The best!

Dontrice represented me better than any other attorney I've worked with in the past. She made me feel heard and was very upfront with her advice so I didn't feel like she was selling me false hope for a specific outcome in custody court. It has been a long 6 years of dealing with a narcissist co-pare...nt and now that Dontrice has represented me, I finally have some resolve! Even when opposing counsel were rude and irate at our hearing, Dontrice remained calm and fought for me in a way that allowed the judge to see why we've been in court every year for the past 6 years. I will now hire Dontrice for any and all legal matters I may have in the future. She really cares for her clients and it shows!!

Highly recommended

Ms. Hamilton is the perfect balance of compassion and professionalism. Ive been in the legal field for a couple of years, and have found very few lawyers actually care about their clients. She's very compassionate about helping her clients, had excellent communication, very understanding, and was wel...l prepared, professional and aggressive in court. I highly recommend.

Professional, amazing and dedicated

Dontrice is truly a blessing. I went through a messy divorce and my family suffered abuse. Dontrice was thorough, patient and knows how to navigate the legal system. She was able to keep my children and I safe and get us the help we needed. I will never forget her or what she did for my family.

Best, most kind, honest patient lawyer!

During my divorce I was such a wreck, Dontrice was extremely patient and kind and treated me like a person and always gave me good firm advice. She helped me win my case and I got and still have custody of my four children, honestly without Dontrice's experience, wisdom and professionalism, I really ...don't know where I would have been. I will always be grateful to her.
