What Clients Say about Donni
Dear Donni,
I’m sorry it took so long to get out this note. I appreciate so much that you took the time to help Dewey and me. I really believe that knowing someone cared enough to fight for him kept him focused on something besides his illness.
I think it wasn’t until his pain became worse, his breathing became so labored and the knowledge that the chemo was not helping that he knew he couldn’t face the struggle any longer. He hated the fact that he had to be taken care of especially since he was always the strong one.
He left this world knowing I would be taken care of and I pray that gave him peace. I appreciate all you have done to make my life more bearable.
I miss Dewey everyday but I’m also grateful for a loving family and for not having a financial burden at this time of my life.
God Bless You, Lila RiemannDear Donni,
Joe's illness robbed him of a quiet peaceful end and robbed his family of his love. But I think it gave him peace to know that I would be taken care of. One of the things he said to me before he died was that he always thought he’d be able to take care of me – and now knew he would not.
Along with the family, I want to thank you for your efforts in taking his case and handling it so well. The funds helped us so much in paying many of the medical bills not covered by insurance – and other expenses related to his death. I was able to pay everything where otherwise I would have been struggling. Also I’ve been able to invest for my old age and give some monies to the children.
So please accept my thanks to you and your firm,
E.J.
