Straightforward and results driven

I can't express enough the immense gratitude that I have for Donny and the staff at Sallah and Fig. At the most difficult time in my life he gave me a sense of hope and security rooted in professionalism and integrity. Donny is very knowledgeable, clever, and surprisingly empathic in a field that is ...known to be otherwise. It's needless to say how daunting the process of divorce (including a custody battle) can be, especially as a father. However, Donn'ys experience gave me a realistic vision of how to approach my situation. Long story short, I was able to get the most important thing to me, residential custody of my kids and the peace of mind to know that they are going to have the best opportunity to thrive in spite of such a traumatic experience.

Divorce

I highly recommend Donny to anyone who is going through a difficult divorce. Donny took the time to listen to me and stood by my side the entire time when I felt like I was backed up against the wall by my ex. His expertise in family law and his kindness made it so easy for me to trust his advice. ...He fought for my rights as a mother and he was very good with his words when speaking to my ex and other lawyers. He really knows how to gain trust and he is smart about how he does it. If you are looking for a lawyer that will fight for your rights and do what is right without dealing with the other persons BS then he is the lawyer you want to hire. I ended up getting everything I asked for. Worth every penny.

Divorce

I hired Donny. He became highly recommended by a friend. I received nothing I wanted in my divorce that I "guarantee" by Donny in the beginning. He wanted the case over with because he was leaving the firm. I received an email days after we were in court from the firm he had left. I had no idea bef...ore this. I received no child support, custody is 50/50 and my ex is responsible for no bills in the house that is still part owner of. My ex husband will get half my retirement.

Can’t say enough good things

Just an absolute incredible attorney, worth every penny! I have spent the last 7 years going through a bitter divorce and post divorce battles in court using a different unnamed attorney. Things dragged on for years and the bills just racked up. I finally switched attorneys to Mr. Secas, and wow!! J...ust wow!!! He was incredible, not only did he put an immediate end to the current issue I hired him for (and I mean immediate end) but just his mere presence as my attorney quickly resolved a second matter I that was handling for months pro se before I hired Mr. Secas. He knew his law, and he was not going to be pushed around by anybody. The lawyer he was up against was renowned for dragging court cases out to milk money from the clients, in my divorce, that attorney dragged it out for seven years, but one visit in the court room with Mr. Secas and he managed to shut down the entire case. I was blown away! If you want an honest attorney that fights for your rights and does right by you and your children , hire this man. No dragging out court matters for extra cash from clients, no nonsense , just cases handled efficiently and effectively. I can’t thank him enough, he saved my children!

Skilled & No Nonsense

The horror stories you hear about lawyers do not apply to Mr. Secas. This man is as honest as they come. He gives you honest answers to all your questions. After my first meeting with Mr. Secas I saw the passion he has for the field and the fact that he thinks ten steps ahead of everyone to ensure... success. He ran circles around my Wife's attorney. Thank you Donny.
