Real client in Naples

My family needed very specialized legal help and needed it fast last summer. Mr. Day took over a very complex criminal case, other attorneys were not too excited to look into. For a reasonable fee, all inclusive, he did all the work and ended up going to trial as our defense attorney. He did a phenom...enal job during the trial. It was like watching a movie...except it was all real life. Mr. Day was successful in uncovering the truth and doing us justice. He followed the case from beginning to the end and was there for us every moment of the way. He literally would pick up his phone and reply to a text within minutes. Ask yourself if your attorney would do that. In the end, honestly, no one can predict which way the case is going to go with 100 percent certainty. But let me assure you, you are in very good hands when you go with him. Mr.Day is the best lawyer in Naples area and beyond. PERIOD.

Grateful for the best representation in a difficult time

I hired this firm during a crisis within my family. When I called, the fit me in within an hour. I met with both Atty. Day and Atty. Gorman and immediately felt comfortable and relieved that they would handle every aspect of our case. They have kept me apprised of the process over the course of 18... months and handled everything professionally, competently with our family's intentions and well being at the forefront. I cannot speak more highly for my experience with this firm and would recommend them to anyone needing legal representation. I am forever grateful they were recommended to me.

Look no further

Extremely personable, very available to your questions and needs. Top tier attorney, charismatic and exceedingly knowledgeable. Nothing great happens without a process. In Naples, it's been an arduous task finding an attorney who is as organized and client-centered as Mr. Day. The whole process cou...ld have been much worse but Mr. Day delivered and produced a positive outcome. His attention to detail is immeasurable. I would highly recommend his councel. Especially when options are plentiful but positive outcomes are few. He provides the best representation one could ask for, simply the best attorney around.

Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 01

Relationship: Co-worker

"For almost 30 years Donald has zealously defended thousands of people in Florida when their most important right is at stake, Freedom. In doing so he has earned a stellar reputation throughout the legal community for Integrity, Professionalism and Trial Advocacy. I first met Donald years ago when I began working as an Assistant State Attorney here in Collier County. Over the years I had many cases where Donald was opposing counsel. I saw firsthand why Donald had such a reputation. Not only is he an exceptional trial lawyer. He is also a consummate professional. I now work with Donald, and I can tell you from firsthand experience I know of no other attorney that works harder for his clients. He is always available for clients- even on nights, weekends and holidays."

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.
