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.

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!

DO NOT HIRE !

If I could give this man a negative rating on this review board I would. Trying to reach Donny is like trying to get in contact with the President of the United States. He is always unavailable, never returns your phone calls, and rarely shows to court . If you need copy's if your paperwork Don't... hold your breath because you will NEVER receive it. This man gives lawyers a bad reputation. Avoid hiring this guy, he is a waste of your time and money , I'm over 10,000 dollars in debt because of this man, and I have been trying to get divorced since 2007. Since hiring Donny I am still married, and more in debt then I have ever been in my life.

This is a reflection of the firm that I previously worked for. As an employee of that firm I was constrained to follow their billing procedures. I truly wish Mike the best and I hope he understands that his situation was out of my hands due to the constraints on me by my former employer. I left the firm more then seven (7) years ago.
