It is so heart wrenching going through a family restructuring however Donato Law did everything…read morethey could to make sure the transition was as easy as possible. I didn't know what to expect but somehow the kindness this office showed me and the truly expert advise of the attorney made everything better.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Gross negligence and mismanagement…read more I am writing this review to warn others before they make the same $5,000 mistake I did. I retained Jodi Ann Donato for my case, and my experience was a complete nightmare of negligence, incompetence, and improper billing. I paid a $5,000 retainer that was supposed to cover three court conferences. The firm only "represented" me for ONE, and Ms. Donato didn't even show up. She sent a substitute lawyer who knew absolutely nothing about my case, and I had to pay for this substitute out-of-pocket on top of my retainer. Then, Donato Law actually billed me for the two-hour call they supposedly had to "prepare" this lawyer who showed up completely unprepared. The lack of basic diligence was shocking. They didn't know my case location. Ms. Donato assumed my case was in Suffolk County and didn't realize it was in Dutchess until I pointed it out. This was clearly written on the Order of Protection. I was then billed for the firm's errors to fix this. They didn't read court documents. Ms. Donato later admitted she "only read down to a certain line" on the Order of Protection and completely missed that child support had been granted. Contradictory and negligent advice. My emails asking for specific legal advice were ignored. I was then yelled at by Ms. Donato for doing something she claimed was on the order... the same order she repeatedly failed to read. My retainer was drained to pay for their mistakes. I was left completely unrepresented and abandoned after my money was gone. I feel completely taken advantage of and misled. This firm did not protect my interests; they only protected their bottom line. Also after posting this review to Google Jodi Ann Donato contacted me via email asking me to take the review down in exchange for $500 and then she would require me to sign an NDA. This is highly unethical behavior for a lawyer.

It's been almost four years my mother has had a simple lawsuit that still has not been settled!!…read moreShe has never even spoken to the lawyer. My sister was taking care of the lawsuit but she died in 2015. Whenever I call I only get the receptionist Michele whow is very rude. In the past 2 years I've only called two or three times! It's not like I'm calling everyday. I pretty much have written off this lawsuit! My mom was very hurt and is still handicapped. I just wanted medical bills paid. Seemed pretty simple to me.

This review is long overdue. In 2012, my family found themselves in need of a reliable,…read moretrustworthy , affordable attorney to help with my uncle's estate. Andrea and her staff fit the bill perfectly! They answered questions and expedited paperwork promptly and were always kind and professional. Not a resident of NY, it was such a comfort to know that things were left in such competent hands. Recently, I had a glitch in paperwork involving the estate and sought out Andrea for help once again. She not only returned my email almost immediately , she personally called me (at the end of the business day- less than an hour after I sent my email!) to be sure my questions were answered. She had already pulled the paperwork from 5 years earlier and answered all of my questions and then some. It is with the UTMOST confidence that I recommend Andrea Rubin-De-Cervens- her professionalism and integrity equal her abilities. Many thanks from a grateful client.
