Testimonials

Professional, Compassionate, and Caring

I have to say, being involved in a legal case was highly unusual and pretty scary. But Tom made the experience as painless as possible and I instantly felt comfortable with him and his team. He explained things to me and made recommendations for the best plan of action and fought for me so I could win my case. He talked to me like a human being and a friend instead of just a client. When I needed input and support he was always available. He even prayed with me over the phone. We never met in person because we live in different states but I now know I can reach out to him whenever I need legal assistance or support again. I highly recommend him and his firm. They didn’t overcharge me and did their best to save money and get through all the legal issues we had to confront in a timely fashion so I could finally put this behind me quickly and painlessly. Tom has become a friend and confidant and is also professional, compassionate and caring. I can’t thank him enough for all his guidance and help!

“This man has been a godsend for me.” – Christian Misner

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this law firm and Christian Misner. I had a very messed up situation with a dealership and car and searched for a consumer protection attorney for months. No one would hear the details of my case or even talk to me. I by chance found Donner Applewhite by doing a search and completed my intake form with the details of my case. Within just a couple days I was assigned to Christian who called me and was ready to go to work. This man has been a godsend for me. I have never even met him in person as of today but feel I’ve known him forever. The one thing he said to me from the beginning that speaks volumes to this man’s integrity is…”before this is all done, I will make sure someone from this dealership looks you in the eye and gives you an apology.” That’s when I knew I found the right attorney for me! He is extremely organized, knowledgeable, professional and I call him “my bulldog.” Thank you Christian for all your assistance. You deserve every penny you earn and double! You have made an unbearable and extremely stressful situation bearable for me and I cannot express to you in words how grateful I am. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!

Straight-forward, Professional, Efficient

If people need a lawyer, I always recommend Christian Misner. He and his paralegal, Chris, are very straight-forward, professional, efficient, and reassured me about my case. I sincerely appreciate his time, consideration, professionalism, insight. Mr. Misner has helped me w/a traffic ticket several years ago, and I have also consulted him on another matter for my family member. I was so glad to find he was still available and willing to take a look at another situation for me, recently. I have discovered he and his firm have represented people who’ve been wronged by debt collectors, car dealers, construction companies, personal injury. If you’re looking for a great lawyer, I would confidently suggest Christian Misner.

BEST INJURY LAWYER EVER!

After fighting a case for more than a year, I did not know where to go. I reviewed AVVO and found amazing reviews for him; I am so glad that I did.

I immediately spoke with Mr. Donner, and he provided an actual plan with how we were to proceed. He kept in touch, and I settled my case for about 7 times the amount that my prior lawyer told me that he could settle it for. I am extremely grateful for Mr. Donner and his firm. They are the best!

The absolute best choice I made in a long time.

Excellent attorney! Christian Misner and his staff are the absolute best ! I had a consumer problem that I was going to attempt on my own, after consulting with Christian Misner I decided to retain him. The absolute best choice I made in a long time. I find Christian to be very, very knowledgeable pertaining to the problems with my case , and he worked very hard at representing me. Not only did he get my case resolved, but he was able to get me a settlement that was more than I was seeking in small claims court! I recommend Christian Misner and Donner Applewhite to everyone that has a consumer problem!

William Parker, Oct. 2020

I found someone to stand by me.

I was looking for a lawyer to represent me in a case I felt wronged in what I found was much more. I found someone to stand by me, someone who understood and cared about what had happened. They took on my case and immediately went to work keeping updated and in the loop on everything. Christian is amazing at what he does. If you want someone on your side, your best interest at heart and knowing that what you felt wronged in they will help make it right, look no further. You have found them. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. Thank you Christian and Chris for everything.

He was very communicative throughout the process and always answered all my questions. We are lucky to have found him when we did!

BEST INJURY LAWYER EVER!

After fighting a claim for many years, I was angry and upset because I learned that the federal government denied my claims for compensation. Once I found this out, I contacted Steve Donner, and I’m glad that I did. After advising me of the outcomes and ways to go forward, I decided to hire him. He did everything that he said he would and my case turned out great! After appealing my case, it was not long before Steve called and told me that we won! I do not know where I would be without him. Steve is very knowledgeable in his field and acts like a lawyer should and is always prepared. Would highly recommend Steve to anyone needing a lawyer.

Great firm/Highly recommend!

Steve Donner of Donner Applewhite is a very professional attorney that helped me out during a difficult issue regarding wrongful termination. Mr. Donner fought very hard for me when the only option was civil litigation & took my case on a contingency fee basis. I had very little funds to pay an attorney, Donner Applewhite still took my case & did a great job helping me gain closure to a very tough legal battle.

I am a real person & I highly recommend this Firm for a Free consultation to see if they can assist you with any issues you’re going through as well!

Thanks Again Steve for restoring my faith in the JUSTICE SYSTEM!

“There is no lawyer out there that could have obtained the results he did!” – Steve Donner

Mr. Donner has helped me with numerous issues regarding my business, specifically insurance litigation. I thought that hope was lost when my former lawyer decided to drop my case. Not only did Steve respond quickly, but I’m convinced that there is no lawyer out there that could have obtained the result that he did! He is extremely aggressive and will do the most that he can. He is also surprisingly responsive and kept me up-to-date with everything taking place. If you have any legal needs, you must try to get him as your lawyer!
