I chose Mrs. Danielle Thompson to represent me with my divorce, and custody of my children. She has given me excellent legal counsel, she listened to my situation and told me the step by step process and had kept me up to date with everything. I love her and would definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking for an excellent attorney.

Danielle has been there for me and my kids. She took my calls at inconvenient hours, listened to my rants, and cared enough to get invested in my situation. I couldn't have asked for more from a lawyer. She worked extremely hard on my case and got the result I wanted...domicile coustody of my kids. We have more to go but I'm confident in her ability to get the rest of this divorce wrapped up with good results. She is professional, brutally honest and caring, just what I needed. I highly recommend her and her firm.

My grandmother came to me after 61 years of marriage asking for my help, disclosing decades of abuse, intimidation and control at the hands of my grandfather. She needed an attorney and I KNEW I had to find the PERFECT advocate for this brave woman who decided to finally break her silence and ultimately find freedom at 77 years old. My search began...I dug through case files, reviews, social media, etc. After a week of research and digging there was no doubt in my mind Mrs. Thompson was the best choice. Fast-forward 6 months into the process and we could not be happier with her firm's service and results. When this woman walks into a room, her presence captures everyone's attention. She is professional, tactful and honestly she has single handedly restored my grandmother's confidence in herself and her joy in life in general. I have overheard, on 2 different occasions, fellow attorneys speaking of Mrs. Thompson in the courthouse hallways and each time, they have expressed respect, admiration and pretty much fear of her "kicking a@# and taking names" persona. EXACTLY the person you want on YOUR side as your advocate. We can never truly express our gratitude to Mrs. Thompson and her firm.

If you are fortunate enough for Mrs. Thompson to agree to take your case, you will discover that her impressive technical knowledge of the law is outmatched only by her care for her client’s best interest and more importantly the innocent children stuck in the middle of a relentless legal battle. Money can’t make someone care, but you can hire the right person who will care. I had to let go of my previous counsel for a multitude of reasons. It was a difficult decision however I realized that if I had made this change earlier not only would it have saved me wasted money but may have altered the legal path all together. Mrs. Thompson discussed options with me that I never knew existed. This is where the technical knowledge of the law and the willingness to care for your clients merge. I am still learning from her and although the legal process is painful and risky, I learned by comparison that I am in very good hands. That’s what you would buy if you could. Mrs. Thompson was recommended to me by another attorney who opposed her in court previously and lost. He recommended only 3 attorneys from Lake Charles to Baton Rouge. Mrs. Thompson was first on his list. Make your short list carefully and retain her if you can.

Mrs. Thompson has been a life saver! I hired her hesitant to do so because I had it in my mind that this divorce/custody would be cordial and easy but that was not the case. She listened to me at the beginning and respected my request and decisions and when I finally realized I needed to fight she was there ready and made me feel less stressed and guided me in a way that helped ease the stress through this draining process. Her and her staff are amazing and turn around time for phone calls, emails and filing were in reasonable time. I would recommended her to EVERYONE! Thanks again Mrs. Thompson for EVERYTHING!

I highly recommend Mrs. Thompson! She represented me for my divorce and I am very happy that I chose her. She is extremely confidant, to the point and does her job well. She listened to me and helped me understand the legal terms that I didn’t understand. She fought (and won) for me to get the things that I wanted and deserved from my marriage. I truly appreciate everything she and her team have done for me!

I strongly recommend that you choose this attorney when making a dicision to take your ex spouce to court. Mrs Thompson has the experience for the task at hand. Mrs Thompson exercised this knowledge by getting my facts and prioritized them by backing me up in the court. She expressed her concerns and had my fullest interest for me and my kids. If you are a Male and does what a responsible parent should do Mrs Thompson is definitely an experienced attorney for you!!
