About Donna
Biography
Thank you for reviewing my profile on Avvo. I love the practice of law and the personal and professional relationships fostered in representation of my clients. I maintain a general civil practice with an emphasis in representing small business owners, handling real estate transactions, assisting with estate planning and probate and engaging in litigation as necessary and appropriate. I am passionate about my work, professionalism and the relationships I form and maintain with my clients. I love to travel, garden and am inspired by art and design. My dog, Osa, comes to work with me each day.
I am also a lifelong learner and teacher. I continue to educate myself on a wide variety of issues, including legal matters, Judaism and Israel. I have been a religious school teacher of high school students for many years, devoting my energy to educating teens about world religions and the importance and understanding of support for the State of Israel.
I will always give you the best legal advice I can and if I am unable or not best suited to assist you, I will refer you to a trusted colleague. I welcome the opportunity to help you with your legal needs.
Thank you.

Personalized Attention from a GREAT Attorney
We have used Donna for several years for our personal and professional needs. She is incredibly knowledgeable and advocates for her clients. We are a small family without large assets, but Donna and her team have always been generous with their time and given us the attention and advice we needed. ...

Honest, knowledgeable and easy to work with !
We have used Donna's services several times from mortgage closings to customer collection issues to estate planning. She answers all questions immediately and has a plan of action within minutes. Donna is not only professional, but also a woman of her word and now a family friend.
