George Reed
I hired Scott D. Danaher to handle a complex divorce case, and overall, I was very satisfied with his representation. Scott's 21 years of experience in family law were evident in how he navigated the legal process, offering sound advice and a strategic approach. His expertise in divorce and related matters was clear, and he earned recognition in family law, which gave me confidence in his abilities. He was professional yet approachable, making me feel at ease during a stressful time. One small area for improvement was his response time to emails, which could be faster at times.

Paul Brown
I hired Attorney Scott D. Danaher for a complex divorce case due to his extensive experience in family law and recognition in the field. He handled the legal aspects competently, leveraging his 21 years of practice to navigate the intricacies of our situation. However, communication could have been more consistent—follow-up responses were sometimes delayed, and updates on case progress were not always prompt. While his expertise was evident in the settlement terms, I found the overall experience mediocre due to these gaps. He clearly knows his craft, but better responsiveness would have made the process smoother. For straightforward cases, his knowledge of New Jersey family law is a strong asset, but expectations for timeliness and clarity should be managed accordingly.

His 21 years of experience in family law were evident in his approach, and his recognition in the field gave me confidence. However, while he was thorough in explaining my rights and options, communication could have been more prompt. I often had to wait longer than expected for responses, which added unnecessary stress to an already difficult situation. His expertise in divorce and family law was clear, but I wished he had been more proactive in keeping me updated. Overall, I appreciated his knowledge and professionalism, but the delays in communication left room for improvement.

I hired Scott D. Danaher to handle my divorce case, and I was impressed by his deep expertise in family law. With over two decades of experience, his knowledge of the legal nuances in divorce proceedings was evident from our first consultation. Scott’s strategic approach to negotiations and his ability to anticipate potential challenges were invaluable. He was particularly adept at explaining complex legal concepts in a way that made them understandable, which was crucial during such a stressful time. While his team was highly responsive, I noticed that Scott himself could sometimes be slower to return calls, which was my only minor criticism. His recognition in family law and his background at a respected firm like Sarno da Costa D’Aniello Maceri Webb LLC gave me confidence that I was in capable hands. The final outcome was fair and aligned with my goals, and I would recommend Scott to others facing similar legal matters.

Emily Smith
I worked with Scott Danaher on a complex divorce case, and while he was knowledgeable in family law—a field where he's recognized—I felt his communication could have been more proactive. He clearly understood the nuances of New Jersey family law, which was reassuring, but I often had to follow up to get updates. The firm's resources were evident, and his 21 years of experience showed in how he handled negotiations, though I wish he had managed my expectations more clearly about timelines. He got the job done, but the process felt slower than necessary. For someone in a less contentious situation, he might be a strong choice, but for those needing regular updates, consider whether this is the right fit.

His expertise was evident in negotiating spousal support and asset division, though I sometimes felt the communication could have been more consistent.
