Donna Farar Jewett

Donna CANNOT be trusted - We will end up filing a bar complaint against her for many reasons but here are just a few to note: When we finally had had enough of Donna Jewett's inaccurate and exorbitant charges, her lack of follow-up (and follow-thru) on our case, her inaccessibility, her rude and cu...rt behavior towards us, we finally cut our losses and retained another much more reputable attorney. It was only then that we found out that there was a HUGE conflict of interest in our case which Donna failed to disclose to us. She and the opposing council are great friends outside of work. It was then that everything finally made sense to us - instead of working to resolve our case, she and the opposing council were obviously and blatantly only prolonging it in order to both pad their fees. We were also told that Donna had a “habit” of "referring" her clients and used other "expert witnesses" in her cases that gave her kickbacks and who would also work to again complicate and prolong the case so that she could charge her clients more. (We couldn't understand WHY we were having such issues with EVERYONE she referred us to - as they all seemed to be working AGAINST US and not FOR US)!! She was also unresponsive and didn't file paperwork in a timely matter - then had to back pedal with the courts which aggravated the Judge and further caused issues with our case. She refused to credit us for the time she spent correcting HER mistakes. Unfortunately, again we discovered all this much too late and are now out thousands of dollars and have a Judge who is understandably as frustrated with our case as we are. In addition to changing to a new attorney we now have to petition the courts to ask for a new Judge in our case as well. Hiring Donna Jewett was the WORST decision we ever made.
