Danielle is a dedicated family law attorney and a trained and certified mediator.  She focuses her practice exclusively on family law, representing individuals and mediating family law matters in both Maine and Massachusetts. Danielle is experienced in pre-nuptial agreements, post-nuptial agreements, divorce, paternity, child custody, modifications, contempt actions, and jurisdictional analyses of family law in Maine and Massachusetts.  She resolves the majority of her cases without the need for court intervention, and is compassionate about helping clients navigate that process, as well as the court process, if needed.

In both her representation of clients and as a mediator, Danielle focuses on financially thoughtful and child-centric resolutions. Danielle understands that being a family law attorney involves so much more than practicing law. She takes the time to get to know and connect with her clients, she is dedicated to providing her clients with the tools and information they need to make informed decisions, and she is an unwavering advocate.

Danielle is committed to contributing to the Maine and Massachusetts communities through her pro bono work and her work as a Guardian ad Litem, a court appointed mediator in Maine and a “Judge Abber We Can Settle Initiative” conciliator in Massachusetts.

Prior to starting Starr Family Law & Mediation, Danielle was a partner in the Family Law Group at Verrill Dana LLP where she worked in both the Boston and Portland offices. Danielle worked at Prince Lobel Tye LLP and Rackemann, Sawyer & Brewster, P.C. before joining Verrill Dana LLP.  While in law school, Danielle clerked for the Honorable Randy J. Kaplan (ret.) in the Middlesex Probate and Family Court and the Suffolk Probate and Family Court.
