Beyond pleased with the Representation!

I would like to think Erin for her hard work and diligence. She never gave up fighting for us and was truly a blessing. Sometimes you have to worry that if you pay an attorney, it may be a waste of money, but I can speak from our situation and absolutely say that was not the case with her! Something... that we thought was going to be terrible and impossible to overcome, she was able to almost completely erase the situation. The outcome we got from her was more than we ever expected and a miracle if I’m being honest. Thank you again!

A Lasting Win from an Amazing Attorney

Erin became my attorney after being arrested for Simple Battery. Initially we were presented with a TPO Hearing where she outstandingly provided a defense counsel that would eventually have the TPO dismissed. During a long process of criminal proceedings Erin would continue to work my case diligent...ly to finally have the case dismissed. Her dedication to finalize this outcome will forever remain grateful with me and my family. I am happy to have met Erin; a kind and knowledgeable woman who cares about her clients. Thank you again Erin.

A lawyer that cares.

I called and messaged 5 attorney with what looked to be a simple mistake with the Georgia DDS. Many did not respond, others said for me to try it myself and call if I needed services. Attorney Dohnalek called, got some information from me and a couple days later she was calling explaining they had an... error and it was all resolved. This was verified by logging online. If you've ever dealt with the DDS you can't just call your local office but you get Atlanta amd a run around and if it's in their system there's not much you can do to get them to assist. I am more than thankful that Ms. Dohnalek was there to help me and so gracious in doing so. I recommend her over any lawyer in Georgia. You can pay an insane amount of money for someone to go through the motions having no benefit whether you win or lose. Or you can contact Ms. Dohnalek and get help from someone who cares! Thank you Erin!
