Donald practices in Trust and Estate litigation.

Donald is a thoughtful and personable attorney who is dedicated to achieving his clients’ objectives through a proactive and reasoned approach to litigation.  He believes the strength of Barr & Young Attorneys comes from its close-knit and talented personnel who offer clients the collective and personal knowledge that only a small-sized firm can offer.
