Donnica Marie Blackful

Donnica has been representing me through what has become a high conflict divorce and extremely difficult situation but she has handled it with the greatest care and professionalism. I have reached out to her several times outside of normal business hours, sometimes in near panic and she has responded... with the care and patience of a personal friend. I can't count the number of times she has had to calm my nerves by taking the time to explain and break down the legal process and by recommending a best course of action. She takes the time to listen to and understand my personal situation which means so much when dealing with a highly emotional case where child custody is involved. She is very knowledgeable and will extend herself without trying to nickel and dime you for every second of her time. She was recommended to me and I have since recommended her to three other people and will continue to recommend her.

Do yourself a favor and get someone else. Seriously. First problem, She didn't file the divorce when she said she did, and it matters, She said she did though and further after both my soon to be spouse and I both brought it to her attention that there was nothing on the Fort Bend County website fi...led she minimized us and shoved the issue to the side after many inquiries but never actually looked herself until it was too late and my soon to be ex wife was able to file 2 months later! , Donnica didn't file. Because of this it cost me 10k. See my ex-wife signed an agreement for joint filing and she got a 10k bonus for signing this (My ex wife got the bonus at signing). However because it was never filed by my attorney Donnica,, My ex wife was able to file and open the whole can of worms up again. Total negligence. During the negotiations she was so irrelevant that the mediator went directly to me. She was a non factor. The good news is both sides attorneys were not engaged so it didn't matter. Later I needed two quitclaim deeds signed and returned to a lawyer in Wash state related to the same divorce case, I was awarded these properties. The opposing council has them signed on July 3rd and mailed on July 6th. I have proof of this. Donnica stated that opposing council mailed them 9/9/2017 but I have proof that is not the case. Whom to believe? These are just two of the highlights. Seriously. Over and over again things just didn't get done. Then when you talk to her she minimizes you and tries to run you over. However, In my case because of those deeds I lost a real estate transaction. I also lost 10k because of the failure to file on time. You have a lot of people against you in divorce. Get someone that you can trust to represent your best interest. For me that is not Donnica. Keep a journal of every activity and text that she sends and keep copies.

I hired Ms. Blackful and she has been nothing but a great help in my divorce . She was open and honest and explained what my rights are and things I thought were automatic she explained why they were not and informed me of what the true Texas law is contrary to what everyone was saying to me in my ...situation. I was disappointed at first because I thought I I had the upper hand but she assured me that she would do her best to make it easy for me and it turned out great. I would definitely recommend her she is Top Grade. Thanks You Ms. Donnica Blackful

Thank you Donnica for your infinite patience listening to every detail of my divorce situation at our first meeting and providing empathetic understanding and counsel on my various options. Throughout the nine-month proceedings you were easily reachable to discuss any issue and provide the pluses an...d minuses of alternative strategies. You continually looked for ways to find efficient resolution to questions and disagreements with my wife's attorney as well as to minimize extraneous efforts and associated costs. And above all thank you for becoming a trusted friend throughout this process. I am happy to recommend you to friends who need wise and efficient counsel.

This attorney was very difficult to get in touch with after she was hired . She definitely makes you feel like she's too busy (even after hired) and once she did reply to calls or messages she was very short in her answers . This was a stressful time and during the initial consultation she said she c...ommunicated often , and would be there throughout the process. None of that happened, I definitely felt lost and many times not sure if she still represented me .
