This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Professional

I reached out to the firm for a consultation on out-of-state relocation. Donny was the first person I spoke with and he was available to answer questions right on the spot. My situation was time sensitive, therefore Donny listened to my concerns and advised me on my options. Without hesitation I reta...ined his services and my motion was filed within two days. He was thorough and communicative throughout the entire process with the utmost professionalism.

A lawyer who has your back from beginning to end

Donny was very straightforward from the beginning with how the whole process would look like. My ex partner and I could not agree on small issues regarding a parenting plan, however, Donny supported my decision to take it further because of how important it was to me. He had my back and best interest... in mind. Overall, I'm pleased to have had him as my lawyer and will hire him again in the future if needed, thank you!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very Thorough

I am a mortgage lender and I had worked with one of Donny's client to complete a refinance that was required per their divorce agreement. The client understandably wasn't in a great head space and wasn't as organized. Donny went above and beyond any attorney i had ever seen in helping the client ge...t all their financials in a row, communicating with the other side when there was a delay and just held his clients hand every step of the way. I have worked with a number of clients in this type of situation and never had an attorney be so willing and accessible for their client. I can't imagine how much he does through the divorce process.

Worth every penny.

Donny made getting a divorce more fun than getting married. He was worth every penny. The guy has it all: Brains, wit, integrity, follow-through, and the rep and contacts to go with it. He was there for me at every step of the way, and he made what could have turned into a very messy divorce simple f...or this Senior at the University of Colorado at Denver (I wait tables and bartend to make ends meet). He could have been a stellar hostage negotiator, i.e., he knows how to deescalate. Luckily for me, he chose family law. Thank you SO MUCH for everything. I couldn’t have done it without you!

Highly recommend

Donny is professional and considerate. He listened to my desires and addressed all of my concerns. He helped me weigh my options when I had to make tough decisions. He returned my calls or emails within a reasonable amount of time. In my situation, my former spouse intentionally misrepresented fun...ds to cover up peculiar expenditures. Donny went the extra mile to find the true purpose of those expenditures. Many delays occurred but he remained persistent as the opposing party continued to delay. During the mediation process, he successfully fought to protect my interests. I would highly recommend Donny
