Child support case
My experience with Mr. Dondi West was positive from the first moment I consulted with him. Mr. West was attentive, thorough, and helpful throughout a very difficult time. I have been dealing with an ex-wife for almost 17 years, after consulting many lawyers with very little to none success, I found M...

Doesn't meet deadlines
If you're searching for a aggressive finisher, keep looking. Similar to another review on this page, my experience has been beyond underwhelming. I prepaid for simple services and have seen very little results. When you can reach him, his consults are much better than his output, basically he's hot a...
Hello, This is Dondi West. I am sorry that you had a negative experience with my office and I do genuinely appreciate you being willing to share your experience and give me feedback in a public forum. You posted anonymously and it would help me if you could call me and discuss the issues you describe directly. I pride myself in my work and trying to ensure that I make each of my clients happy. I would like you to give me the opportunity to go back and look at your file and personally attempt to see what I could have done different or better. In 2015, I outlined my office's core values, and we do our best to live by them. If you review them at http://dondiwestlaw.com/law-firm-core-values/ you will see that one of them is constant improvement. This feedback will make me and my office better. I wish you the best and I apologize that you had a negative experience with my office. If you would like to discuss your concerns, I am just an email, text or phone call away. In addition, I would be interested in knowing if there is anything I can do to make this right for you. Dondi

Child Support Modification
I hired Dondi West based on his rates. He did not charge by the hour like other lawyers. My case was simple get pay information from my child's father to submit to the courts. He would not answer my emails or calls unless I sent the same message 3 times. We did not receive my child's father informati...

Divorce and child custody case
Attorney Dondi West has been an absolute blessing. He has handled my Divorce and Child custody case in a highly professional manner. He understands military aspect of the divorce very well. Having him as an attorney helped me tremendously as he guided me to secure and retain military pension and othe...
"Dondi West impressed me with his professionalism and care for details when he and I each participated in a complex business matter involving difficult tax, real estate and business formation issues. It is obvious that this attorney cares both about being effective and getting things done professionally and in compliance with applicable law. The care that he showed in the business matter we address gives me the confidence to refer family law work to his care - a practice area which I don't handle but he does. May his generation in the Bar all hold to his high standard of getting the right things done the right way at the right time."
