Donna Lynne Price

Hired Donna to defend my father's claim to his inheritance after his father passed. Donna missed a critical legal deadline and lost my father's right to even file claim to his father's estate. She repeatedly failed to communicate with us, no regular billing occurred,or returned phone calls, but afte...r keeping the $5,000 my father paid up front, she didn't hesitate to bill over $3,000 more for really not doing much of anything; just holding meetings with us, supposedly to make us believe winning was still possible, even though she knew she had already blown the 6 month legal deadline. She also could never keep facts straight. I spent an inordinant amount of time correcting careless mistakes (and yes, it cost US for these corrections) on documents such as facts and timelines. After my father's sister proceeded to sell the property that both she and my father should have inherited, Donna advised us that we should file a lis pendens on the property, but did not tell us that we would be held liable for any loss of sale. Had I not thoroughly researched this myself, my father could have ended up on the hook for $295K. And still, after all this time had passed, she never once informed us that she failed to file the TEDRA with the court within the 6 months the law requires. Furthermore, Donna was never available for months at a time. We were told one story after another about why she was unavailable, she fell and hurt herself; a family member was ill; she was ill; she was on vacation; the excuses were endless. As an attorney, she is incompetent at best, and as a person, unethical, to say the least. When I sensed something was wrong because she had let two years pass with no action, I hired a law firm in Tacoma to take my father's case. Donna had to scrape the files together because she obviously had not spent any time on it. What should have been an expeditious operation took almost two weeks. Donna repeatedly told me and the other law firm that our files were on their way to the new law firm's office, but after waiting nearly two weeks, I went to her office, and the files were on the corner of her desk, just sitting with a label on them. However she did remember to hand me a bill for over $3500 before I walked out the door. I would be concerned for anyone using her services, especially if they are elderly, like my father, and vulnerable to being taken advantage of, the way she did. Any honest, ethical person would have informed us of the error and refunded any unusued portion of their fee. Not Donna Price. She feels entitled to be paid for egregious errors, and doesn't hold herseld to account for her ineptitude or mistakes. She demonstrated herself to be self righteous, greedy, dishonest and unethical. Stay away!
