Where do I begin after a long 10 months I’ve beaten my case and I have forgot what this man did to me Angelo Donnafri if I could give 0 stars I would !!!! This man is A LIAR and should be disbarred I have already reach out to the state general after he said I it was a threat this man told my company the Uaw on a recorded line I did not report that I was being charged criminally when in fact you have to tell them what you are being charged with and what type of case to even get a referral and the prices lie number 1!! When we got on the phone he kept accusing me of doing things and lied and said I broke attorney client privileges by calling to report he have no been to court with me only an associate by Kimberley as stated in a couple reviews down by someone else so that’s lie number 2 he took my money and filed to be removed off my case my sister was murdered the same day so I wasn’t in the head space to fight it and that’s what he told the Uaw lady she didn’t object to also I have only been to court twice since he’s been removed and it’s already over and I’m headed to phase two my lawsuit he’s horrible disrespectful and shouldn’t be anyone’s lawyer he also told me I owed money for some type of FOIA fee 200 dollars and I can take that up with my new lawyer and that was a lie my new lawyer said that hadn’t received any of my evidence I gave him in fact she was able to get me the evidence for the other parties in less then 24 hours ! Lastly not lease on the recorded line he said since I broke attorney privellage already he can discuss all of my case in detail to the supervisor of the Uaw legal services him basically told her I was a criminal in fact I was getting stalked and harassed and was lied on so I took the liberty to google did I break it which will be attached I did not and he make me look like a criminal and told her everything about my case and stole my money beware
Owner response
Curesha: I will try to respond to the parts I understand in your complaint. <br><br>You were referred to me by the UAW with a charge of malicious use of a telecommunications device. You were charged with harassing a colleague from work with your phone. I substituted your prior lawyer who you claimed was not properly representing you. <br><br>I believed in your case based upon the fake CPS report that your “friend” (as you called her) made about you, the testimony given at a PPO hearing by her, and the many police reports she made against you. I was prepared to go to trial to assert your innocence. <br><br>You were a nervous client, but I tried to calm you in our more than 10 telephone conversations. This was hard since you suffered from a deep sense of paranoia. You made many unfounded claims, like how the system was biased in favor of your friend/colleague, how you were targeted because of your race (though you and your colleague share the same race), and how you believed that this prosecution was part of a large conspiracy by unnamed government officials who did not know you, but wanted to see you in jail. <br><br>Though I tried to represent you despite your difficulties, you destroyed our ability to work together on October 14, 2025. On that day, you called me to complain about your case. After we talked, you and I came to an understanding, and you were relaxed. But the same day, Sonya from the UAW called and claimed that you told the UAW that my office had missed seven of your court dates. This was obviously a lie because (1) we had been to court only three times, and (2) my office always showed up. We also presented the evidence that you provided to the prosecutor, and once the prosecution told us that the case would not be dismissed, we chose to proceed to trial. Sonya also explained how you never told the UAW that your referral was for a criminal case. Sonya acknowledged that I had satisfactorily rebutted your lies. After I called to confront you, you admitted that you had said these things in jest and were just stressed. I resolved to withdraw from your case after you cursed me (like many times before) and since you falsely accused me of misconduct. <br><br>On October 28, 2025, I appeared in court to withdraw from your case. I presented you with the materials you provided me with as well. You acknowledged receipt of these things on the record. That same day, you and Tammie from the UAW called Kimberly, another lawyer in my office, to complain about me again. You falsely claimed that we had not showed up to court, had not presented your evidence to the prosecution, and sought your personal demise. After Kimberly told me you called, I joined you all on the call. For 25 minutes, I explained your conduct, how you had lied before, and how I had withdrawn from your case that same day. I informed Tammie that two weeks prior, Sonya from the UAW had determined that I satisfactorily rebutted your claims. Tammie confirmed that I earned my $750 fee from you and that I did nothing wrong. The call was ended.<br><br>As for the $200, that was owed to the City of Warren to obtain videos for your case that were not provided to my office. You agreed to pay for these costs when you signed a contract with my office. A client paying for discovery is routine. By the time the invoice had come, I had withdrawn from your case. You were/are always responsible for these costs, which is why you were invoiced by the City. <br><br>As for the privilege you speak of, since you made two complaints, you waived any confidentiality, not me. Given your false accusations of misconduct, I defended myself in accordance with Michigan Rule of Professional Conduct 1.6(c)(5). <br><br>In short, you have always spun tales of woe and misconduct by everyone except you, but, as Tammie and Sonya found, they are untrue. I represent my clients diligently, and I ask you do the right thing and remove this defamatory review. <br><br>Angelo Donofrio
