About Donnavon

DONNAVON VASEK - (615) 549-8909.  

My practice focuses on criminal defense and probate (including Last Will and Testaments, Conservatorship, Probate, and Powers of Attorney), and civil law. My core belief in my practice is that I will provide my clients with the most comprehensive review of their case and the most assertive and thorough effort to resolve it to its best outcome while treating them with the care, honesty, and discretion they expect and deserve. Nothing else is acceptable to me as an attorney, nor should it be to you as a client.

Being in the courtroom nearly every day of every week has exposed me to the glaring fact that we as citizens must ensure that our consititutional rights are protected in the courts. From investigating simple DUIs to sex offenses to vehicular homicide, I have seen firsthand how important it is for every citizen to have access to skilled and dedicated defense counsel.

I uphold the aggressive defense of my clients combined with a compassionate and honest understanding of the effect the charges they face are having or will have on their lives and the lives of their families. I realize many lawyers will tell you they will “fight for you,” as will I, but I also know that fighting is no use unless your case is fully investigated, prepared, and wisely thought out to its most beneficial end. I will provide you a passionate defense tempered with a great strategy and an intelligent plan of action.

I provide defense for charges such as:

DUI/DWIBUI (Boating Under the Influence)

Domestic Assault, Sexual Assault, Illegal Possession of Drugs

Drugs and Weapons charges

Drug Possession

Probation Violations

Records Expungement and any other type of criminal charge.

I also provide legal services in estate law, such as Willis and Powers of Attorneys.

    I endorse this lawyer. With Donnavon's laser focus on facts and knowledge of the law, I have no doubt he will provide each of his client's a skilled and individually tailored defense.

    I endorse this lawyer. I've known Donnavon for several years now and am impressed with the natural ability he shows for practicing law.

    Lawyer George F. Lannom

    George Lannom, Criminal defense Attorney on Jan 12, 2016
    Relationship: Supervised lawyer

    Donnavon started working for me as my lead investigator several years ago. He did a fantastic job in that position and began helping me with my criminal cases as he progressed through law school. Even though he worked - HARD - 5 days a week, he still managed to graduate top of his law class and earned an award for it. I was happy to be able to offer Donnavon a position in my law firm and am proud of the lawyer he has become. He's smart, intelligent, and has a heart for criminal defense.

    Lawyer Keith Williams

    Keith Williams, Wills and living wills Attorney on Nov 19, 2015
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    I have known Donnavon for almost 5 years and he's a good man and I'm sure will prove a great attorney. He handled a fairly intricate and large estate matter for one of my employees and it turned out great for her. I appreciate him as a friend and a fellow attorney and recommend him unreservedly.

    Lawyer Melanie Renee Bean

    Melanie Bean, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 19, 2015
    Relationship: Supervised lawyer

    I've worked with Donnavon for several years now and have always been deeply impressed with his commitment to defending our clients. He was our Lead Investigator while he finished law school and was meticulous in his attention to details. Donnavon also has a way of making sure our clients feel confident their case is getting the attention and results they expect from us. Now that he has graduated law school and begun his practice with us, I can see him using the same analytical skills and dedication to justice in defense of his own clients. He is fantastic in the courtroom and I am proud to practice with him.
