My Experience working with Mr. Donath was nothing short of exceptional. Even with an extensive criminal history, Mr. Donath was able to have the court agree to giving me some time to complete treatment and show the court who I've become. I was faced with 6 years in prison and was able to continue on ...a positive path serving my time on probation. I'm very grateful for everything Graham and his office did for me. They were supportive, congratulatory, and fought for my success the entire year it took us to get through my case. Thank you again. Highly recommended!!!!!

Amazing Lawyer and Group!!!

This Law firm is by far the most helpful, considerate, respectful, knowledgeable, and communicative group I have ever worked with. I had a horrible experience with another law firm that did not represent me and used scare tactics to get more money out of me and continue getting me unfavorable outcome...s. I finally reached out to this group for help and they were very understanding. They quoted me a very reasonable price for representation and we’re able to fix the mess my previous lawyer made and in fact improved my situation by getting me much better terms only after one hearing. They have given me hope for a better future and I would recommend them to anyone who is dealing with a similar situation as mine. I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me, they were a blessing in my life.

Best criminal defense lawyer around !

Graham is a great lawyer I was recommended from a friend he really helped who was fighting 25 plus years but he beat his case, in my eyes he's the best! He was always very responsive and made sure to get all the details he needed to beat my case. The DA was trying to at first give me time, then wante...d to put me on probation for 3 years but I couldn't accept that or even afford anything on my record because it would ruin my career. So with great communication and persistence Graham got my case dismissed with a small fine and community service. He truly is the best I give him 5 stars and I recommend you choose him you won't be disappointed. He is very honest and will tell you the truth, that’s what I love about him he promised he would help but went above my expectations, because of his hard work I can now follow through with my career.

Excellent Attorney and an Excellent Team

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.

Strait to the point

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.
