Donald Blake Serafano

n June of 2024, I visited an NFDA office and met with Donald B. Serafano to discuss a probate that needed to be filed so that my sister, (Norma G. Cruz) would not lose her home. Donald reassured my sister that it would take " 4 or at most 6 months". Donald stated "the case is not complicated". That d...ay, they asked for $4,000 upfront. The attorney took total of $13,500 and this case was not filed. In late January 2025, I demanded a full refund from the NFDA and Donald. Donald wanted to talk on the phone, so I agreed. A phone call was arranged on 2/05/2025 (8 months after he stated he would file and did not. This call was a recorded line) in that conversation, Donald stated that everything would be filed "no later than Friday" (02/07/2025). Once again, Donald lied as nothing was filed. To be clear. For the first time, Donald asked me to sign court paperwork, in the first week of February 2025. This simply means he had never filled paperwork for this case before. This also means he had never worked on this case. An email was sent to Donald request a full refund. Due to Donald NOT filing the probate, my sister is being sued through a judicial court, and now will lose her home. Someone else is helping us with documents for this current probate and the lawsuit. We are also seeking an additional $2,500 as we are seeking help elsewhere. On 2/12/25 Donald was e mailed and mailed a certified letter of this very complaint. Donald refused the certified letter and paid $5.58 for the letter to be returned. Donald feels because someone else (not him or his office) Field the probate, I should not receive a refund. Donald states he doesn't "understand what" I'm "so mad about

Donald assisted my Fiancé and I in staying in our apartment after falling a couple months behind on rent. When we were first served the eviction notice we literally had no clue what to do. Donald was able to help us negotiate a reasonable payment plan to pay back the property owners and he made the ...court process very easy and stress free. I would recommend his services to any one who is facing eviction.

Mr. Serafano's case knowledge and assistance were invaluable. I was being cyber/in person stalked by an ex-client for a period of over 2 months. Mr. Serafano knew exactly how to handle the case and once I hired him and he stepped in the harassment ceased and he helped me win my case. I was a nervous ...wreck and very anxious regarding my court date. Mr. Serafano assured me that my case was viable and that everything would be ok and that he would be by my side every step of the way. Thank you so much. I will forever be in your gratitude.

Donald Serafano is a very passionate lawyer that shows empathy to each client that he attends to. It is both in his experience and personality that makes understanding your situation that much easier. His professionalism and knowledge in both the cases that he assisted with. Serafano kept me up to da...te every step of the way from as little as court jargon to as much as what options I had on my case.

I was caught going over 100 mph. The officer cited me for VC 22348 b. I was facing 2 points on my license, a huge fine and my license was going to be suspended for 60 days. Mr Serafano went to trial for me. My charge got reduced to VC 22349 a. Only 1 DMV point, $100 fine plus a 10 day suspension.... Mr Serafano did a great job for me and I will always recommend him.
