Monty has been our family’s attorney for over 25 years and has always been available when there were questions about estate planning. His office staff was very professional and dedicated as we never felt rushed when needing to speak to him or his office staff. I have found Monty to be very knowledgeable and straightforward through the years in his approach working with us. He always took the time to make us feel like family and was very patient in really listening to my 90-year-old dad every time he had questions especially concerning my mom or when my dad did not understand something. Monty was there each time supporting us in making difficult decisions. My dad enjoyed telling Monty about the family and sometimes about some personal issues he wanted advise on concerning his banking or how he paid the wrong bill. Monty would listen and sometimes shared some of his own firsthand experiences while advising my dad in an easy and understanding manner. During the last 5 years when my mom became ill and had to be placed into a nursing home, Monty and his staff were very patient and took the time to explain to me and my dad what needed to be done especially when it came time to apply for Medicaid. My dad was very confused on what to do but Monty worked with me explaining each required document. I can honestly say I have learned a lot about estate planning by having to step in for my dad from the time my mom went into a nursing home to the time when my dad was diagnosed with end stage dementia. I cannot thank them enough knowing that both my parents received the best nursing home care which they deserved during their final years. Upon my parents passing, I feel that I could not have successfully fulfilled my parents’ wishes without Monty and his staff’s professional help. It was very smooth as everything was preplanned and placed into a Trust. I have highly recommended Monty to my friends and relatives who have voiced concerns about their aging parents telling them he goes above and beyond and is very skilled in all phases of estate planning and elder law. I promised them that they would not be disappointed as Monty and his staff are very compassionate and experienced people.

He’s too much of in a hurry to really read the question. His response was too brief and I base my review on his inability to spend a couple minutes reading my question. My question had a detailed backstory and an email sent by him stated he wanted me to give more information when I had already done so. I know jurisprudence and what empathy is. It is my fervent opinion that this Esq. just wants publicity. Well, you got it!

Very professional and knowledgeable. Attorney Donohew and his wife were very understanding during my time of need, and gave very good advice, would definitely recommend!

Didn't much care for the guy.

Monty is wonderful. He has been helping me with a very difficult estate that has been opened for almost 3 years. I recently got him to help me in this process because I felt frustrated that my voice was not being heard and needed someone to look out for my best interests. He is making sure that things are moving towards closure of the estate. He has came up with some creative solutions that I felt that I could compromise with my family. He is very knowledgeable. I was very impressed with him at the consultation. I knew when I was in good hands when the lawyer form my dad's estate spoke to me after a court hearing. Her comment to me was "you got a really great lawyer with Monty ". This was after they had met and spoke with the magistrate. I would highly recommend him.

Monty walked my family through the Medicaid process. I was impressed that he gave us options, and answered all of our questions. He made a very difficult situation much easier to handle.
