I have collaborated with the lawyer for more than 2 years, in many cases. Our relationship continues even now and she still advises me. She is a consummate professional, a young lawyer with enormous potential and I am firmly convinced that she will reach the top 3, at least, of the best civil law lawyers in the country next year. As advice - avoid large law firms, where everything is strictly commercial. I speak from experience in my files and not only. Several of her clients share the same opinion. In addition, she shows great strength, courage in court, is elegant and shows a lot of empathy (necessary in high-stakes trials - children, custody, forced executions, etc., especially). I recommend Daniela very warmly, sincerely and with the greatest love!
