Easy, attentive, effective

I hired Brendan Donckers to advise me on a challenging matter between myself and my contract client. Brendan did his homework very well; he took the time to carefully review all materials I had available. He was able to quickly identify several issues that I had not seen, and helped me to prioritize ...my concerns. Most importantly, he was very easy to work with; he listened closely when I outlined my main objectives, and advised me on a sensible approach that took these into account. In the end, all remaining issues were firmly resolved to all parties' satisfaction while avoiding escalation. If your needs overlap with Brendan's areas of expertise, I am able to offer my highest recommendation for his services.

When Only the Best Will Do

Lawyers are like doctors, truly. We all hope that we never need one; but if we do, we want, and need, the absolute best. In respect to the absolute best, I can say that I found that in Brendan. As a person of color (more specifically a black male), I unfortunately encountered extreme racial aggressio...n and discrimination on my job. As you might imagine, that alone brought with it great stress. Then, add having to deal with the legalities and legal battles that come along with that. Those two things combined are enough to drive anyone crazy, and they nearly did me. What made my legal journey different was Brendan. I can say unequivocally that he is one of the fiercest, most compassionate, knowledgeable, and responsive legal advocates that I have ever encountered in life. Put simply, he does not play. Past that, the level of kindness and professionalism with which he treats his clients, and approaches his practice, is beyond reproach. If you are reading this now, that likely means that you are looking for good legal counsel. To those looking for “good”, I’d tell you to keep looking. Those looking for phenomenal, Brendan is definitely your guy. It takes me a lot to write a review, but this one was easy to write. I am incredibly thankful that Brendan is a fierce legal advocate for ALL people. If you give him a call, I can say with absolute certainty that you’ll be glad that you did.

I felt like his top priority

I came to Brendan with a very troubling legal issue and he made me feel like he was on my side and explained the issues to me in a clear way I could understand. I always felt like my case was a priority to him, even though he had other clients he was working with at the time. He kept me updated throu...ghout the entire process. In the end, the final outcome was even better than I had hoped! I highly recommend Brendan... he is a zealous advocate who fights for his clients no matter what the issue is.
