I got into a hit and run accident. It was very bad and a total accident because I was sleeping on the wheel (never do that, pull over). When I received a letter to go to court, I got worried and decided to find a lawyer. I am currently a college student trying to be a nurse and a hit and run convict...ion on my record could be very very bad for me. (like I cant get a job type of bad).. I made the mistake of not researching and found the first lawyer I could find under google. I thought all lawyers were the same and did the same practice. That was stupid of me. THERE ARE MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A GOOD LAWYER AND A BAD ONE. I was with that lawyer for a month but I didnt feel comfortable and overall I didnt trust this lawyer. I decided to cancel with that lawyer and actually do my research. This lead me to Graham Donath. This man is amazing. Not only did he have a great record of awards and successful cases, he made me feel like I could trust him and he would do his best to dismiss my case. Luckily for me, Hes also very familiar with the riverside court system because he used to work there as well. That means he KNOWS people. Judges, DAs you name it. Mr. Donath also has a wonderful assistant who made me feel calm whenever I got nervous and answered all my questions as quickly as possible. (She would relay my questions to Mr. Donath cause there are times when hes at court). I feel like a great assistant is a reflection of their boss and they were both amazing. Mr. Donath was originally trying to get my case dismissed with a civil compromise but the victim was not responding and so he switched gears and got my case to be Dismissed by DEJ which is very rare to get. Mr. Donath fought for me and won and that is the definition of a great lawyer. I honestly hope I wont need Mr. Donath's services again but if I make a stupid mistake and get in trouble with the law, then he is the first person I would go to. Hes also very student friendly and will work out a payment plan if needed!

My son was facing a misdemeanor and we were very stressed and worried as this was the first time we were ever involved in a criminal situation. After meeting a handful of lawyers, I had found Attorrney Graham Donath , After he listened to our case, He politely answered our questions and walked us ...through the process of what we were facing and told us the best and worse case scenario,.. however neither of them were as bad as We had been told before meeting him. Both my son and I felt a huge sense of comfort after our meeting and new he was the one. Attorney Donath not only helped us by getting the case dropped but he made it happen before our court date. Best Possible Outcome! We can't thank Attorney Donath enough. As his website said,.. It Does matter who you hire !

"Words can't describe how much I appreciate the level of professionalism and honesty I received as a client of the Law Offices of Graham Donath. Graham was always in contact with me through every step of my case. Easily accessible. Always courteous and attentive. He never sugar coated anything or ga...ve me false hope or unrealistic expectations. He was true to his word and got me everything I wanted out of my case. If you are on the fence about which law firm to choose, do yourself and your family a favor and trust in Graham Donath because he came through for me and I am forever grateful!! I truly wish there were 10 stars to give the Law Offices of Graham Donath. Graham represented me and he was very professional yet made me feel as though he was representing a family member of his. He is patient, persistent, kind, honest, effective, efficient, and gets the job done. Another quality I really liked about Graham that he doesn't like to lose!! I feel compelled to write a review for anyone seeking an attorney who will not just represent you but will make you feel heard and that your case matters ... Graham Donath is the one!!

I was previously represented by Graham in 2012, he got me out of 3 felonies. I ended up with a misdemeanor and had to serve 90 days house arrest. Since graham did such a great job I recently hired me to get my record expunged. He was able to get this completed within a week. I am very satisfied with ...his services.

Mr. Donath represented my son in a very complicated legal case. Without going into details, the stakes were extremely high. I found Mr. Donath to be very knowledgable, rational, & experienced. Legal cases with serious charges can have dire consequences & emotions are understandably very high for both... the defendants & their loved ones. Yet, Mr. Donath is able to remain clear headed, calm, & focused. He never loses sight of the goal; to provide the best possible legal defense & to get the absolute best possible outcome for his client. He is able to communicate & work well with the DA & Judge, which is absolutely crucial. The end result of my son's case was that all legal charges against him were dismissed. I am eternally grateful to Mr. Donath. I feel so lucky to have had him in my son's corner. I give him my highest recommendation to anyone needing a great defense attorney.
