Donna really stuck her neck out for me. Being a sinlgle dad 16 years ago I had a lot going against me. She recognized I was the most qualified parent and went to battle. My daughter is now 16 and life is great! I will never forget her for this Great job!

Donna was retained and paid for 16 months on my divorce case. She repeatedly told me after i had paid her 75k, that she didn't want to represent me but refused to tell me why and threatened that if i didn't sign a release we would write letter to the judge "that wouldn't be good for me." 6 months and another 50k later she did apply to the court to be dismissed despite the fact that she had no legitimate grounds. She was my second lawyer and i felt that my hands were tied. She refused to even let me sign a proposal that was offered and refused to put anything that i wanted to offer on the table. She writes a lot or repititious and epic documents instead of verbally negotiating. She lies and exaggerates.. that was my experience. she refused to communicate or send documents to me for the last 2 months of the case but charged me 20k for the last month alone. I am going to go to the board of ethics. I am lucky that i survived. i got divorced thru my friends lawyer in 45 minutes after having paid her over 125K. She is dangerous and will drain all of your money.

I hired Donna Wardlaw to represent me in a divorce action. She was very unprofessional and charged me outrageous sums of money. I had to file bankruptcy because of her fees. She tried to control an inheritance I received during this time. I told her that I wouldn't agree to it. We had many clashes, and she acted very unprofessional towards me, berated me about my performance at a deposition, and talked down to me. I would not recommend her to anyone. I paid in excess of $50k for a divorce that my new lawyers, after I fired her, informed me would normally have been a third of what I paid to her if I had gone elsewhere.

She is difficult to get attention on your case. I tried to explain how important my situation was and how dire my financial condition. It seemed she was only interested in writing long affidavits and spending my money. She dragged my divorce out over 2 years . The meter is always running with this attorney. Unbelievable. STAY AWAY FROM HER. SHE IS TERRIBLE AND WILL DRAIN YOUR FINANCES.

I was a client of Donnas for 3 years I used her for family court issues She filed papers for an appeal untimely and charged me $6000 for that So we had to appeal that decision in the court of appeals and she said it Wouldn't be that much to file since she already had the appeal written up From family court then billed me $15000 in one month. Get everything she says in writing and watch your bill.
