Testimonials

“Donald Cleveland is very professional, dedicated, hardworking, caring, supportive, and just an all around admirable guy. I could not have chosen a better attorney to defend me in court. Donald was successful in having both of my felony cases dismissed and he made it look easy. His first words to me were “this is not only about your freedom, but more importantly your future”. He made sure that I was able to be here for my family and raise my son. His staff is very friendly and respectful, and very involved, also keeping clients updated with the case and all scheduled court matters. I put all my trust into Donald Cleveland and his staff and they certainly did not disappoint. I could not recommend anyone better to defend anyone in a critical situation, and though he tells me everytime we speak to stay out of trouble, if ever needed I know who to call!”
S.P., February 2019

I just wanted to take a minute to say what an amazing blessing it was to have Donald Cleveland as our attorney. Incredibly emotional, confused, clueless, and just scared of the unknown he gave us hope. He and his legal secretary went to work that same day we hired him and a year later were still working hard toward our day in court. Thank you Donald for your professionalism, hard work, dependability and that ray of hope…you will always be remembered!
