Meet Our Attorneys

Stonegate Firm, LLC clients receive legal representation from the licensed attorneys at Stonegate Law, LLC, our co-branded law firm, led by Chief Legal Officer Dennis Donovan, Esq. Our attorneys fight for clients’ rights every day.

Why an Attorney-Led Team Matters

Many timeshare exit companies don’t have attorneys reviewing individual cases. Case managers send letters, track files, and negotiate on your behalf, but without the legal standing to escalate when a resort pushes back. Stonegate Firm, LLC was built differently: every client is paired with legal representation from Stonegate Law, LLC, our co-branded law firm, at no additional cost. That means your case is handled under the supervision of licensed attorneys, who identify the legal issues that support your case and negotiate directly with the resort’s own legal department, not a call center working from a script.

The Strength Behind Stonegate Law, LLC

The attorneys at Stonegate Law, LLC focus on federal consumer protection law, including the Truth in Lending Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and we serve clients across the country. When a case requires representation in a specific state, we work with local counsel there.

This is also why Stonegate Firm, LLC has grown from a single attorney to a full legal team. As the firm has scaled to represent thousands of clients, so has the legal team behind it, because no single attorney could provide meaningful oversight at that scale alone. Below, meet the attorneys currently providing that representation.
