Most these 5 star reviews are 1 review based reports so mine shouldn't matter. When you first meet G Donath he is very personable and will tell you all the methods, tactics and legalities he is going to use to fight for your case. I ADVISE YOU HAVE HIM WRITE EVERYTHING HE STATES IN YOUR CONTRACT! G Donith will tell you anything he can to get you to sign his very vague contract and get your money. Once he has your money you will realize that he does show up for court, but all the things he stated during your consultation will never happen. G Donith will not follow through with anything he said once he has your money and contact with him personally will seize to exist.G Donath will try to push you through the legal system as fast as he can and will give in to the first offer the DA gives him. G Donith doesnt research nor fight for you. He is the typical smooth talking lawyer that just wants money and cares nothing for his clients when it comes down to their legal rights.

I had a great experience with the Law Offices of Mr. Graham Donath! I am extremely grateful for all he has done for me. I found Mr. Donath through Google and because of his great reviews I decided to meet with him.

Our first consultation was over the phone and then the next day in person. He went through my case and he was able to give me and exact plan for how he would handle it. My case was settled on the first court date. He was able to bring my felony down to a misdemeanor with only 30 days work release.

Mr. Donath is an amazing attorney. Very knowledgeable and very experienced with criminal defense. I would definitely recommend his services to any one in a tough situation. Along with Mr. Donath, his amazing office staff also made my experience great. Deana and Carrie, were always so polite and helpful along the way. I was always informed and contacted when needed. Thank you all again!

Mr. Donath represented my son in a very serious legal case. Mr. Donath is very knowledgable & experienced in criminal defense. He provided the best possible legal defense. My son was looking at several years in prison and Mr. Donath was able to work with the DA & Judge to release my son on probation. I am so very grateful to Mr. Donath and give him my highest recommendation to anyone needing a great defense attorney.

First of all, my family and I want to thank Mr. Graham Donath for his great help to us especialy to my oldest brother. My brother’s wife called a police on him a month ago saying that he pushed her and hit her minor cousin. The police arrested him for one day. We paid a bail for him, so the police released him the second day. We immediately looked for a criminal attorney. We actually did not have any idea about a good attorney here in Riverside because we had never been in such a situation in our whole life before. Therefore, I searched online. I found many criminal attorneys in Riverside, but I don’t know why when I found Mr. Donath’s website, I felt a peace in my heart. I felt this person is an angel sent by God to us to save my brother, so we decided to hire him. It was the best decision we made. We were very worried because my brother is a green card holder, so any charge on him can lead to his deportation. Mr. Donath did his best, and today he told us that the District Attorney refused to file the charges, though there were two codes on him, one is misdemeanor and the other one is felony, so my brother is good now. We thank God that he led us to Mr. Donath. As I said before, he is a God angel sent to us.
Mr. Donath I don’t know how to say that, but all the words cannot describe how much we are grateful for all you did. You didn’t save my brother only, you saved all of us with him. We really appreciate that. I wish you a very good luck in your life and your business.
I also want to thank Mr. Donath’s assistant, Miss Diana. She is such a kind and an understanding person. She is a good listener and takes all the notes to Mr. Donath exactly as we say, and she calls us back as soon as she can.
Thank you all. You are amazing people. God bless

Today is a very special day for me. I initially came to Mr. Donath looking for help requesting early termination of probation. He was very helpful and I most importantly I was always able to get in contact with him
when needed. I couldn't be any happier because today I am no longer on probation after 4 long years . My 5 year probation was terminated today with Mr Donath help.

Thank you so much, now I am able to move on in life and take my kids to see their grandma!!!!

I wanted to say Mr Graham was a great representative for me while fighting my case he stood hus ground and he fought for me all the way im satisfied with the outcome of my case my charges were pretty serious enough to have my freedom taken away from and send me away to a prison term.. I did talk to other lawyers before meeting with Mr Graham and no one was as confident and was as Real as he was he was straight up with me which I like since the beginning also his price for hire was firm can't beat it for some one like MrGrahamto represent you and he will fight for you I even had people come up to me in court and comment on Graham because they liked how he represents his client just yesterday finally to a end of this Headache we went from a 5 year prison term with half and a strike to 3years probation and community service it was a great feeling that I have a second chance in life and what a great thank you to Mr Graham he's a Real one be sure be confident who's fighting for you in court and that's Mr Graham...

Graham Donath helped one of my family members with the charges that included 3 felonies and the result was probation and work release. I couldn’t recommend him enough!! He has had been straightforward, extremely professional, and the way he handles himself in the courtroom is astounding! From the day of consultation to now he has been nothing but true to his word. If there was any doubt or worry from my family member Graham was always on top of it and supportive with facts and reassurance. If you or a family member is in need of a lawyer choose Graham, you will not regret your decision because of his knowledge and experience.

THE BEST!!!!!!!

Literally so amazing. Never had to deal with law things before so I felt like a total idiot, but he totally talked me through everything and was helpful putting things in simple terms for me.
He’s personable and fun and so professional. Out of all the lawyers I saw in the court room that day, he was by far the most professional and knew what he was doing the most. Everyone seemed to know and respect him. Seriously hire this guy. THANKS GRAHAM!! You’re the best!! I am so so thankful for you and all that you have done for me

I was referred to Graham's office by a friend of mine, and a former client of his. Immediately after being arrested, and posting bail, I retained Mr. Donath's services. His office did me the favor of contacting the DA's office every single week for me FOR ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR, to see if they filed charges, in order to prevent me from missing court and/or getting a warrant. The district attorney finally filed against me, and I was facing 2 felonies, as well as a misdemeanor and an additional misdemeanor probation violation. They initially offered me 18 months in state prison, but Mr. Donath presented examples of case law proving that they had incorrectly filed the charges against me, and that they could not charge me with felonies, given the circumstances. The DA refused to relent, but so did Mr. Donath. After having the case referred to a new Judge for review of this discrepancy, I was only convicted of 1 misdemeanor, and also the misdemeanor probation violation, receiving only fines, community service, and a 60 day jail sentence. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Donath's office kept me informed of all updates, my representation was always early to court, and showed great professionalism and knowledge of the law. Mr. Donath and his team proved I could trust them, and I would refer them to anyone and anyone who is looking for a CAPABLE and TRUSTWORTHY criminal law lawyer. Thanks to him and his team for getting me home quickly. Thanks for everything.

Graham Donath has helped my family and myself tremendously with any legal issues we have had. He has gotten 3 felonies reduced to misdemeanors and no jail time on each case I’ve used him on. I’ve referred him to family and friends where he has reduced offers of state time to probation violations with no jail time. He was referred to another family member who was looking at serious DUI time,(5 years) and reduced it to a rehab program with minimum time served. He helped my brother go from 12 years to a reduced concurrent sentence. I will not use or recommend another lawyer. I highly recommend to anyone who has family or friends in need of help. He is someone who knows the system and his work and results speak for themselves.

I was referred to Graham by some friends as I was in need of some legal advice and quite possibly legal representation. Graham's response time was very quick and his advice was very precise and knowledgable. He couldn't have been more professional or kind. He was very patient with my mother who was having a hard time explaining her situation. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family if they ever needed legal representation.

Nobody could have handled my case better! I guess I'll start with a basic premise at the beginning of this review: there is almost never a good time to "need" an attorney. Thank goodness we found Graham!. As happy as I am with the outcome of my case, I would have written the same review if it didn't go as well.

I was able to get an appointment right away with Graham and his legal assistant. They set up an appointment to meet with my husband and me within a couple of days.

His demeanor and knowledge of the laws immediately decreased our anxiety level. He was obviously familiar with the different aspects of our situation and was able to answer all of our questions and lay out the entire court process and was able to provide an opinion as to what he thought the outcome would be. His fees are very reasonable, especially when compared to his experience and dedication.

He was on time for all of our appointments and attended all court appointments. Either Graham or his legal assistant would call us after every court day or if any major happenings came up. All of our phone calls were returned in a timely manner. His office is right near Riverside court but in an area near abundant curb side parking (1.50 an hour).

Looking back on the case, I can't think of anything Graham could have done differently. I am incredibly happy with the outcome and would go back (hopefully won't ever need to) to Graham or recommend him to anyone that might ever need his services in a split second.

If you find yourself in need of legal services, I urge you to talk to Graham Donath. I rarely leave reviews about someone's' services but felt compelled to recommend Graham. He took a very scary situation and made the best of it.

Thanks Graham!

Mr. Donath was a God sent gift to us at the very last second. He replaced two attorneys who could not do in three years what he did in three weeks.
Beside his ability to communicate with us and the opposite party, his sincerity was an effective tool to make this channeling situation more tolerable. My family and I owe so much to him.

I've worked with a lot of lawyers, and Graham Donath stands head and shoulders above the rest. He listened, made himself available to me when I had questions or just needed to vent, and put my concerns first and foremost. I hope to never need another lawyer, but if I do, Graham Donath will definitely be the guy I call.

Graham is best of the best! I'm so lucky that he was recommended to me because this was the first time in my life that I ever needed an attorney and I really didn't know what to expect. He was attentive, caring, patient, understanding and very professional. He answered all my questions and basically held my hand through the whole process. I couldn't be more happy with the outcome of my case and how everything turned out. I HIGHLY recommend Graham if you're looking for an attorney that actually cares. Thanks again!!!

Mr. Donath represented my son in a very complicated legal case. Without going into details, the stakes were extremely high. I found Mr. Donath to be very knowledgable, rational, & experienced. Legal cases with serious charges can have dire consequences & emotions are understandably very high for both the defendants & their loved ones. Yet, Mr. Donath is able to remain clear headed, calm, & focused. He never loses sight of the goal; to provide the best possible legal defense & to get the absolute best possible outcome for his client. He is able to communicate & work well with the DA & Judge, which is absolutely crucial. The end result of my son's case was that all legal charges against him were dismissed. I am eternally grateful to Mr. Donath. I feel so lucky to have had him in my son's corner. I give him my highest recommendation to anyone needing a great defense attorney.

Mr. Donath is a detailed individual whom you want in your corner if need be. He carries a high success rate and covers a broad spectrum of clients. The thing I like most is his Integrity and drive for success. He will tell you upfront what you are in for and he won't sugar coat it either. Highly respectable and you definitely get what you pay for...
