Attorney Reneau Longoria, the firm’s owner and Managing Member, is a proud member of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana.

Why Choose Doonan, Graves & Longoria, LLC?

Our staff. With over 140 years of combined experience in the default/creditors’ rights industry, our firm’s attorneys and staff are proactive, disciplined, determined and bring to our practice a wide range of skill sets, industry knowledge and expertise to serve our clients efficiently and effectively to obtain positive results and outcomes. We stay informed of changes in the law and the industry with continued legal education, training regarding our clients’ guidelines and requirements and daily initiatives to learn and grow.

Excellence. Daily. It is not just our firm motto. We are committed to our clients’ satisfaction and providing our clients with excellent legal representation day in and day out, while treating all parties involved with respect and professionalism. Through decades of experience representing financial institutions, mortgage loan servicers, government-sponsored enterprises, lenders, banks, and credit unions in mortgage default-related matters, our firm possesses the necessary legal acumen, high-quality talent, and niche expertise to ensure each case referred to us is managed accurately, expediently, and efficiently from start to finish. DGL quickly adapts to changes in the industry and the law to meet and exceed our clients’ ever-evolving needs. We pride ourselves in providing high-quality, forward-looking, and cost-efficient legal representation to our clients, even in the most challenging cases.

Personalized care and representation. One size does not fit all. No investor or individual client is the same. Our clients receive representation that is specifically tailored to their specific needs, requirements, goals, and objectives. The relationships we build with our clients differentiate us from most firms in this industry. We do not just care about our clients’ business. We care about our clients as people and provide each client with personalized attention. By building strong relationships with our clients and maintaining regular communication, we have a better idea of who our client is, what is important to them, how to best represent them to protect their interests, and how to meet and exceed their expectations.

Each case is different and is treated as such with a thorough case evaluation to determine the best course of action given the specifics of the case. This evaluation identifies potential opportunities for settlement, as well as foreclosure alternative options, including loss-mitigation, consent judgments, deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure and short sales.

Full transparency. Hourly rates and anticipated fees and costs are discussed at the onset of representation so there are no hidden surprises when our clients receive detailed legal invoices from our firm. 

Value. We maximize our utilization of legal technology solutions to ensure efficiency, both in time and cost. We provide top-notch local representation at fair prices. Our central office is conveniently located in Beverly, MA, which is located about 40 minutes north of Boston and 40 minutes south of Maine and New Hampshire. What does that mean for our clients? We are not paying the exorbitant overhead costs you might expect from some of the big city firms, and we are able to proudly pass on the savings to our clients.

We look forward to working with you!
