Donna was very thorough with everything that she did for my case. She made sure that all of my requests were met, and her attitude was always reassuring in the midst of everything. She set out to make sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I'm glad i made the choice to go with her and the truly benevolent and compassionate staff members.

Hired Attorney Donna M. Hougen Esq.

Ms. Hougen offers a free initial consultation, which is something many family law firms do not do. She has been practicing for approximately 20 years and is quite knowledgeable. She is very personable and doesn't have the "holier than thou" air about her like many attorneys do. With her, you get sound advice, very aggressive representation, all without the "fluff" of hiring a big wig attorney that inflates their bills and charges for services they didn't provide.

Donna and her team are really great. I went to them at a very low time in my life where I had given up hope. They fought for me since Day one. They were flexible and very personable. This is an extremely professional law firm who know their stuff. They value the business of every client and were worth every single dime. I appreciate them personalyl getting to know my case and helping me to me that best decisions legally. They didnt look at me like another person but as an individual.

Donna was a tough when needed, compassionate person who took the time to help me understand all the legal stuff. She went the extra mile to help me mentally to prepare. You couldn't ask for more from a lawyer. She truly cares for her clients.

Donna was very thorough and knowledgeable about every aspect of my case. Her persistence with me made me be more productive in my case and less emotional. She was aggressive in the courtroom and got me a more than favorable result which gave me a second chance in life. Her negotiation skills are impeccable and fine tuned. I would use Donna again if the occasion arose and would certainly refer her to others.
