Exactly who you want

After starting off with another lawyer for my custody case, my wife and I went with Donna because we were not happy with our previous lawyer. It was the best decision we could have made. Donna got us organized and ready for the court battle. She was there for us every step of the way. She put togethe...r an awesome case and presented it perfectly. Now we have primary custody of my son and we can't thank Donna enough!!!!!!!

Tough and reasonable

The thing I have liked the most with Donna during our intense and protracted custody case is her belief in fairness. Itsnotjust a paycheck for her and that shows. She has a great way of talking people through difficult, emotional and confusing legal situations that I really appreciate!

Donna is perfection!!

Donna is by far the most fantastic lawyer you can ever ask for. I moved from PA to CO to set up a new life for my family. Husband stayed behind to wrap up the kids school year. 12 weeks went by and I was so excited to go back and get my family. Instead I was served with emergency custody papers. ...I was 1500 miles away from them and had no idea where to turn for help. Donna thankfully was there to guide me thru the legal battle that went on for a year. And still continues with the divorce and finalizing all other legal matters with the kids. She has always been prompt in response. Even with the numerous miles that separate us. She has also opened up her time to me when I’ve had to fly in for court to prepare me for what’s to come. She has never made me feel rushed or that she has other things to do. I always feel like I’m her only client and my issues really matter. She is very passionate about her job and knows all the legal rulings and matters that I was not even prepared for or knew I had rights too. She will lay all your options out to you and she asks what is best for you. She will not say this is what we are going to do and that’s final. She makes you feel like you actually have a choice and many choices and avenues to explore to get what you need. Or at least fight for them. Things are calming on my legal matters but I will always retain her for anything that the future holds.

Honest, Hard Working, Extremely Intelligent

Donna provided excellent counsel for my divorce, custody and support matters. We had open and honest discussions about options and consequences not only regarding financial matters but family health and well-being. I was always informed and had all options presented so I could make well informed de...cisions. Her assistance has been of great value for the past 10 years. I would like to share the thank you note sent to Donna: "I know I thanked you before, but thank you again. This was very hard for me and I appreciate your advice over the years. All of us don't have the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives but you have made a difference in mine. Having your assistance helped not just with navigating through these difficult discussions, but also helped with my stress levels and health. I am grateful for your time, effort, honestly, and you as a person. Thank you again Donna for making a difference. God bless you and your family."

Ms Cantor works with me to keep costs in check

I have been working with Donna Cantor for over four years. She has assisted me through post-marital, divorce, and custody agreements. Her approach is collaborative (in contrast to lawyers who will wind up the opposing parties in order to drive up their own fees). Ms Cantor has worked *with* me every... step of the way, reviewing my options at every turn. She has always given me the choice of doing an administrative task myself, if possible. This transparency has saved me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars over the course of our relationship. In working with Ms Cantor, I’ve also found an ideal balance in communications. When nothing is happening, the statements reflect that. Should an urgent situation arise, she makes herself available through evenings and weekends. Specific emailed questions are promptly answered with specific replies. Further, Ms Cantor has gone above and beyond by including my teenager in our meetings when appropriate, answering his questions about upcoming proceedings, and explaining his rights in language he understands. In the many years I have worked with her, Ms Cantor’s advice and conduct have earned my complete trust. I would recommend her highly to anyone seeking legal representation in her field.
