Adoption of an adult child

My sister passed away in December leaving me with her 20 year old, college student to finish getting through life. My niece is young for her age. She lived a very sheltered life and had no insurance. I needed for her health insurance and car insurance to be taken care of. LaDonna was very understandi...ng of our unique situation and she walked us through every step. She made every effort to insure that we felt comfortable and secure in our decisions of how we wanted things to be worded. It was an extremely reassuring experience.

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.

Excellent attorney for my support and custody case

Ladonna was excellent. She took the time to understand every aspect of my case and get to know my exact situation. She was empathetic and an excellent listener, but also straightforward and realistic with me. She made every effort to make sure to utilize her time efficienty and cost effectively. ...In the consult meeting at the court, she was professional yet direct and managed the emotions of all parties effectively. Because she took the time to understand all aspects of my case, she could speak on my behalf confidently and accurately. This was especially helpful when I had to stop speaking because i was getting too emotional and stressed. LaDonna was responsive, communicative, professional and a pleasure to work with.

Dissolution of Domestic Partnership

My experience with the Weinberger Law Group and Ms. LaDonna Cousins has been positive, professional and ultimately rewarding. I came into contact with Ms. Cousins after having a consultation with Mike Evans. From the beginning, my case was handled with genuine concern and expertise. I appreciated Ms.... Cousin’s patience especially since I had a multitude of questions with regard to the overall process of obtaining dissolution from my ex-partner. Going through a divorce/dissolution can be emotionally and financially challenging. Ms. Cousins has been supportive and understanding to both of these situations and for that I’m thankful. I would highly recommend Ms. Cousins and the Weinberger Law Group for anyone who might be going through a difficult time or just need professional direction dealing with a personal family matter that involves immediate family. I wish her continued success in her legal career.
