Posted by Jason | July 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Zealous, passionate representation

Donny represented me and my family in a wrongful death action after my grandfather slipped and fell at a nursing home in Tustin and died, OC Superior Court Case No.: 30-2014-00746924-CU-PO-CJC. He did not require us to pay any money up front. We were kept informed every step of the way. Donny even de...ftly handled some conflicts between the heirs that arose during the life of the case. Donny rendered very practical advice on what was a very emotional case for me and the other plaintiffs. In the litigation, I had the pleasure of reading Donny's research and writing in correspondence to the plaintiffs and opposing counsel and motions filed with the court. Before certain court deadlines Donny worked around the clock to make sure that our court filings were perfect. Donny established a good rapport with opposing counsel and with the judge that was assigned to our case. After a short time litigating, we were able to settle the matter with the nursing home's insurer for a fair amount, avoiding the emotional and financial grind of proceeding to summary judgment or trial. I highly recommend Donny to any potential client who wants a skilled and ethical lawyer who will handle their case effectively and efficiently. Since the settlement, my family and I have relied on Donny for other transactional legal matters that he has successfully handled for us in short order for a reasonable fee.
