plan for everyone. Since doing my Young Adult Estate Plan with Danielle, I definitely feel peace of mind knowing that all of my detailed wishes are captured for my loved ones and no one in my family would ever have to worry or wonder. I highly recommend Danielle & DGVE law as I've seen, not only as an employee but also as a client, how genuine, supportive, and professional the whole team is."
"As a real estate lawyer who does not handle estate planning, Danielle and her team are my go-to referrals for helping my clients with their estate planning. Danielle is well regarded in the Mass Bar as one of the top estate planning attorneys in the entire state. Plus she’s just a great person overall and active in her community. Everything you would want as a lawyer."
"I'm shocked by the amount of 5 stars given to this law firm. I have never written a bad review in my life but this one needed to be posted as we lost a lot of money. We enthusiastically hired Danielle to complete the will and trust for our family of 5. She seemed kind and extremely knowledgeable. We handed over a check for $7,000. When we sat with her in a meeting in 2021 to sign all the paperwork to assure our assets were securely in a trust, my husband and I left feeling really good. One year later, Danielle contacted us via a very lengthy and confusing trail of emails to say we only had a will and still needed to put everything in a trust and that we must have "dropped the ball" and that "we were confused." Danielle quoted us an additional $1,500 to complete the trust. There was no email, no follow up phone call from Danielle or her team stating that this vital next step needed to be taken. We paid $7,000 to have our trust buttoned up. Instead we got a will. The average cost for a will in MA is $200-$600."
"I’m not only the Paralegal but I’m also a client…I can’t recommend DGVE law enough! Even as a young professional without many complexities, Danielle really educates you on what is suitable to your unique family and financial circumstances to ensure the plan is tailored to your needs and goals and eases you through the process. No detail is too small and each document captures your wishes entirely. Danielle is thorough and truly cares about her clients and you’ll see that from the very first meeting with her. As a part of the DGVE law team, I see first hand how much effort every member of the team puts forth and how fulfilling it is to be part of such an important process to bring clients true peace of mind. Whether it is planning for the inevitable or administering a loved one’s estate, we care about our clients and are always ready to help in any way we can as professionals."
"The DGVE team did a fantastic job of guiding my mom through an update to her estate plan. Danielle’s empathy and listening skills let her get right to the heart of Mom’s concerns so that she could craft documents tailored to our family’s situation. Rachel and Amber kept the process moving professionally and efficiently throughout. In contrast to attorneys who charge by the hour, DGVE’s fee is fixed. Despite this, Danielle was very generous with her time, making sure we understood the options and were comfortable with our choices at every step of the process before moving on. We never felt rushed."
