     Everything I do is based on my core values of HONESTY, INTEGRITY and LOYALTY.       I provide my clients with personal service. As a sole practitioner, I am involved in every aspect of my cases.  My clients are able to contact me by telephone, e-mail and text message.         I am a member of several legal plans including:  ARAG, MetLife and CLC.  If you are a member of one of these plans, you are entitled to a discounted fee and, depending on your plan, your services may be covered in part or full. I also offer discounts to ALL UNION MEMBERS.       The current economy has caused many people to re-consider how they do business.  I offer two different payment plans for those clients that meet certain criteria.

Jodi was a great lawyer during the selling and buying of our homes. She was precise, thorough, and represented us professionally with our best interests in all legal matters. Everything was done in a timely manner, and we had full confidence in her ability to represent us. I would recommend her highly.

Jodi is very responsive and so helpful. She helped with the closing of My new home. We had some issues causing a delay in closing and she just went above and beyond. Always communicating and keeping me informed! (I’m a 1st time home buyer)

I was very happy with Ms. Donato’s service. She sat down with me and thoroughly went step by step with me when finalizing my divorce. She answered any questions that I had as well as if something came up she was right there getting in touch with me right away. I would highly recommend her.

I needed advice on giving back property to a family member that I no longer speak to. Jody once again provided great advice and guidance on how to proceed with this situation.

Deciding to divorce is a scary and expensive decision. After interviewing several attorneys (who were more like SHARKS), a friend recommended I see Jodi. I immediately liked her energy. Her fees are more than fair, and she ALWAYS answers my emails/calls, which is very important to me. As a woman, I feel Jodi understands the difficulties that come with divorce - she isn't just "in it for the money" - she genuinely cares. Jodi's knowledge of how divorce works showed me that she was the attorney for me. I found that some of the lawyers I interviewed with prior, had given me bad and incomplete information. I also felt that they were rushing me for my retainer. Jodi never did that to me. She made me feel comfortable in her office and confident in her abilities. I have, and will continue to recommend Jodi, as I am very satisfied with the services she provided. These days, its hard to find an attorney you can trust; someone who is on the ball; and who wont take advantage of a bad situation. Consultation is free! I absolutely recommend her!

Negotiated a difficult divorce wherein the other party on occasion would not respond. Chased him and his attorney and pushed for resolution. Recovered past delinquent child support in addition to other financial obligations I was entitled to.

Jodi has held my hand and guided me through the darkest period in my life. She is intelligent, patient, caring, supportive and always there for you every step of the way. For this reason I call her, "my guardian angel". I am sooo grateful to have Jodi by my side representing me and highly recommend her. She is amazing!!!!!
