Professional
Like Dawsons the man if you want to get a record expunged no hassles to the point and keep you updated and I completely recommend this man for the job thanks Mike

help with case
I hired Mike Donaldson to help me with early termination of probation and expunge my record. He was quick to request a hearing and was able to get me off on the first hearing. Price was fair and on par with other lawyers in the area.

You're the man, LF. Pleasure meeting you and very happy Prop 64 helped you out! Best wishes to you and your family down the road.
"I had the pleasure of meeting Mike at the Trial Lawyers College. He is an incredibly compassionate man who truly cares about his clients. I hope I never need his services, but if I do, I would be grateful to have his experience on my case."
"Mr. Donaldson is not only an extremely personable individual with whom it is easy to get along, he is also quite a talented attorney. I have personally found him to be informed and knowledgeable and would not hesitate to contact him for assistance. An individual in need of his services could not do better elsewhere. I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Donaldson puts the well-being of his clients above all else, and brings his extensive experience in the public defender's office to bear on every case. He's seen it all. When I need to refer someone to an attorney in the Temecula area, he's the guy I call. Highly recommended."
"Mr. Donaldson is a zealous attorney who is very knowledgeable, professional, and caring. I highly recommend Mr. Donaldson."
"I know Mr. Donaldson as an aggressive, hard working and excellent advocate for his clients. He is trustworthy and will vigorously defend your rights and your freedom. I endorse this lawyer."
