Great Lawyer

There is nothing worse than getting a divorce and then having to worry about custody issues on top of it. Donna has been through my divorce and custody case, taken my calls - multiple times in a week, sometimes with me in tears, and handled everything so professionally. Not only has she been a tremen...dous attorney for us, we leave every appt knowing she genuinely cares about us - most importantly, she cares about the well being of my children, and I couldn't ask for more than that!

Amazing

She was highly instrumental in my divorce. She made sure I got my children and got to keep my house. She keeps things simple and understandable. She took the time to answer all my questions and did not run up a huge bill. I would recommend her to anyone as a finicky lawyer.

Horrible lawyer

She never answeres he phone calls. And when you do talk to her she rushes you off the phone. She wants me to be ok with sending my son with her mom when she just got kicked out of 2 rehabs. If I would have read the below posts I would have never hired her. I paid her $3000 and all she did was come up... with excuses as to why we cants go to court. Been waiting to go to court for 4 months now. If anyone knows a good lawyer let me know because it’s not her.

Note that the date of this review is Christmas Eve...Some people crave attention ONLY when it is least convenient for everyone else. When a client goes out of his or her way to sabotage his or her own case, decides ON A HOLIDAY not to honor an agreement so HE can create drama, then pitch a fit when the attorney is compelled to withdraw, it is beyond pathetic and sad.

Excellent and most professional

I always recommend Atty. Donna Kay Leonard to anyone that has family issues: divorce, adoption, custody, modification of child support, or visitations. I have known Ms. Leonard since 2004 and for every instance that I have needed a "family law expert" it is to Ms. Donna Kay Leonard that I turn to an...d recommend highly. Ms. Leonard immediately gets to the problem and puts out the law references that she will apply and thus gets the case resolved. She has done excellent work in returning the children to the proper parent; has been able to modify the child support to where it is fair; the children that needed her defense are safe and in a good loving home with caring parents; I just cannot say enough good results for Ms. Leonard, I am so glad that I met her and besides being an excellent attorney, she makes the very best friend you would like to be associated with!!!!!

One meeting so far and already the stress level has decreased dramatically

My daughter and I have had only 1 meeting with Ms Leonard so far. She put us ease immediately. She is extremely professional. The information we have so far showed me she is very knowledgable. She's taking on a case with very short notice for court and, yet, we feel extremely relieved about t...he outcome. My granddaughter was snatched by her father and has denied visitation for 4 months for her mother for 4 months now. Dear God, bless this woman and help my long suffering daughter.
