Best Divorce Attorney

Donna and her support staff are outstanding! Not knowing what to expect when I was going through my divorce several years ago I called her upon a referral from a friend. I was not disappointed. She is extremely knowledgeable about family law and gave me great personal and professional advice. She is ...very compassionate, yet nothing but honest. She never led me in the wrong direction. I still rely on her expertise to this day with issues that may arise with my ex-husband. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs an attorney.

Highly recommend

Donna navigated some tricky legal disputes that arose from unclear language in my separation agreement. They all ended favorably. I don't think I would have had these type of issues if I had Donna represent me in my divorce. I would highly recommend her and her firm.

Thank you Donna

I am writing this review so others may benefit from my experience . Donna was not the first lawyer I hired to handle an extremely contentious and difficult Divorce/Custody case but she was the last. Where other highly rated Lawyers failed Donna succeeded. Donna's dedication, expertise and willingnes...s to go above and beyond to resolve my case in the best interest of not only myself but most importantly my child is testimony to her character as a lawyer and a person. Donna was completely involved in every aspect of the case, she is extremely knowledgable , smart and tireless when it comes to examining details. I highly recommend Donna and her associates .

Amazing

What to say about attorney Silva .. first of all she's Donna to me as I would call my sister by her first name . I walked into Donnas office and I found a sister / a human /a person not only an attorney , I was involved in a almost two year divorced/ custody battle , like many it wasn't a pretty one ...but from day one I got nothing but 100 % from Donna and her staff witch shouldn't go unmentioned, I was in a big big mess of an agreement worked up by opposite attorney and me ex attorney , key word being ex attorney after stumbling into Donnas office , it wasn't an easy cleanup but way way worth it since the fight was about my kids , like any good parent that's a fight that you don't quit ever !! Donna not only as an attorney but also as a friend keep me positive and grounded , ( thank you Donna ) I walked in as a possible client and after all was set and done I walked away with a great friend !! Ps: Not only she cleaned up the mess from previous attorney she made sure I walked away with was the most important thing in my life .... Full soul custody of my children !!! In case anyone his wondering I am a proud FATHER of two amazing kids , yes father !!! So in conclusion if anyone is looking for a rare rare breath of HONESTY, CARING, KIND AND HONEST AGAIN , please do yourself a favor and talk to Donna AKA attorney Donna Lagana Silva !! Your the best Donna thank you always !!
