Tireless and tenacious

Donna is amazing. She handled my divorce 1.5 yrs ago and is handling my post divorce issues now. She is so knowledgeable and she explains things thoroughly in a way that put me at ease. She can be such a bulldog if necessary, but she is thoughtful in how she approaches the problem and knows how to r...esolve things without creating more anger and hostility. She was such an answer to my prayers and I am so grateful for her guidance.

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.
