Awesome attorney

A man of his word. A fighter.

I was a frustrated family law client and would've rated Doonans service a 1 star. I expressed my concerns to Mr. Doonan and he made it right. He did what it took to fight for me, although it was a problematic case he kept his word and ultimately won after a long agonizing case. He is truly a fighter and a man of his word. Ultimately I got what I needed after a heavily contested case, he made it work. Today I give Will Doonan a 5 star and would highly recommend him for your case. He is worth every red cent and most of all is an attorney of integrity and grit. Hire him and he will do what he says which is very tough to find....a lawyer with integrity and will to fight for his clients. Thank you to him and his staff for a hell of a fight.

In the State of Texas, divorces typically involve the division of the marital estate, along with other issues. However, if there are children involved, then the Texas Family Code requires a mandatory joinder of the divorce suit and the custody suit.

Adoption

Going through an adoption is so much more than just earning a title or legal status. Under the law, it creates a parent-child relationship that is just as strong as if a child was physically born to a parent. Contact my office for more information.

Responsive advocate

I am an attorney in North Carolina and we needed help from a Texas attorney to have my client's child returned to her from Texas. I contacted Mr. Doonan who took my call, prepared the necessary legal documents and obtained a judge's signature within 24 hours so that my client could pick up her 4 year old son. His quick action and open communication with me and my client was outstanding!

Mr.Doonan

The most hard working and knowledgeable lawyer you can hire! I would recommend him over any other lawyer, I could not be anymore pleased with how he handled my case!

First Class Lawyer

My wife and I have been clients of Mr. Doonan now for the past two years. I am very proud to be writing this review on his behalf about how great him and his entire staff have been. It is not an easy task sometimes to find a lawyer you feel you aren100% comfortable with because of how these processes work. Its hard to put into words how to express how high the level of integrity and professionalism that he even deserves. This man has had a genuine care and understanding for us throughout this process, as my wife has had To unfortunately be in the court process by another individual. We have met with other lawyers and attorneys prior and can tell you that Mr. Doonan is of the highest morally, professionally and knowledgeably the best of any of them. I cannot begin to thank him AND his staff enough for his stand up, first class personality towards us and the way he has morally sound, handled our case! I would not choose anyone else to represent us. Thank you Mr. Doonan for the first class person you are, we couldn’t have asked for any better!

Absolutely saved me!

Will helped me through a criminal case in which a great deal of my professional life was in jeopardy. Anytime I was anxious or unsure about procedure or direction he was available to answer my questions, and made the entire process much more comforting than it could have been anywhere else. Incredibly talented and aware of how to navigate difficult systems!

Child Custody

My husband and I hired Mr. Doonan to help us fight custody of my step daughter. He was the best choice we could have made! He is a very professional and reliable attorney. Thanks to him we now have custody of my husbands daughter. He fulfilled his duty to the highest standard.

Response from William Doonan November 2, 2017

It was my pleasure to represent you. Thank you for entrusting your case to me.

Posted by Rachel | October 30, 2017

Gave excellent guidance and answered all of my questions.

Mr. Doonan and his staff assisted us with an adoption. Throughout the process, he clearly explained all risks, benefits of the various approaches to the matter, and always thoroughly answered any questions we had. I would definitely use his services again should we find ourselves needing a lawyer again.
