Client

fortunately we did not need Don for more than a sounding board. I found him always available, responsive and professional.

Excellent Attorney

Don helped me through a very difficult transition in my life. I had a series of unfortunate events and had been trying to "dig myself out of a hole" for a few years. It wasn't until talking to Don that I understood the benefits of filing for chapter 7 relief. Prior to that I had associated a stigma w...ith declaring bankruptcy that was only due to my own ignorance. Don explained everything to me in detail and answered any questions I had throughout the whole process. He was always available if I needed to get in touch with him and he kept me informed whenever there were any changes with my case. My debt has been discharged and it is a huge relief and weight off of my shoulders and the fresh start I needed to finally rebuild (my credit) and my life. I would highly recommend Don.

Chapter 13

My experience was very good. Don is a great communicator during the whole nerve racking experience. He is smart and very organized. He kept me in the loop every step of the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone needed financial advice.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
