HE REALLY HELPED ME

“ When my husband asked me for a divorce, I was totally blindsided! I was really scared and didn't know what to expect. This was my first divorce and Don answered all of my questions. When we went to court, it was evident that he knew what he was doing which made me feel at ease. I would recommend his firm to all of my friends or family.”
