She is a seasoned legal professional who graduated from Fordham University School of Law and New York University, both with honors. Ms. Caminiti is also a former prosecutor of the Kings County District Attorney’s Office. Additionally, she is a former associate of a prestigious medical malpractice defense firm, as well as a boutique commercial litigation firm, both in Manhattan.Since 2013, Ms. Caminiti has been self-employed as a per diem attorney who covers virtual and in-person appearances and depositions regularly in New York City and State for hundreds of well-known law firms and solo practitioners. In 2019, Ms. Caminiti formed Have U Covered, LLC, which, like her recipes, she built from scratch. She is the solo owner of her Queens-based office, and together with her team of reliable and competent attorneys, she covers court cases in all 62 counties in New York State.Having grown up in a closely knit Italian-American family in New York City, Ms. Caminiti has always had a genuine appreciation for Italian food and culture. Aside from domestic travel, she has traveled to Italy several times, as well as Greece, Africa, Spain, Turkey and Mexico. Danielle has always been an avid home cook, and although her cooking reflects strong ties to her Italian roots, she often ventures outside her comfort zone and embraces fusion cooking and dishes from other cultures. It makes her happy to feed people and she is truly in her element when entertaining family and friends with her culinary delights, a glass of wine, good conversation, and a lot of laughter.Have U Covered LLC was put on an extended pause when the courts closed in March 2020 due to Covid-19. It remains uncertain whether and to what extent her business will return since success of her business depended a great deal on high volume of in-person court appearances. Despite this, Ms. Caminiti tells her clients that until she can have them covered in the courtroom again, she’ll have them covered in the kitchen, and even if court returns to what it was pre-pandemic, she will always have them covered in the kitchen.
