"Graham, Sandra and Kristen were very helpful in having my case dismissed. I was referred to Graham by a coworker and couldn’t have made a better choice with him, the entire office made everything easy for me to understand and they were all easy to keep in contact with. If you are in need of the very best there is then Graham Donath is the clear choice to be made."

"Graham Donath has helped my family and myself tremendously with any legal issues we have had. He has gotten 3 felonies reduced to misdemeanors and no jail time on each case I’ve used him on. I’ve referred him to family and friends where he has reduced offers of state time to probation violations with no jail time. He was referred to another family member who was looking at serious DUI time,(5 years) and reduced it to a rehab program with minimum time served. He helped my brother go from 12 years to a reduced concurrent sentence. I will not use or recommend another lawyer. I highly recommend to anyone who has family or friends in need of help. He is someone who knows the system and his work and results speak for themselves."

"I recently worked with Mr. Donath for a DUI case, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome. From our first consultation, Mr. Donath was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my situation. They guided me through each step of the legal process with clear communication and expert advice. Thanks to their dedication and hard work, we achieved a positive result. I highly recommend Mr. Donath to anyone in need of a top-notch DUI lawyer!"

"Attorney Graham Donath and his team are the best of the best. He exceeded my expectations. He delivered on everything we discussed faster than expected. He was able to get my case dismissed on the first court date. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer, who delivered the best outcome in the least amount of time. Sandra, Kristen and the whole team are very helpful. I am very thankful that I found them and highly recommend hiring Mr Donath and his team."
