Donna Leigh Ginzl

I have hired Donna twice for custody/placement and now grandparent visitation rights. Donna is very respectful and professional. Donna has made me feel confident even though she never promised me any results she promised to work hard on these two cases. Donna is a very good laywer that I trust, she ...has true passion and has put my mind to ease. Donna also is very understanding and very easy to get along with. I recommend her to anyone that needs a laywer. I'm very grateful I have Donna as my laywer she's handled alot of things that I wouldn't of known to do as I'm not fimilar with laws. Donna has helped me understand the laws by explaining everything so I could understand. Thank you again Donna for all your hard work! Your an amazing laywer!

Divorce is difficult even in the best of circumstances. Being on the other side of a year-long uncoupling, I can look back now and recognize a few key pieces of advice I would offer to anyone in the beginning stages First, do not try to do it alone. The ability to navigate Pro Se and part ways amicab...ly is certainly not the norm, especially if a third party/new significant other is involved. I tried to conduct my divorce Pro Se for several months before hiring Donna. Looking back, I should have hired her immediately, it likely would have expedited the processes much more efficiently. Donna was more than my attorney. She was my champion. My children’s champions. She always handled herself with the utmost decorum and had our best interests at the forefront of every discussion. Second, get the opinion of someone who has been through the process or is in the field. An attorney friend of mine recommended Donna. She told me Donna would do the job well, and she did. She was on top of everything, even when my ex-husband’s attorney was not. We never missed a deadline, and Donna came prepared for each hearing, anticipating all curve balls. We finalized on primary placement of our children months before finalizing the divorce because Donna had the foresight to have the documentation ready and on hand at a pre-trial date. Third, choose a lawyer you can relate to. Divorce is brutal. Working with an attorney you do not like, makes it much, much worse. Working with Donna made a bad situation tolerable. She was not the slick, out-for-herself attorney that you always hear about. She listened to my concerns, responded to all my questions, told me when she thought I needed to take a break from all things divorce, and even looked at me, more than once, and said, “you look like you need a hug” and then gave me one. Donna was more than my attorney. She is someone I would call my friend. I owe Donna far more than I could express. In a divorce you give and take. You never get everything you want…but I got what was most important. My children. If all of this isn’t enough to convince you of Donna’s prowess, I’ll leave you with this: Donna is now representing a client referred to her by my ex-husband. Turns out he thought she was pretty good as well. That is one thing we can definitely agree on.

Attorney Ginzl represented me in my divorce and custody dispute proceedings. Her knowledge and impeccable intuition helped me to achieve my desired results in both situations. She was always organized, efficient, and prepared to handle any situation that arose (and, yes, many curveballs hit us... throughout the process). She was supportive and ethical, as well as honest and straightforward with me regarding what I could expect. Although both the divorce and custody dispute were extremely emotional and difficult times for me, Attorney Ginzl's representation made all the difference. She communicated with me frequently throughout the process. Above all, Attorney Ginzl skillfully fought for my interests. She is VERY good at what she does, as was demonstrated by how she calmly and confidently represented me throughout the proceedings.

Donna Ginzl is a true warrior in court. She knows the law very, very well and has a unique ability to use any of her downfalls as strengths in court. She is one of the best attorneys I have ever observed in Court and she files the paperwork to back it up. There isn't another attorney out there t...hat I would recommend for custody issues. I should know. I had 4 different attorneys and my sons mother had Donna. Guess who lost? That's right- I did. I have referred many other people to Donna despite being the opposite party's attorney. What is good is good and Donna is excellent. Many attorneys in this area may talk a good game but do nothing to back it up. Donna is the opposite. She doesn't have much to say unless it is in Court. I would highly recommend Donna for any custody matter that you may have. She is worth the money and will save you the heartache of your life.
