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.

Full Custody Father Thanks to Donny

My name is Adam and I'm a 28-year-old single father who hired Donny Secas as my lawyer for my custody case. As you know, going into custody court as a male is a very intimidating thing, but Donny did a brilliant job with my case, eventually leading to me attaining full custody. The first thin...g I noticed about Donny at our initial meeting that instantly separated him from the other lawyers I had consulted with was his genuine thoughtful line of questions and his vigorous note-taking. This showed me that I wasn't just "another client" but that this really mattered to him. Another great thing about Don was his ability to get the other side to work with us calmly and logically. My baby's mom didn't want to give me anything, but oddly enough she was happy to work with Don. As he puts it "You get more bees when you lead with honey". Instead of being overly aggressive, he earns the trust of all involved. Combine that with his great notes and understanding of the law. A+++

Custody of my nephew

Donny was the best lawyer I can imagine. I went to him regarding the custody of my nephew following the death of his father. Donny was not only professional and meticulous with this matter but was also compassionate. He responded to all of my questions in an extremely timely matter. If I need legal h...elp in the future he is the first I would go to.

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!
