EXCELLENT LAW FIRM

December 20, 2017 Dear Jeff and Everyone, What words can I possibly use to express what is in my heart right now. I really lucked out the day Lorinda and I walked into your office. I would of never dreamed what had started out as a business relationship would develop into another “OHANA” (Fami...ly) for us. You all are wonderful people and an UNBELIEVABLE LAW FIRM!!! Jeff and Mercedes, without your deft skills, warm style, experienced perspective and your “NO BULLSHIT” attitude; Lorinda and I couldn’t have made it through the most difficult fight of my life and our relationship. You both are “rare gems” that we are very fortunate you were on our side! To Everyone; “Mahalo Nui Loa” (Thank you very much) for recognizing our feelings and needs every time I called or we came into your office. I definitely realize at times it wasn’t very easy for all of you. You all handled it with extreme grace! We both enjoyed the stories you shared with us, your constant reassurance and hard work. It has been truly a blessing to work with all of you! “Aloha nui loa” (Fondest regards) and “Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hau’oli Makahiki Hou” (Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year)! Kathleen Evans & Lorinda Flikkema

Great Attorney and Law Firm

I was in an automobile accident and injured my wrist. I received treatment for several months and when a new adjuster came on board to my case he denied my claims and called me a liar. I contacted Mr. Donchez and they handled everything from that point on. Professional, knowledgeable and worked hard... to win a settlement in my case.I am grateful Mr. Donchez was on my side! I cannot say enough good things about Donchez Law Firm.

Before each step, he made sure that my health and mental well being were of the utmost priority. His dedication and professionalism ...are impressive!
