Consummate professional

I just finished a contested divorce with Donna as my attorney. To put it mildly, she cleaned house! I did not want a dirty, conniving lawyer, but a professional that knew the law, and would help me to present the facts of the case to the judge. Donna did not smear my ex, although her lawyer attemp...ted to smear me. The whole process, although painful, was very well orchestrated. Her knowledge of the judge helped us to form out our case, and her overall character impressed me greatly. Opposing counsel was what I expected in a divorce attorney - a scoundrel. Donna dealt with him very quickly, not by being more of a scoundrel, but by using the facts of the case, and case law. My settlement was much better than I could have hoped for, Donna was nothing short of amazing!

Great Attorney

She keeps up with all the details of my case. She is very thorough. She would be an excellent choice for a man to go to for a divorce. She is very helpful for the disabled.

Excellent lawyer

Ms. Buchholz did an amazing job for me. I went to a big law firm before hiring Ms. Buchholz, and all they did was bill me ridiculous amounts of money to do very little on my case and drag things on. I got frustrated and decided to hire Ms. Buchholz instead, and I'm SOOO glad I did! Her rates were mu...ch more reasonable and she got things moving on my case right away! She really listened to me, always had time for me, and was really good at keeping me informed about what was going on throughout the whole stressful divorce process. She fought hard for me in court leading to a favorable outcome for me and my kids. I would recommend Ms. Buchholz to anyone, she is a great attorney!
