NOT WORTH MONEY

My experience with Mr. William Donaldson was less than satisfactory. To this day I am still picking up the pieces of the mess that was made with my case. I trusted Mr. Donaldson to look out for my best intrest and do what would be best for me and my children and in the end Mr. Donaldson did nothing... to help. I was forced to move out of my home, went without alimony and had to sit an wait for my exhusband to play the paying game with my childsupport. My credit is now ruined and my exhusband owes so much back childsupport that now it's a matter of waiting on the courts and justice as I represent myself, in light of not trusting any lawyer so that what was wrong can be made somewhat right again and justice can be mended in my case. So in choosing Mr. William Donaldson to represent you I would advice to look over all invoices and get an estimate before hand so that you are not suprised when the invoice you recieve is more than the work that is actually done. Especially when they just help themselves to take your money with results that are less than what is worth.

I understand that all cases are driven by the facts, molded by the tenor of the opposition and solidified by the subjective application of the law. I am sorry that the outcome for this client did not meet their expectations.
