Simply the best!

Donna's genuine concern for her client's wellbeing, her knowledge of the law, and passion for each case is truly astounding. Her sincere, honest, and logical personality is exactly what is needed while going through one of the most challenging, and emotional times a person can go through. Thank you, ...Donna and Katelin, for everything you do!

She is EVERYTHING!

I spent a lot of time looking into the type of person I wanted to be by my side representing me during one of the hardest times in my life. I was looking for someone with a good reputation. Someone respected by peers and members of our community. Confident, knowledgeable, honest and fair. Someone w...ho would FIGHT for me. I found all of this at Marshall Law. Donna and her team are amazing and I recommend her to everyone I know in need of a Family Attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
