Mr. Budman has completely exceeded my expectations throughout various situations. His dedication and professionalism has consistently made otherwise unfortunate circumstances very easy to understand and resolve. I would highly recommend him for any situation within his wide array of expertise.
I was recommended to Don by a mutual friend (and long-time client) and it was an instant match. Don immediately put me at ease with his extraordinary knowledge base and demeanor. We’ve already done several major projects together, and I know Don has us covered from every angle. Contracts, partnership agreements, and litigation are just a few of the directions we’ve traveled together. Don’t hesitate to hire this man.
Don has been there for us through all of the trying times there can be in a successful business. Many people will see your assets as their retirement plan. Don has come to our defense time and again and we have never lost a case with him. He is the only attorney I have ever witnessed fight as hard for you to keep your assets as you did to earn them. He has also assisted us in setting up trusts, new companies as we have grown, and provided advise on many different fronts. He has 35 years of experience so there isn't much he hasn't seen. If you need someone, and it's important to you, I would recommend Don Budman. He won't tell you what you want to hear, he will tell you what the next step is and what we are going to do about it.
I am pleased to take this opportunity to post a review on behalf of Don Budman, Esq. I have known Don for over 25 years in his capacity as my divorce lawyer several years ago and ultimately a colleague when I transitioned from the practice of medicine to becoming a lawyer myself. I am therefore in a good position to comment on Don as a professional and a lawyer. When you seek the counsel of a lawyer, one is venturing into a foreign land where the risks, the traps, the economics, and the ultimate result are often unknown and unpredictable should litigation or negotiation be necessary. The paramount issue then becomes one of trust between client and counselor. In Don Budman, you will find a knowledgeable, hardworking and trusted ally to see you through your situation whether it's getting a new will drawn up or seeking justice and compensation from someone whose negligence has caused you harm. I can offer an unqualified recommendation on behalf of Don Budman.

As a restaurant owner, Don has represented us on multiple occasions and we have won every case together. He has set up Limited Liability Companies for us, created a trust to protect our interests, advised us on a wide array of issues at all hours of the day and night, and has done it all with a calm we only wished we possessed. Don has advised and assisted in property purchases as well as reviewed purchase contracts for our companies saving us literally hundreds of thousands of dollars and the deal still went through! He has defended us all the way to the Circuit Court levels and has been victorious on all occasions. I am not sure what else you can say about a guy that fights as hard to protect your assets as you did to earn them except thank you. If you need a man to advise you, protect you, go to court with you, or get you what you deserve I know of no other lawyer I would call. Thanks Don!!!
