About

I try to bring a sense of practicality, humor and compassion to my matrimonial practice.  A divorced father of two boys, a practicing attorney for 30 years I am particularly sensitive to the divorce process, its costs and the emotional toll on all family members.  I attempt to educate my clients on the law and use my experience to help guide them make the best decisions.  Every client is unique and I handle every client matter personally.  Please visit my website at donaldwall.com to view a video and to find out more about my approach to my practice.

I was a former MD in finance, & after 30+ years of marriage, at just under 60 yrs. old, I retained Donald early 2015. My court approved final consensual settlement was processed in December 2019. (Timing was my ex's fault, she explored 3 attorneys in sequence.) I got to know Don fairly well over that time. He prefers a consensual agreement between parties, NOT court battles. - i suspect that his style minimizes the parties' angst, and doesn't maximize his billable hours per case. Speaking of which, he bills in 1/10 hour increments... and I found his bills always accurate and fair. (I've worked with lots of law firms professionally). Donald was always calm and cool even when I found retracing repeat issues with my ex supremely frustrating. He never fanned the flames. Importantly, because of some odd investments I had, Don was quick and effective at reaching tax, finance and accounting specialists whose input we needed to factor into our settlement. Weird bottom line, If I ever had to get divorced again, [which I will never never] I'd retain Donald.

I did not know of Don at the time of my divorce; however, when my attorney was retiring, he referred me to Don. I had numerous issues with my ex-husband an Don took the control and stress from me. He quickly diffused the situation and was instrumental in ensuring my children's welfare.

I highly recommend Don as a divorce attorney. From the beginning he showed himself to be a man of integrity and knowledge. Unlike other attorneys, Don was not out to try to run up a bill that was not necessary. He advised me to try to work out as much as possible with my ex-spouse before getting him involved. He is somebody who I was always able to count on and I always knew that my interests were primary in his negotiations.

Mr. Wall handled my divorce and I was very happy with his personal handling of the case. He is extremely knowledgeable with the different nuances involved in matrimonial law. He makes you feel comfortable at a very uncomfortable time in ones life. He takes a personal interest in each case he handles. I would recommend him without any reservations... He is great!.
