TRUSTWORTHY, INFORMATIVE, WARM AND GOOD PEOPLE

This lawyer is like no other. Definitely a people person. My issue was not in his practice area but oh how I wish it was. He was extremely informative, pleasant and very warm person. I really wish I did have a case he could handle. He immediately earned my trust. He provided referrals and di...rectives as to how and where I could get the help I needed. He called me back within seconds of my call to him. He made me feel at ease immediately. He stayed on the phone and answered my questions and did not rush me at all. To be honest I did not know attorneys like him exist.

Initial consultation was very informative

I called Donald for some advice in lieu of an actual dispute being filed. Donald returned my call within the hour and was very detailed in his approach to finding the facts. He did not commit to his advice as he was responding purely to the facts that I had given and that was my expectation. Should m...y particular case move to litigation I will be engaging the services.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
