About Donald
Biography
I have practiced law since 1991 when I graduated from the University of Alabama. I have mostly represented individuals with all varieties of legal issues. I served as an attorney for the Department of Human Resources for a number of years on a part-time basis. I also had the privilege to serve as a District Court Judge. As a judge, I handled domestic relations, divorce, custody, juvenile, criminal and other matters.
No represetation is made that the quality of legal services is greater than that provided by other lawyers.
