Best attorney ever

I just wanted to share this. Donna was able to take over my case when my attorney passed away. I was losing my court case to gain custody of my three kids and as a man its very hard to win, well I won and it was cause of her hard work and dedication to my family and always answering texts, emails and... following up on all requests. So when I say to all the fathers out there, hire her, she is great!

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!

needs license taken away

I was going through a simple parenting plan and trying to come to an agreement. She dragged me through the mud, lied to me, was never available, and told other party very personal info. Held in confidence. When I decided to settle she lost my signed paper work and continued to stack unnecessary addon...s to it. I eventually had to fire her and get the opposing parties lawyer to finish the agreement!!!! Staff rude, never had answers, and didn't listen to my needs.

Stay Away From her

This Attorney is one of those you had to pay first to see if she could do something for you. She took my case and when she sent a legal letter to the persons I was charging for wrong doing, they sent regular mail with no tracking and to have it tracked or sent some other method, I had to pay for it. ...When I called to follow up, they had not done anything with my case. After several attempts to get status and not getting any, it got to the point that they didn't even answer my calls. On one of the days I called and they didn't answer the phone, I went to their office and they were there. This attorney and her administrative person were very unprofessional.
