Excellent Result
I hired Donald R. Holben for an employment dispute. He showed superior knowledge, determination, a take charge approach and he knows how to win. The results were excellent. I would highly recommend this law firm.

Donald R. Holben's Lawyer Endorsements
"Although relatively new as an Avvo volunteer attorney, it is immediately obvious that the answers of Mr. Holben are accurate, full of analysis, and customized to the needs of the Avvo askers. These are exactly the qualities that every client would look for when hiring an attorney. I have looked at the "negative" Avvo "client reviews" and I find the responses of Mr. Holben to each complaint to be detailed, non-emotional, and in the highest standards of the legal profession"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Donald Holben has many years of experience handling employment/labor law issues. He has a team of three competent lawyers who work for him. As a team they do a very good job of representing their clients. They also handle other kinds of civil and family law cases."
"Mr. Holben is highly experienced and been a respected lawyer in this community for many years. I endorse Mr. Holben and the team of lawyers at his firm."
