"I worked with one of Don's associates instead of Don himself. My entire experience was aggravating, to say the least. The communication was absolutely terrible, constantly contradicting himself, ignoring calls and texts, and being blatantly wrong at times. It was very clear that I was not valued. I felt like I could have had a better outcome if I cut ties with my attorney and hired someone else. I did not feel valued or respected. I felt like I had to grab my attorney by the hand and drag him through the whole process even though it was my first time defending myself in court. So much more I could say, but I will never call this office again, and I will never recommend this attorney. Go elsewhere if you want strong representation. You won't get it here."

"He’s literally one of the best lawyers you could ask for seriously. He’s straight to the point and simple as long as you do your part he will do everything in his power to help you. I had a simple and small charge but to me it was very big cause I never been in any trouble like that before. He made it easy and very simple to me. When he says he got you he literally means it just do your part. He’s an amazing lawyer I promise you want regret it. 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 Y.H"

"DO NOT HIRE! We hired Mr. Himmelberg to handle a simple case for my boyfriend in April 2023 and aside from reporting himself as the attorney and ONE update to us, (which we had to call and text him several times to get) he has done nothing. He doesn’t answer phone calls, text messages, or emails. He has even hung up on us when we try to call. He is disrespectful and uses language that is incredibly unprofessional; having once said when we were inquiring updates “pump the breaks and let me work the case” . If you’re looking for an attentive and professional lawyer, do not hire this man."
