Knowledgeable and compassionate attorney.

Donna is amazingly kind and helpful! Thanks to her many years of experience, she is exceptionally knowledgeable and wise when it comes to workers' compensation cases. Moreover, she truly cares about her clients' well-being, and she goes about her work in a highly compassionate and ethical manner. She... is also very generous with her time, and she responds reliably and promptly to questions and inquiries. You cannot go wrong by signing on with Donna!

Competence personified

I'd had a problem with an employer but wasn't sure of my rights or what direction to take in redressing a wrong. Donna consulted with me on a Saturday morning after I'd said my situation was time sensitive, and gave extremely helpful advice that I was able to put into motion by Monday. The very idea ...of litigation against a corporate employer can be daunting. I was speaking for a group of five, and some of us were losing our will to pursue a case. What Donna told us helped energize our cause and give us the drive we needed. She gets my highest rating. We really appreciated your help, Donna.

She'll fight for you!

I truly believe Donna Kay Law Firm had my best interests at heart from the very beginning. She came highly recommended by a family friend, and she more than lived up to those expectations. While I wasn’t always able to respond promptly due to my busy work schedule, Donna showed remarkable patience an...d understanding, giving me the time I needed to reply. Throughout the process, she guided me step-by-step, explaining what to anticipate with my claim against my former negligent employer. In the end, Donna went above and beyond—fighting tirelessly to secure a settlement that was three times the defendant’s initial offer. Donna’s determination never wavered. She didn’t back down, and she didn’t falter. Her expertise and strategic approach were evident every step of the way, and judging by my outcome, she seems to win every time. I never had to stress about the medical professionals’ final assessment of my injury, because Donna knew exactly how to navigate the situation to ensure I was compensated both fairly and justly.

Peace of mind!

Where do I begin… Donna is for sure one of a kind. I work with a lot of attorneys and even have some as close friends, but it’s not every day one will offer proper legal guidance AND come from a place of emotional care. Donna answered a lot of my questions and I feel so much more at peace with my emp...loyment situation. I will without a doubt pass her information along and recommend her to friends and family!

Outstanding Attorney

Donna Kay Cloer has been an absolute blessing in my life. She has walked me through my Workman’s Comp case with wisdom and empathy. Donna helped understand the complex path with doctors, labs, and depositions . Donna’s years of experience in her field makes her a great choice if you’re looking for... an attorney.
