    You are never prepared to be in a law suit situation where your character is at stake. Having Mr. Haslam on my side was a God-send. His professionalism and gentle spirit were extremely comforting and reassuring during this extremely stressful time. He was knowledgeable and in control of the facts and I believe he represented me well. As Mr. Haslam worked to prepare family and friends who would testify in my behalf, they too had nothing but positive comments about him. I would recommend Mr. Haslam highly for his integrity and professionalism.

    I was in jail not even 48 hrs and had been visited by Mr Haslam, and for this specific case I had already had 3 attorney and non of them seemed to be able to help my case. But mr haslam got my 2nd class felony dismissed. I didn't even have to show up to court .And even when I was out of jail and after my court date he would check to see how I was doing. And give me legal advice. Best lawyer I've ever had

    We met one day with money in hand, money which he refused to accept before meeting and interviewing our children. It wasn’t until he was completely satisfied that they were okay he then accepted the money and our case against Child Protective Services. We had only two days prior to the trial so he had to work abruptly. He was well-prepared when we arrived at court. He was able to prove not only where we innocent of what we were accused but that the CPS caseworker lied under under oath.

    Following the trial my son had brain surgery, Don checked on him frequently, and expressed his concern often. He is very compassionate and much more than just an attorney that’s awesome at his job, but a caring loving human being who helped us keep our family together. He will stay in our hearts forever.
