Sometimes, you find yourself at the wrong place at the wrong time, and trying to find a lawyer who understands you and your troubles, can be a stressful process. Stumbling upon Mr. Donath & his team online was a godsend! My unfortunate circumstance with the law required a lawyer who understood my sit...uation and would be able to deliver results. Mr. Donath and his team were absolutely that and more. From his legal staff to Mr. Donath himself, they were professional and understanding throughout the process, thorough in their explanations of California criminal law, and super accommodating with my situation, being from outside the area. I highly recommend Mr. Donath and his team.

Graham Donath represented me when I was charged with Felony Domestic Violence. From the beginning he was forthcoming and honest. He never wavered in defending my innocence. The case was ultimately Dismissed. He also helped me file a Motion of Factual Innocence that was Granted. I can say he truly re...stored my good name. I can Never Thank him and Ms Preciado enough.

I was lucky enough to find Mr. Donath by chance. I called 8 different attorneys offices in San Bernardino looking to speak to someone about a consultation for my case but no one was available to take my call. The 9th call was Mr Donath's office and I was greeted by a very friendly women named Carrie... who didn't treat me like someone who had a felony but just a regular person. I explained my situation...I had a felony for HS11366-M (Keep Place to Sell/Etc Controlled Substance). I had no priors to this case but having this felony on my record has meant that I could no longer obtain a great job and reach my full potential. I go to school for computer programming and I could forget about working for a fortune 500 company and provide for my family the way I would want to. In 2014 I was sentenced to a full term of 3 years in prison however, I was about 7 months pregnant. I agreed to suspended sentencing which meant I would have to be on probation for 3 years but at any time I violated it, I would still be sentenced to the full 3 years in prison. I explained my situation to Carrie and she passed it along to Mr. Donath. There was a change in law that took placed January of 2019 which would allow criminals who took a suspended sentence agreement to possibly have their felony reduced to a misdemeanor and expunged. Prior to this date, reduction/dismissal was not an option. Mr. Donath was knowledgeable about this new law that passed, informed me of it and was ready to help me get my life back in order. I hadn't been in any trouble since my sentencing. I just took care of business and led my life the best I could (going to school, working, taking of my family). Nothing but a happy ending here. I met Mr. Donath in court (my parents by my side for support), he was clean cut and pleasant as usual. By the end of my hearing, Judge Stodghill (pleasant) looked at me which a big smile and said "Congratulations Mrs. ******." My felony was 100% dismissed and my plea of no contest was changed to not guilty. This whole situation was the worse thing that could have ever happened but at that point, hearing those words from Judge Stodghill was one of the best moments. Mr. Donath, Carrie and Deanna changed my life and I could not me more appreciative. They were always honest, and ready to fight hard for me. Mr. Donath and his team we're worth every penny (which was more than reasonable might I add) and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a team ready to defend them.

I'm writing this today because I am grateful to have my family all together today and that's thanks to Graham Donath. I had found my self in a bad mistake I chose to do which changed my life for ever. having to search for a attorney I called Mr. graham, Graham was always supportive, positive and ...present to answer and reassure me about anything I was facing . Not only did Graham help keep me from ever having to go to court and jail he went out of his way to supply all that I was asking from him and more. Today I can move on from my mistake, and I couldn't be more thankful for the professionalism, knowledge and expertise that Graham provided for me. Thank you Graham, from everyone in my family, if you are struggling who to call I would 100 % say Mr. graham is your attorney. he made my case less stressful free.

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!
