Former Client Reviews

Caring Representation That's Focused On Results
    “Alan is a skilled trial attorney who's work ethic is matched by his integrity.”
    Alan and I have had several cases against each other. Alan is a skilled trial attorney who's work ethic is matched by his integrity. He is a worthy adversary who fights for his client.

    “Alan Donato saved my life!”
    My story begins a year ago when my house was raided by the cops. They were looking for someone who had a warrant. When I went to jail my whole life flipped upside down. Fear of losing my job and even worse ruining my record with a felony was overwhelming. My public defender said that I didn't have a case and they weren't likely to give me a deal or a break. Immediately I began searching for a lawyer. Like everyone who searches for a lawyers, my number one concern, after winning the case, would be the amount I paid for the lawyer. Alan Donato's hiring fees were a couple thousand dollars cheaper than other lawyers. After I hired him my worries went away. He walked me through every step of the way. Basically all I needed to do was show up when he needed me to. Most of the language and laws were foreign to me but I wasn't worried. One year later, my case is being dropped after I complete some classes. It went from no case and no chance of winning with the public defender to a total victory in my eyes.. I just wanted to thank Mr. Donato again. You saved my life!

    “I cherish their hard work, dedication, and passion.”

    After fighting false allegations for a 3 year ordeal, I still can’t believe that my case is finally over. Alan took my case to trial and the jury agreed that I didn’t do anything. I will never ever be able to thank Alan and Tiffany enough or express how grateful I am for all they have done for me. They were by my side since day one and believed in me. I cherish their hard work, dedication, and passion they put into fighting for my innocence. Alan will forever be family to me.

    “I owe a lot to him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a criminal defense lawyer.”
    Alan was amazing and helped me get through a really tough part of life. He fought for me and got me the best deal possible. I owe a lot to him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a criminal defense lawyer.

    “They have helped my son.”
    The nightmare started in South Lake Tahoe, my son was arrested and charged with a serious crime, he was appointed a Public Defender who did everything in her power to hurt my son and work against him, we called Alan and he took the case over, my only regret is that I didn't call him sooner as my son was coerced into a plea deal, Alan has been so kind to my son and to me and his family and treated the situation as if it where his own son and to me that's priceless! We have a big court date ahead and I hope that things will go our way! Thank you for your compassion and your kindness!
