About Donna
Biography
I represent my clients completely, focusing on what they really want as a result and working with them and their partner to get there. Some of my Family Law clients stay married. These partners stay married because I recognize that they have issues in their relationships, but do not want to be divorced. If both parties agree that they want to preserve their marriage, I engage in marital mediation to resolve the issues that are causing the difficulties.
I believe that no one gets married to get divorced. Family is most important. If a family can remain intact, it is the best result.
If a couple needs to divorce, I work with my client to do this in the least expensive and traumatic manner possible. I encourage Mediation and Collaborative Divorce wherever possible. Mediation is where both parties work with a Mediator to resolve their issues and come to their own agreement. In Collaborative Divorce, each party has an attorney who must be Collabotatively trained, and the parties sign a contract that they will not go to Court regarding issues but will work within the Collaborative process to do so. Both Mediation and Collaborative Divorce save money, personal energy, stress, and time. Also, these processes are private so peoples' most personal business remains out of the Court spotlight.
Family Law issues are most difficult and stressful for my clients. I work with them to resolve their matters with as little stress and expense as possible.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
A genuine good and caring person who is serious about representing her clients!
Hands down five out of five starts. I really want to give her ten stars but unfortunately is not an option. She has been working with me and my parents on trying to deal with custody issues and DCFs corrupt ways. She has made me feel like a legitimate person who's concerns and feelings are valid. She...

Donna D Convicer's Lawyer Endorsements
"Donna Convicer is a true champion for homeowners. She is both knowledgable and experienced."
"I endorse this lawyer. Donna is a wonderful lawyer and a fabulous person. She knows the law, is great with clients and one of the best attorney's in family law and real estate."
"I have known Donna for many years. She & I are in the same office location. Donna is a dedicated, and truly devoted attorney. She zealously represents her clients, and is willing to share her knowledge about family law whenever I have a question. Donna goes the extra mile for her clients--staying late, coming in early, whatever it takes."
"I highly endorse Attorney Convicer. Having opposed her on several foreclosure matters she has always represented her clients zealously and with a great command of the law. She did such a great job and acted so professionally that I have actually referred family members to her for family law matters. I cannot think of a higher endorsement from one attorney to another than to refer a family member. That family member is very pleased with her handling of that matter and is very happy that I recommended Attorney Convicer."
"I endorse and recommend Atty. Convicer. She has commitment to the clients, to the profession, and to the larger community. This attorney has an impressive command of her areas of practice and she is gifted at straight-forward and understandable legal advice. I'm pleased to recommend this attorney as a skilled and dedicated lawyer."
"Donna is super knowledgeable in the areas of family law and foreclosure law. She is tough and will advocate strongly for her clients' best interests. Using her family law mediation sessions will save couples thousands of dollars as an alternative to paying for lawyers and fighting issues in court. I recommend Donna as a veteran attorney- you get so much more with her than with a big firm that may have a fancy office."
