A True Advocate
Donna provided a sound and consistent legal voice throughout my lenghty ordeal. She is part counsel, part counselor and a true advocate that helped weigh the pros and cons of each situation as it emerged for both myself and my children. I highly recommend Donna and appreciate her work on my behalf.
