Berkeley Donna

"She is an amazing advocate for families, is a highly knowledgeable and experienced attorney, able to navigate the court systems well, and is able to successfully negotiate solutions between clients."

"Very bad GAL. She was very biased and apparently sides with females. Beware gentlemen! she did not communicate with me during my case but did communicate with mom. She is not a good advocate for any children. Gentlemen, she is not on your side no matter what, do not be fooled by her. She will question everything you say when you testify but will assume everything mom says to be true. She recommended my special needs child to relocate over 3k miles aways because according to her it was in my child's best interest even though I'm a super active parent. She knew I attended all doctors appointments, school activities, therapies for almost two years since mom and I separated. She almost made me lose my son."

"I have been through the court systems even as a child and never have I ever seen GAL be so nasty and rude and judgmental. She gave my kids to their dads without knowing all the facts and now she dont even know where they are really actually laying their head at night. I call and email but she will respond to the dad meanwhile my family and I with the most mean to support the children she ignores and see something wrong in everything. I do not believe she should be help responsible for the future of anyones kids and pray she has none of her own because idk how she could be this way to mothers . I wouldnt be writing reviews if I felt my kids lawyer was performing up to her duties. She didnt even want to see my place I had to beg her to do that. Ive asked for a new GAL so she just keep asking for me to have time with kids so I know as long as she is around it will never get better. I pray for my kids and anyone else kids involved with her too because she doesnt see their heart or whats best she continued to remind me they are her "clients""

"I highly recommend Mrs. Berkeley as an attorney. She is professional and extremely knowledgeable in family law matters. She is very responsive as well as kind, caring and compassionate and takes the time to listen to her clients and research matters. In addition, she is realistic- she will consider all angles of an issue/case and be perfectly honest with her opinions. I am forever grateful for the legal help she provided me and my family during a difficult court case."

"She was appointed as my daughter's GAL and did nothing but agree with whatever absurd recommendation the social worker had! Despite my disagreeing with the social worker Donna allowed my aunt to get sole custody of my child and neither of us (me or child) wanted that. No school visits no police reports no proof whatsoever that I was unfit or that it was in the best interest of my child. DO NOT TRUST HER! If the court appoints this lawyer to you please ask for another more attentive and supportive GAL!! She does not care about your child's best interest or parent's opinion; will tell you one thing than do another at court."
