Milton Goff, Family Attorney on Apr 9, 2020
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I am endorsing Don in the field of Family Law. He is an experienced attorney who has litigated several divorce and domestic cases in Kentucky.
Adam Bleile, Divorce and separation Attorney on Mar 25, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have known Donald for many years. I have even tried a case with him as co-counsel where I was second chair to him. I have referred him several domestic relations cases and will continue to refer more to him. He handles cases diligently and is meticulous in every detail. If he does not know an answer immediately, he will find the answer promptly. Great lawyer.
