On The Ball

Don handled my unfortunate Divorce. He was first concerned about me and my children and wanted me to be sure I was making the right decision (not typical of a lawyer). Then he coached me on the least expensive way to go about the proceedings, again not typical of a lawyer. Once we started the proc...ess I was surprised how attentive and responsive he was. Everything was taken care of in a timely manner. My emails were returned almost instantaneously. This guy really knows his stuff. He was coaching my ex-wifes lawyer on the right way to file paperwork. This guy truly cares about you, your family and your well being. I would highly recommend Don for your next divorce :-).

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
