After my family’s auto accident and my wife’s catastrophic injury, Mary Donne and her firm helped us navigate the complicated world of trucking companies and hospitals. In court she was creative, well prepared and ultimately successful. She is also helping us deal with the health care and insurance companies. Overall Mary Donne has allowed us to relax in the knowledge that we are represented by a lawyer who is caring and professional.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mary Donne. As our corporate attourney for the past 3 years, she advises our clients on correct procedures in starting and developing their businesses. She has superb attention to detail, extensive knowledge and is a true professional. Her calming demeanor is always reassuring to our clients.
I represent start up companies to multi-national corporations with an emphasis on family businesses, hospitality companies (hotels, motels, franchisees, franchisors and franchise associations, restaurants), technology companies and health care companies. Representation includes, among other things, organizational matters, corporate governance, regulatory interactions, risk reduction, contracts, labor and employment matters and transition planning.
National health care practice includes professional negligence claims against internists, nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists, surgeons, cardiologists, pharmacists, anesthesiologists, nursing homes, personal care homes, and hospitals. I have also advised individuals and entities on matters relating to regulatory compliance before various licensing boards and compliance with federal and state regulations including but not limited to HIPAA, FCA, Stark, RAC, FERA, GINA, and whistleblower laws.
I have represented individuals, entities and governments in over 20 states for more than 20 years in high stakes litigation matters such as franchise disputes, intellectual property disputes, business fraud, labor and employment disputes, class actions, professional negligence cases, medical malpractice claims, breach of contract disputes, family business disputes, insurance coverage claims, premises liability claims, and catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases.
Over the years I have represented individuals and estates against trucking companies for catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. Most recently, I obtained a jury verdict in excess of $11-million dollars for a family that was severely injured when their car was rear-ended by a tractor trailer. I have also represented trucking companies in the Southeast in the defense of personal injury and death cases. Furthermore, I provide counsel to trucking companies regarding regulatory compliance.

Contract Dispute
Mary Donne provided extremely valuable advice and counsel during a recent contract dispute. Although I was 'fed up' with the situation and ready to walk away from a significant investment of both time and money, Mary Donne 'brokered' a solution that turned out to be a 'win-win' for me and the opposing party. She is an excellent lawyer and I recommend her without reservation!

Quality Performance
A well rounded team. they helped me close a deal with great guidance and important solutions for the long term. They also saved me from a deal that had the potential to cost me everything, yet looked good from a layman's point of view. I walked away from the deal and am thankful.
