Attorney Donaldson is a Godsend. He expeditiously helped navigate me to get my Driver’s License reinstated via the right DMV forms, auto insurance recommendations, etc.. I thought this process would take months- it took 1 day. He is a Master of his craft. I’d highly recommend him!!! 10 stars all the way ????????????
Mike Donaldson is seriously the best. I have dealt with other attorneys on my previous case and there is no comparison. Mike got my case a diversion program to dismissal against all odds, and the process was near seamless. I can’t recommend hiring him enough. He even stepped up to help with my case in LA County, and everything worked out perfectly. Thanks Mike.
I am beyond grateful for the exceptional service provided by Gressley & Donaldson LLP and their team. From our initial consultation, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident every step. This criminal defense team has a profound understanding of the law, and appellate laws. Their attention to detail, thorough research, and compelling arguments not only demonstrated their deep knowledge but also instilled confidence during a challenging time. Communication was always clear and timely. Lara Gressley took the time to explain complex legal concepts in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring I felt informed throughout the process. Their responsiveness and willingness to address any questions or concerns were greatly appreciated. What stood out most was their commitment to our case and their genuine care for our situation. It was evident that they were invested in the best possible result, and their efforts went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Gressley & Donaldson LLP to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated attorney. Thank you, Gressley & Donaldson LLP, for your outstanding work. Sincerely Joe I.
To say, that Lara is an outstanding, top-notch attorney is a complete understatement. She is widely considered one of the top criminal lawyers in the State and certainly one of the top 3 appellate lawyers. She is tenacious; A true fighter. But she does so with saavy and knowledge. She has a library of information at her fingertips and is without a doubt a representation of every superlative a good lawyer can be showered with. She teaches Statewide to other DUI lawyers and fills the seats. She serves on the California DUI Lawyers Association Board and has been their President. Simply put, she is not just highly regarded by her clients, but by the other lawyers who truly know how to sort the wheat from the chaff. If you need a spectacular lawyer, this is a home run!
I referred a criminal defense matter to Lara Gressley and the client was very pleased with her services. She proved to be extremely knowledgeable, diligent, and responsive. She communicated clearly and provided sound advice at each step of the proceedings. Highly recommend.
