1 /5 Monica Arrechavala: I retained Danielle to represent me in a sensitive legal matter involving my husbands ex a former partner. As well as she represented him in to legal matters against this person. After our attorney-client relationship ended, I discovered that she had become Facebook friends with the opposing party — the very person she represented me and my husband against. Even more troubling, this individual is now publicly recommending her legal services on social media.
As a former client, this raises serious concerns for me regarding loyalty, confidentiality, and professional boundaries. At the time I hired her, I trusted that she would maintain independence and advocate for my best interest. Seeing a connection like this — after the fact — is not only disappointing, it feels inappropriate.
I believe potential clients should be aware of this behavior before making a decision. Representation should always remain neutral, professional, and free of personal entanglements with the opposing side — even after the case ends.
