Outstanding
My wife and I reached out to Amber Donley, Esq. for assistance with preparing various documents including our last will and testament, power of attorney, health care surrogate, and living wills. From the very start she made us comfortable, guiding us through the process, answering our questions, and making sure we truly understood how the choices we made could potentially impact each other and our heirs. She took her time and we never felt rushed. Her staff was equally welcoming and always responsive to emails and phone calls.

Wonderful Smart Commpasionate Lawyer
We used Ms. Donley to create our estate planning documents including creating a trust and preneed guardian documents. She is organized, efficient and makes you feel like every question you ask is important. I did a lot of research choosing a lawyer including searching LinkedIn, seeing her involvement in mentoring and professional organizations as well as local news interviews made me select her. She is a wonderful lawyer with great office staff and I recommend her without reservation.

Child Support case
Mrs. Donley accepted the case based on the merits as presented. She explained in detail the legal aspects surrounding the case and the real possibilities to grant or not our motion to end the support case. Legal fees were disclosed and explained in advance in detail. Follow up's, prompt responses to my questions, support as needed and kind attention to my case was excellent.
Follow up meeting at her office before the hearing was very productive and prepared me to be ready to answer the judge questions if any in a proper manner and confident that there was not going to be any missing details and that the evidence to be presented if needed was available to be presented and me able to discuss it with the judge in a clear manner.
The day at the court hearing we had time to talk before going in and all happened without any issues. The process was fast and the judge was pleased with the motion as written and the answers to his questions were accepted without hesitation. The motion was granted and signed documents and copies were given to me and distributed next day by her office. Case was closed, final invoice and closing letter sent withing the next week, all satisfactorily completed.
