Professional, Fast, and Supportive Limited-Scope Representation

I retained Attorney Donald Nemec for limited-scope representation in a custody matter involving my significant other’s child, and I am sincerely thankful for the professionalism and support he continues to provide throughout this ongoing case. As someone who serves as a supportive figure in the ch...ild’s life, navigating custody issues can be extremely emotional. Mr. Nemec consistently takes the time to listen, understand the situation in full, and explain our options clearly. His communication is outstanding — prompt, detailed, and reassuring. His office staff reflects the same high standard of professionalism and kindness, always keeping us informed and organized. Even in a limited-scope role, his efficiency with document preparation and filings has been exceptional. He handles each task quickly and with precision, which has brought us significant peace of mind. Although his representation covers only specific parts of the case, his guidance has already made a meaningful difference. I highly recommend Attorney Nemec to anyone needing focused, compassionate, and well-communicated family-law assistance.

Horrible money hungry loser I mean lawyer

WARNING! find a REAL lawyer who is concerned about your case, because Donald Nemec is callous. He is just there to take your money. Over charge under deliver. Donald C. Nemec is Useless, Worthless, and ready to leave you penny less. Horrible lawyer with rancid breath came to court smelling terrible. ...

Dear Reviewer, Thank you for sharing your feedback, though I must express my concern regarding your comments. As a solo family law attorney, practicing since 2008, my priority has always been to provide compassionate and effective representation to my clients. I don’t know when or if I represented you in a case, but if I have recently, I need to be transparent by saying that I have had personal challenges lately, as I recently lost my wife and have had to adjust to raising three children alone while running a law practice. While this is not an excuse, it can help explain if you were in fact a client and had a bad experience. I take great pride in my work and the relationships I build with my clients, and I assure you that your claims about my professionalism and personal hygiene are not reflective of my character or the service I provide. If you have specific concerns about your experience, I would welcome the opportunity to address them directly. I understand that the legal process can be stressful and emotions run high, but it’s important to have constructive conversations. If there are particular issues you faced, please feel free to reach out. Sincerely, Donald C. Nemec

Neglect

Scam artist not an attorney Why is he allowed to practice law is baffling. Does not answer his phone , does not reply to emails or text messages , has you scheduling on his calendar and does not call you . It took a full year to get in front of judge and FINALLY I got a order BUT wait Donald was su...ppose to prepare it then review it with the other party and get it back to the judge ( the hearing was in July) it’s October and I still don’t have a copy This man was over paid Has countless numbers of family emergency’s Unprepared Has no clue what is going with these cases he keeps stealing money from people for I just want what I paid for and for the state bar to hold him accountable for playing with the lives of my children and myself Donald has no accountability , no compassion as he claims He is skating by as an attorney and should be disbarred

Dear Tammy, Thank you for sharing your concerns. I genuinely regret that you feel this way about your experience, especially given the challenges you faced during that difficult time. I want to acknowledge the personal circumstances that impacted my ability to respond promptly. My wife passed away while I was handling your case. Since my wife’s passing, I have been managing my practice while raising three young children alone, which has been an incredibly demanding journey. This does not excuse any lapses in communication, and for that, I sincerely apologize. It is important to me that every client feels heard and supported. I appreciate your feedback regarding the timeline and communication regarding your case. I understand how critical these matters are, especially when they involve your children. Over the past 2.5 years, my organization and focus has improved dramatically and I am proud to say that our team is handling more cases and better than we ever have before. I again apologize for the experience you encountered during my personal crisis. My clients’ trust in my services means a great deal to me, and I want to ensure all clients receive the attention and assistance they deserve. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, Donald C. Nemec
