Communicative, knowledgeable, kind
Donna was great from the start. I actually had originally chosen a different attorney who turned out to be very uncommunicative. In a process like this, it’s already overwhelming and emotions are high. Having someone be a reliable communicator was important to me. Donna was always on top of this and was open to talking via phone, text, and email. She worked with me over Christmas to get things done. She also worked tirelessly to push my former employer when they ignored messages, timelines, and issued my settlement late. Their communication throughout the process was almost non-existent, but Donna always followed up and made things happen. Donna was also very knowledgeable and good at explaining the law and this process. I personally wanted that level of detail and trust. Donna made me feel like I had an advocate and could really trust her expertise. Donna was also kind. Any situation where you need these services, it’s not fun. You question your competence and self-worth, and the process itself can feel scary. Donna went above and beyond to show kindness to me and understanding throughout this situation - while still being aggressive and smart (“a bulldog”) in the way you’d need your attorney to be.

Great lawyer got me 10 times more for my case
Donna Kay fought hard for my case and I got a settlement that was 10 times more than the insurance offered me. She is the only lawyer that I have had work for me that returns phone calls. When you hire Donna, you get her on the phone and not an assistant. She is easy to talk to, she listens, and explains your case fully. She fights like a tiger for your rights. If you need a great lawyer for your case, hire Donna Kay!

Injured on the job
It is my pleasure today to discuss with you my attorney Donna Kay. I cannot, and will not, discuss on an open forum private information with respect to my case and attorney client privilege. But what I can tell you is that my father was an attorney for 36 years and thus I have had the legal profession in my family for a long time. Donna is the kind of attorney my father was and would only have worked with. She is kind, generous, and smart. A true fighter and an extremely bright professional to have working for you as a Workers Compensation attorney. She will tear the other side apart to get you the treatment that you deserve. I’ve never met another more kind and bright attorney in my adult life as Donna Kay. Worker’s Compensation law is a very delicate and complicated field. Her 20 years experience doing it makes her the best of the best. No question. She will fix your problem, guaranteed….
