Failure

He was the second attorney in my child custody case. I fired him because despite the fact that he received paperwork from the opposing party, he didn't even feel the need to call me. When he showed up at the hearing, I informed the judge that I had fired him. He knew he was wrong, but did nothing to ...make it right and I was forced to move 1500 miles away to maintain joint custody of my son with his abusive father.

Wonderfully satisfied!

Donn and his team assisted my husband and I with a termination of parental rights case and step parent adoption. Everyone in the office is very kind and considerate. Starting with day one he was very thorough, explaining everything so there was no confusion. He has always made us feel confident in ou...r case and what the end results would be. Donn is a very compassionate and understanding as well, which was very important during an emotional case like this. I am beyond satisfied with the work of him and his team.

Very Good Lawyer!

I had been hesitant to file for divorce for a very long time but Donn made the process a lot easier and faster than what I expected. I thought that my divorce and custody battle would take a long time, but Donn's legal expertise, guidance, and efficient communication, he was able to obtain the result...s I expected. I felt that Donn and his staff always communicated with me diligently and always knew precisely the progress of my case. I strongly recommend Donn for any divorce and custody issues you may have.

Custody Case

Donn Prokopius represented us in our custody case for our oldest daughter. He came highly recommended from a close friend of mine that had been in a custody suit for over a year. She explained to me that as difficult and time consuming the process was that Donn was professional and worked hard on h...er case. She was absolutely correct. I have to say I called several attorney's before I finally called Donn. I spoke with supposedly one of the top custody attorney's in town ( I was told) that came with a high price. I did not like the way she spoke about my case as far as what she was willing to do. I wanted the court to decide on facts where my daughter would be best placed, I believe it was with me. I did not want someone who would lack integrity, professionalism and common decency. I didn't want my daughter in the future when she was older to go back and see that I had said and done things that was dishonoring to her father and in turn cause her hurt. I wanted to ensure that my daughter would appreciate that her father was treated with respect. I will be forever grateful to Donn on how he handled our case. He was always up front on the possibilities of different scenario's. He always returned my calls and he always kept me up to date on our progress. His fee was reasonable and fair. I can't say enough positive things about his team. It would still do no justice to how amazing, quick, professional his team is. I have worked in real estate for a good of 10 years in the past and I had learned quickly never to refer anyone to an attorney. That has changed. I have refereed friends to Donn and no doubt if any of my family members need counsel it would be Donn if I have any say in it. This process is daunting for sure. I don't think there is anything more difficult than a custody dispute. At least in my life I have not experienced anything more trying. Thank you Donn, Jodi, Alex and Tom for helping my family get through this and bringing to light the facts and truths about this case and keeping my daughter with us, securing her safety! God bless!

Smart Decision

I retained Donn for my divorce/custody case. I interviewed multiple attorneys before I decided that Donn was the best for me. During the free consultation I observed a calm, yet very confident attorney. Like all the other attorneys, he explained my options and discussed his willingness to take the ...case to trial. He was straight to the point and did not provide "fluff". I was unable to pay the full retainer and was placed on a fair payment plan. Without his acceptance of my plan, I would have had to go to another firm. The opposition had many demands of me financially and Donn developed a "package" plan to present to her attorney to get her off of my retirement . From the beginning, I informed Donn that I was willing to negotiate with her to keep 100% of my retirement and that she keep 100% of her retirement. (If you don't know...Nevada is a community property state.) After multiple attorney meetings, Donn proctored the best plan for me and I didn't have to go to trial. I got everything I wanted (well...just about...the support law is what it is) and Donn saved me time and money by not having to go to trial. I highly recommend him as I have to several friends in Las Vegas.
