Absolutely amazing attorney

I was facing legal charges in 2017-18, having poor finances I didn't want to be defended by a public defender but couldn't afford the outrageous prices of some other attorneys. Upon a few searches my family came across Mr. Nemer. His response was immediate and was very professional. My situation was ...very bad and there wasn't much of a good ending in sight, Donald not only stuck by my side he was extremely caring and understanding. Very good listener and did everything he could to get me the best possible outcome, and that he did. My situation went as well as it could have ever gone with Donald doing everything he could to help me. Years later I receive a probation violation. In a divined intervention Mr. Nemer seen me in that situation and reached out to my family to check in on us and make sure all was ok. He was ready to stand up and fight for us once again and having just had the case completed he once again defended me the absolute best it could have ever gone. I've never met such a caring person that truly cares for his clients and creates such a bond with those he helps. He has gone above and beyond to checking in making sure wheels are turning in the right direction with the legal process. Absolutely the best attorney anyone could hire and I extremely highly recommend Donald to anyone that needs help and doesn't want to sell their house to afford a different attorney. My family has been blessed to have met Donald Nemer. Thank you very much Don!!!

Will always be there.

My case was looking to be very bad until I hired Don Nemer as my attorney. It took an extremely long time due to the pandemic but he always answered my calls, he always showed up to court, and he always tried as hard as he could to help my situation. My situation just ended and it came out much bette...r than I thought it would have a year and a half ago. I would definitely recommend this lawyer to anyone who is have legal problems.

Donald Nemer is a Great Person and Lawyer

Donald is a very bright, caring, friendly, results driven, and honest Lawyer. I have a clean record and I was facing disorderly conduct at a bar as well as fleeing the police on foot. Donald showed that he cared about me, my reputation, social status, and that his ultimate goal was to get those cha...rges dismissed. I felt that the charges were unjust and that I wasn't guilty. I was afraid that if I was charged, I could potentially risk losing my financial securities license and job. The two charges were brought on a whole year ago and the pre-trial kept on getting postponed because of COVID, civil unrest in Minneapolis, and a delay in gathering of the police body camera. Donald was patient, hung in there, and he was able to get my charges dismissed with one year continuance. I paid a very small fine and charges will be completely dropped after 1 year just as long as I don't commit a crime within the next year involving alcohol. I'm looking forward to a Happy New Year! Thanks Donald!
