Along with Donnavon comes a “DREAM TEAM”

I hired Donnavon on an assault case. The communication that was held during this scary process went way beyond my expectations! Not to mention his paralegal Alex! His and her work ethic are second to none! Hiring Donnavon saved my life because this man took his time and fought for me like I was fami...ly ! I got the best outcome possible for my case and can not express enough gratitude and the peace of mind that was given to me at this moment in my life when I needed it the most. Thank you guys !

Outstanding Attorney

Donnavon Vasek is brilliant at what he does. He obtained the best possible outcome for a close family member. I hired Mr. Vasek for my family member. When you need the best, contact Mr. Vasek.

This man is a legend, and saved me a life of misery!

Mr. Vasek was appointed to my post convinction relief case in Wilson county. He fought diligently day in and day out for me. He spent countless hours doing research, reviewing evidence, and picking my brain for all the information he could use. I've never had an attorney listen to me, and give me adv...ice the way he did. He won my case in the court of criminal appeals and got my convictions reversed. Afterwards he was appointed to represent me on several complex felony charges. He got me everything I wanted. I owe this man! Mr. Vasek and his team kept me up to date, worked tirelessly to seek justice, and in the end we prevailed. It's rare that cases get overturned in appeals court, especially with the circumstances we faced, but this man did that for me.

A trustworthy and knowledgeable lawyer

I hired Donnavon to write my legal documents and give legal advice for my business. I had attempted to research and write myself, but ended up causing myself more harm than good. Donnavon was helpful to put me in the right direction, and explain the laws/ details in a way that I could easily understa...nd. He took his time with me, and I felt like I was the only case he had. By the time I left the first meeting, we had a game plan and knew I was in the right place. If you’re looking to hire an attorney who is going to get things done- he is definitely your guy, and I will definitely use him corn our legal needs.

Fantastic Attorney!

Donnavon Vasek did a fantastic job with my case. From the moment I walked in for my consultation, he already had a couple different plans to handle my situation. Very professional and knowledgeable. I always felt like there was nothing to worry about after I hired him. I’m happy to say he resolved my... case and gave me the best outcome I could have asked for! I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer. He will try his hardest to fight for your rights!

"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."

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."
