Wasn't sure if he was on my side or the state's

I honestly didn't know if he was on my side or the state's. Was extremely adverse towards me and genuinely didn't believe anything I had to say. He genuinely was not advocating for me. After changing attorneys, the person who had actually attacked myself and my family made a victim impact statem...ent in which they confessed to aggravated assault (in which I had acted in self-defense)... I'm looking back and considering having the verdict reversed due to manifest injustice now given his misconduct. It's really just a question of how much justice I can afford.

A tough lawyer that is very adept at overcoming obstacles.

Brian provided excellent representation for me. He was immediately my trusted adviser and strongest advocate. I had a tough situation, and he was very adept at overcoming obstacles as they arrived, and staying the calm, cool, collected element when I couldn't be. He was extremely prepared when it ...came time for trial. His expertise tipped the scales in my favor and I am really grateful for his help. I would recommend Brian to anyone that needs representation from a tough experienced lawyer.

Thorough, Agressive, and Considerate - The Best Attorney in Idaho

Brian is the best attorney I could've imagined as representation for my custody case. As a client with no previous knowledge of the legal system, Brian's expertise and experience was incredibly valuable and made the otherwise emotional process as smooth and straightforward as possible. He consistentl...y asked for my preferences, kept me informed on any and all progress in my case, and always let me know what to realistically expect as possible outcomes. Brian was very efficient as he guided me through the process, never wanting to present an argument that could not be won. His insight with Idaho law, as well as the judges and other attorneys gave me the assurance that my case was in the best, and most qualified hands. In addition to helping make sense of the legal process, Brian helped illustrate how potential arrangements would apply to life after court. Brian's attention to detail was immaculate. He was thorough in addressing not only my immediate concerns, but also any potential issues in the future. Brian made it evident that he truly cared about my case and diligently fought for my child's best interest. I cannot express enough praise for all of Brian's hard work and will most definitely utilize and recommend his services in the future.

President of Lakewood HOA #2

He addressed our problem with knowledge & concern. He kept us informed every step of the way. He went with us when we had to meet with the company concerning our dispute. Since he won for us, that indicates he knew what he was doing and he did it well & professionally. .

Boise's best attorney

Mr. Donesley is an attorney that actually cares about his clients. He kept me informed during every step of the legal process and asks for his client's input in the case. Brian worked for me for more than two years on a wrongful termination case against the State of Idaho. I was reinstated and rec...eived full back pay and benefits for the case. Brian truly has his client's best interest at heart.
