Amazing

I was involved in a litigation lawsuit, which I lost! After looking for better representation I found Mrs. Donna Solomon and she was the only one to notice that my contract was non-binding which gave me the leverage to retry my case. After several lawyers, I finally found one worth my money! I ended ...up settling my case in which a matter that I was comfortable in doing. My case was calling me to pay out one million dollars but I settled for 1/4 of the original judgement amount. Thank you for your guidance and your laser focus!! I definetely would recommend Donna! She's AMAZING!!!!!

Professional, Skillful, Knowledgeable, Precise, Organized, Compassionate

I had the good fortune of being introduced to Donna Solomon, in the midst of a very technical and tedious lawsuit. After my very first conversation with Donna, I knew I was in very good hands and trusted her judgment and advice. Donna, had to immediately come up to speed to understand the facts, th...e players and the scope of a very complex deal. After two short briefings, she immediately and skillfully set about handling the operations and mechanics of the lawsuit as well as later dismantling the plaintiffs and their attorney through deposition, and onto a request from opposing counsel of settlement. (In my favor) I'm very grateful for Donna's help and assistance! Should I need legal assistance, I will call Donna. Thank you, Donna!

Best Lawyer in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Donna Greenspan Solomon is undoubtedly one of the best lawyers in the Fort Lauderdale and the West Palm Beach, FL area. When our Company hired Donna, we were at our ropes end with a corporate/business breach of contract matter that had been pending in Court limbo for two years. By day 5 of hiring Don...na to represent the Company, Donna was ten steps ahead of the other side. Within the first month of having Donna represent us, the other party, flew down to meet our President begging to reach settlement terms stating: "I can't take your pitbull attorney. Can we settle this?" We were able to resolve our lawsuit on better than favorable terms due to Donna's brilliant strategies and timing decisions. Donna was available around the clock and always communicated thoroughly with us on her plan and discussed legal strategies until the Company was comfortable with a resolution. If you are in need of a corporate attorney for breach of contract or other business related lawsuits, you won't find a lawyer who can wear them out like Donna and fight for her client's position. Donna is highly recommended and will be used by our Company again - you won't meet a lawyer in the Florida area who understands that part of the winning strategy is to be proactive and keep the other side on their toes with timely motions and filings to gain the upperhand. Donna helped the Company transition under our end goal, which resulted in getting exactly what we wanted. It is rare to find an attorney now a days that works that hard for the client and is not intimidated to put the work in - very aggressive and very highly recommended.

  • 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.
