Great Representation

LaDonna did an excellent job on advising me of my rights while assisting to negotiate my marital separation agreement. I wanted a quick divorce and thought it wise to just pass on child support, however, I was advised that my child had a right to the child support. I'm glad I took the time and list...ened for the benefit of my child. She took charge in follow up with the other attorney and filed everything quickly. Even with all the delays with Covid19, my divorce took less than a year to finalize. When I first met with LaDonna for a consultation, I had a good gut feeling about her. After our discussion, I hired her on the spot and I am glad I made that decision. I would recommend her to anyone who is thinking about filing for a divorce.

Amazing !!

LaDonna was such a pleasure to talk to, I didn’t feel nervous talking about my case with her even at the first meet. I was going through the worst case with my ex and she made everything easy for me. She got all the notes and questions ready for the trail. We won if anyone was curious which shows you... that if you have her on your team you’re going win. If I ever need another lawyer I don’t need to feel scared trying to find one because I would always feel more comfortable having her on my team.

An advocate and a friend

LaDonna was everything a lawyer should be, smart and a fierce advocate. However she was also kind, of high moral character and she became my friend. I needed all of these things while going through one of the most difficult times of my life. We were a team, working hard to secure my definition of jus...tice. I found LaDonna by chance and she was truly a Godsend.

Won custody case

LaDonna is an exceptional lawyer. She was extremely well prepared for court, courteous and understanding of the situation. I would with out any doubt hire her again.I am a man so courts are def. against us unfortunately and I won my son.

Highly Recommended

I recently retained LaDonna for my divorce case. It was a short term marriage, no kids and no joint property. however my earlier lawyer cost be around $10k with no progress over 6 months. I hired LaDonna to represent me in middle of March and knowing the delay on my case, she helped bring the cas...e to a conclusion by mid May (about 8 weeks). Even though no trial was involved and the divorce was reached amicably via a settlement, her attention to detail definitely is praiseworthy LaDonna is personable and intelligent and not averse to get into the details of the case be it the financials or any logistical details. She has an approachable empathetic demeanor as well The only one thing which I believe she can work on slightly, though I dont hold this against her, is the flow of communication with her, especially her staff. This can be at times difficult, understandably, when she has other court appointments. However, I feel there is some room in this area I feel she is going to be a very successful attorney and I strongly recommend her for divorce/ separation cases.
