Extremely professional and compassionate

Don helped me (and my three children) through a difficult time with utmost professionalism, legal knowledge, and compassion. I could not have asked for a better attorney. My divorce outcome was much better than I could have ever expected thanks to him and his team.

Posted by Ricardo | April 28, 2015

Excellent Attorney

I had dealings with four other attorneys before I found Don and he was the most helpful, knowledgeable, and proactive lawyer I had dealt with. Don explained the nature of my case in realistic terms so that I understood the reality of what was to come. My case ended for the most part in my favor. All ...lawyers are expensive for us mere mortals but Don never charged for little things like a phone conversation or pulling my case from a file cabinet to look at it for 5 minutes and then bill me in a 1/2 hr. increment like some other firms do. His explanations are very educational leaving you well-informed and comfortable. I have continued to seek his counsel years after my case was complete and I have always been happy with his service. I would highly recommend Don to anyone.

Don delivers when others could not!

Having gone through four other lawyers in a particularly contentious case I sought out a lawyer that was knowledgeable, direct, time-efficient and truly willing to listen to my concerns and objectives. Don delivered on all counts. I really appreciated Don's effective use of time and practical appro...ach. I truly felt that he was in my corner and the corner of my daughter. I would highly recommend Don to any client that values the characteristics that I found so helpful in my case!

Set realistic expectations and worked to overcome obstacles

After attempting and failing a collaborative divorce, Don took over and was able to get things back on track. He was very communicative and was able to set my expectations correctly. He let me know how things worked, and what I could expect from the various stages. I felt that the opposition would a...lways delay on the back and forth with various details. In the end, Don was able to put a stop to that by offering to work directly with the opposing council for the final wording, thus eliminating another round of "back-and-forth" I knew my case wouldn't have the "perfect" outcome, but thanks to Don's communication, my expectation was set correctly, and I was able to plan for the outcome that I received.

Posted by Debra | April 24, 2015 | Child Support

Child Support 2010

I would highly recommend Donato, because he was able to get the most money possible for my children, and he was able to collect arrears money that was owed from years ago, until we went to court. He put deadlines on when the arrears needed to be paid, as well as any medical money owed to me, which wa...s in a short time. He offered to send a letter to my ex's employer so I can get paid weekly, like I was supposed to instead of once a month. He is very passionate about his career, and I would use him again for child support, or custody case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
