After fighting a case for more than a year, I did not know where to go. I reviewed AVVO and found amazing reviews for him; I am so glad that I did. I immediately spoke with Mr. Donner, and he provided an actual plan with how we were to proceed. He kept in touch, and I settled my case for about 7 times the amount that my prior lawyer told me that he could settle it for. I am extremely grateful for Mr. Donner and his firm. They are the best!

Donner is a fantastic lawyer. While his credentials are impressive, his methods are by far what yield fantastic results and provide new hope to those of us who find ourselves trapped in debt or threatened by student loan companies, etc. Steve Donner is a true professional and I give my full recommendation for anyone who wants results.

Mr. Donner communicates well, has great expertise, and won the case against a shady collection company. Choosing a lawyer is important and I would recommend him if you find yourself in a similar situation.

I had contacted Steve to take on a car accident case. The insurance company was extremely hesitant to reach any agreements and had dragged in the case for sometime but Steve never gave up and kept punching away. He new that we had a case and that we deserved a fair settlement for my injury’s. The case will be wrapped up soon and couldn’t be happier with the results. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a caring lawyer and law firm to take care of anything.
