Posted by Adrien | June 28, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Donna is the most diligent, experienced, professional, respectful, attentive attorney I have ever met in my life.

In the end, Donna accomplished exactly what we sought out to do. She was able to guide our family through the (often terrifying) maze of attaining custody and ultimately not only keeping my son safe, but also changing his life forever. My son's entire life has flourished properly, the way it should... have from birth but was unable to. Grades are up in school, friendships in a solid, safe neighborhood are popping up more than I count, and most importantly, we can raise my son with the security and love that only Donna could allow us. Even so our final court date was quite a ways back, Donna still keeps in close contact to our family. She's so important to us; she has invested so much of her time in our family all for the good of a young boy who was stuck in a dangerous living situation. Donna never performed any work that was less than 5 star worthy. Her attention to detail and diligence in filing her necessary court documents was certainly noticed by my wife and I. We appreciate everything Donna has done for our family. If you ever have the pleasure of consulting in Donna for your legal questions - do it! Or if you're trying to find an attorney who doesn't just see you as a case number but rather as a human being with feelings and worries of your own, you need to meet with Donna. I've got her on speed dial and should the need arise, I know she'll be at the courthouse waiting for us. Thank you so much for everything, Donna. You saved my son from a disastrous childhood. I can't ever express how much that means to me. You have completely altered my perception of attorneys, it's nice to see some good ones still practice law in this day.

Accessible. I've only had one other lawyer and my first laywer took days, weeks to get back to me even when something extremely urgent was shaking out. Donna gets right back to you if she doesn't answer. She knows the law and is diligent and thorough on matters that are pending judge's attention. She... cares about your situation. She doesn't let the black/white dynamic and sometimes flawed laws get in the way of how important your specific situation is.
