As a seasoned trial lawyer, I needed help when my ex-wife (a former trial lawyer) filed for divorce. Although Donna Stepp came highly recommended, she far exceeded my lofty expectations. Donna's advice was clear, direct, and extremely valuable. She is analytic, efficient, and responsive. Her courtroom style was among the best I've ever seen. She's far more homework than histrionics. The judges respect her knowledge, skill, integrity, demeanor, and professionalism. She treats all people well, which is really important in the long run. Each member of Donna's staff reflects these wonderful qualities. The Stepp Law Group is a class organization. I will be forever grateful to each one of them! Following their advice saved me a lot of money and, more importantly, helped me preserve my relationships with my kids through along and painful process.

Donna Stepp has been our family attorney for many years. She is very professional but is also very compassionate with her clients . She discussed my case with me in depth and has always answered my questions honestly. Ms. Stepp has never sugar coated her words instead she explained the law and how it applied to my particular situation. She has the upmost integrity in and out of the courtroom. Donna Stepp has represented our family many times concerning child custody.. We never left the courtroom disappointed with Ms. Stepp . She was confident, caring and most of all respectful of all involved. Most of all Donna's clients /children involved are her priority. Ms. Stepp's staff is very professional, courteous and dedicated as well. Phone calls are always returned and questions answered. Donna's legal service is invaluable my family, public and our community. Donna Stepp is a legal jewel and very much appreciated and recognized for her dedication and hard work.

Donna and her staff always treated my case as if it was as personal to them as it was for me. She was able to give me advice on what to expect and how the process would work. From start to finish it always seemed as if she was preparing for what was next before it would happen (court and ex's reactions). Nothing was ever set in stone, she would lay out all the options, pros and cons, and wait for my feedback. She was very helpful guiding me through the tough decisions. Probably the one of the biggest differences I noticed was her honesty. Unlike a prior atty I had she laid out the good, the bad and the ugly instead of just sugar coating things and giving false hope or setting us up for failure. To me that is a thing most people will not do any longer. Most will lie to make you feel good and then just say well it didn't work out. That is not Donna's style and I applaud her for that. I will recommend her to anyone and everyone I encounter that needs help like we did. My children and I will forever be grateful for the gift she provided us. I hope my review is helpful in your decision making.

If you want someone who will fight for you during your legal battle then Donna Stepp is the lawyer for you. She is very knowledgeable with the law and with her number of years of experience is a pro in the courtroom. I will definitely choose Ms. Stepp again if I need legal help!!!!

Donna Stepp is professional and experienced. Hiring her for the child custody matters was the most peace of mind you can get in such a high anxiety situation. She is mindful of the personal nature of the situation while remaining a dependable professional who intimately knows how the courts work. I know I do not have the clarity to express how much I valued her throughout our ordeal. She is well worth the investment. Because of her, even when things may not go for my ideal, I know I did everything in my power to give my child the absolute best. Donna is well worth the investment.

Donna is a knowledgeable attorney who is personable and approachable, which is not always the case with many attorneys. She listened to my concerns and understood that emotions are high in domestic cases and she provided reassurance and calmness throughout my case. She was always prepared and was thinking ahead during each stage of my case. Donna commands attention in the courtroom and is respected for her professionalism. There are not too many attorney's that I would have positive comments, but Donna Stepp and her staff truly deserve a strong review.
