Review Amber Donley

We would choose Amber Donley for all our Family Legal Matters

Posted by

My wife and I were very appreciative of the service the Donley Law Firm provided regarding our family law matters. From our initial telephone consultation, to the courtroom proceedings, to the final closing letter Mrs. Donley and her staff were nothing less than professional, caring, courteous, and thorough. We thank them very much for all they accomplished for us during this most unprecedented time. Throughout the legal process they ensured our safety and comfort. We would gladly recommend the Donley Law Firm to anyone needing family law, counseling, or legal representation services. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Walter C. Johnson

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. I would highly recommend Amber Donley, Esq. to my friends and family. Should I need legal assistance in the future, her name will be on the top of my list.

Wonderful Smart Commpasionate Lawyer

Posted by

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.
