"I worked as a law clerk for Don throughout law school and we still continue to do business together. I owe everything I know to Don and recommend clients to him when I feel Don would be the best person to handle the matter. Even if Don doesn't end up being your attorney on the matter he will offer you excellent advice from both a legal and personal perspective. Don has been an outstanding mentor to me and I would recommend his services to any client in need of an attorney who is highly knowledgeable in general business litigation, criminal law, personal injury, family law, and aviation matters."

"Don Werno was the opposing counsel in one of my cases. He approached the case in a business like and rell reasoned fashion. He was well versed in the law and procedure and was always well prepared for court appearances. In the end, we were able to help our clients resolve their seemingly unresolvable differences via settlement without the added expense and aggravation that accompanies litigation. His client was well represented."

"I first met Don in a law school legal writing class. Don impressed me with his intelligence and his willingness to help other students with their legal writing assignments. Don did well in school and we stayed in touch after law school. I have occasionally asked Don for advise and he has always been willing to give me his time and energy to work through the questions that I had. Don is extremely knowledgeable in the areas of Civil Litigation, Business Law, Family Law and Criminal Law. I have also referred clients to Don for assistance and those clients have reported back that Don was professional, extremely helpful and that he did a great job for them. I would not hesitate to refer clients to Don in the future and I am glad to have him as a colleague."

"Over the course of more than two years, I worked for Don, first as a Law Clerk and later as an attorney. Don was an ideal mentor and colleague in that he has the personal integrity to be honest with clients, opposing attorneys and the Court. Don works incredibly hard to help his clients get the best possible results and is always fair with respect to the fees he charges and the things for which he bills. I am sincerely glad to have had the opportunity to have been mentored by such an ethical, hardworking attorney and it has had a positive impact on my career and the way that I practice law as well. Don is one of the few attorneys that I have met who can fluidly move from one area of the law to another as he has been practicing civil litigation, criminal and family law for many years and has truly mastered his craft."
