Brian represented me on my felony DUI case back in 2016. From the beginning he was transparent and realistic about my options and possible outcomes. He was able to get me a withheld judgement on my 3rd offense and zero jail time. I couldn't be more pleased with the out come. The only thing I'm upset about is the fact that I didnt get positive review of.him in after the case was settled... Better late than never I suppose! Thanks Brian!

Mr. Brian Donesley is the one to call. He helped me through my DUI case with grace. Having him guide me through the process was the best decision I made. He is a fair and honest man who will help you through some of the most challenging and stressful times a person can experience. Without him on my case I would have felt completely lost and taken advantage of. He got me the best deal possible and made each step of the way comfortable for me. Thanks again Mr. Donesley!

I did my homework when looking to hire an attorney and I’m glad I did. I found that Brian was Stanford and U of I educated. Had a 40 year track record of success and was an expert of the law specifically dealing with alcohol related issues. I had a DUI case that was 11 years old due to work issues and moving around the country. Anyways upon return to Idaho I knew I would have to handle this and began seeking out an attorney. I hired Brian and he was able to get my 11 year old court case reduced down to reckless driving. I would recommend Brian to anyone needing a skilled attorney. I couldn’t be happier.

Brian provided excellent representation for me. He was immediately my trusted adviser and strongest advocate. I had a tough situation, and he was very adept at overcoming obstacles as they arrived, and staying the calm, cool, collected element when I couldn't be. He was extremely prepared when it came time for trial. His expertise tipped the scales in my favor and I am really grateful for his help. I would recommend Brian to anyone that needs representation from a tough experienced lawyer.

Mr. Donesley provided excellent service and knowledge in getting our case resolved quickly and efficiently. The outcome was even better than we could have hoped for, and we will hire him again when we need an attorney. His rates were also very reasonable.

I have hired Brian in numerous capacities over the years from an employment law issue, family law and for the non-profit organization that I founded and continue to operate. I can always count on Brian to provide solid legal guideance in my personal and/or professional life. I especially appreciates his willingness to assist me in handling situations in non-legal ways that keep me from spending money needlessly. Brian is a dedicated professional who will do a great job for you. I highly recommend him.
