Jennifer L. Donlon

I want to start out by saying Ms Donlon's paralegal is extremely knowledgeable and nice. If for some reason you hire Ms Donlon you will probably deal with her paralegal at least 90% of the time. She didn't show up for my first hearing. When i called to ask her if she was on her way she replied, ..."Why would I be? I wasn't hired for that." Well she was hired for that and I have the contract to prove it. I asked her multiple times to call about statements from a couple of witnesses. I didn't find out until I fired her 2.5 months later that she didn't get those statements. She said she wouldn't need them for another 5-6 months. Which i thought was even more reason to get them when I requested. She couldn't seem to grasp that concept. I didn't think it was worth my time to explain her job to her so I left. Both options would have yielded the same results. Memories can get a little hazy after time has passed and what what could have been a huge advantage can end up being being worthless because you failed to comprehend something most 6th graders would understand. You are 1000% better off hiring someone else. That is unless you like being talked down to and paying someone to copy your homework.

In my divorce and child custody hearing Ms. Donlon did not keep in contact with me, almost all communication was initiated by myself and I rarely spoke to anyone but the receptionist. In every case I showed up to court not knowing what to expect and was basically told to give up that there was nothin...g to do. I could have done no worse had I represented myself as I ended up paying maximum everything with almost no parental rights even though I had proof to counter the lies that were being told. She told me to gather everything I had and send it to her which I did. She had it for two months and informed me on the court date she never even looked at it and that I was going to lose anyway. I feel as though she never did anything for the money she was paid. I can not in good conscience recommend her in any way. I did all the legwork and got nothing in return. Even after asking her to petition for lower child support after I had to move to a different area and take a job making half of what I was she told me no, that I would not even be considered. Afterwards I discovered that was not true and have paid 80% of my income for a year because sure have me bad council and wouldn't go through the effort of helping me, her client.

I hired Jennifer in July of this year to be my divorce attorney. Jennifer met with me and answered all of my questions and let me know what all of my options were, and what was realistic and not. She didn't sugar coat anything or beat around the bush. It was a breath of fresh air to know that I ha...d someone in my corner who was going to go to bat for my children and myself as well. All of the staff at Attorney Donlon's office were kind, curtious and supportive during the durations of my legal issues. I would recommend attorney Donlon to everyone and anyone who needs a strong legal force in their corner.
