She made a tough topic easy to discuss

Amber drafted several estate documents. She was patient in explaining the purpose of each to make sure they fit my needs. She and her staff are professional, friendly and efficient.

Estate Planning

My experience with Ms Donley was very pleasant. She helped me understand the aspects of estate planning. The suggestions she made were/are absolutely priceless. Ms Donley was very professional and thorough in explaining each document and answering my questions. Her staff is the best. Without hes...itation I would highly recommend her services to any person.

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

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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
