Danielle M. Sawyer – Attorney/Associate

Danielle's transparent legal approach provides our clients with a profound sense of security and hope about their futures. As part of the team, Danielle offers trusted legal guidance through a broad range of real estate, estate and tax planning, and estate administration matters. She works primarily with individuals, families, and businesses, along with their accountants, financial advisors, and plan administrators to ensure that each strategic plan is tailored specifically to the needs of our clients.

 

Prior to joining Giordano & Gagne, Danielle was a solo practitioner. She also worked in firms throughout Delaware where she developed personalized estate plans (including trusts, wills, power of attorney, advance health care directives, corporate documents and deeds) for her clients to protect and preserve their assets and minimize federal estate and income taxes. Danielle began her legal career as a legal assistant/paralegal. She gained a wide range of experience in estate planning, estate and trust administration, real estate, and business law prior to becoming an attorney.

 

Danielle received her Juris Doctorate, cum laude, from Widener University Delaware Law School where, as an evening division student, she was President of the Moot Court Honor Society, a member of Transactional Law Honor Society, and winner of the Fall 2018 Alternative Dispute Resolution Competition. Danielle received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Delaware in 2012 and she earned her Paralegal Certificate in 2013 from the University of Delaware's Division of Professional and Continuing Studies.

 

Outside of work, Danielle enjoys spending quality time with friends and family, along with cheering on her favorite sports teams: the Philadelphia Phillies, Flyers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. She also volunteers as a judge for interscholastic competitions for Widener University Delaware Law School.
