Worse attorney you can get.

Unprofessional, rude, I did the leg work and she dropped the ball. Helped my abuser abuse me more. talked to me in the hallway in front of my abuser. With what I know now that hair folical test would hae changed everything. I went thru NYLAW to write it up and submit it I also had to go thru NYLAW f...or an order of protection. Things would have been so differant if I hadn't gotten her as my public defender. Especially with all the proof I have that is now considered hearsay. She told me to agree to an uncontested divorce. Which my abuser only put my half in. Leaving me unable to sell or leave. I'm right where my abuser wants me. So she knows where i am and is in full control. I can't sell. I can't do anything. She stole thousands via a PayPal she made with my social. As well as credit cards and Verizon accounts she opened with my social. I have nothing don't even have water and im stuck here. I know i.messed up marrying a demon but she helped the demon when she was suppose to be my attorney.

I would give zero stars if possible

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.

Law guardianship

Jennifer was the law guardian for my children in two separate cases. She did an amazing job looking out for the best interest of my boys. She was very thorough and professional. I had the utmost confidence in her. The boys were very fond of her and she made sure to make them comfortable and at ease... with the situation. Jennifer is a fantastic attorney.
