Donny McClellan

Estate Attorney, The McClellan Law Firm

About

Raised along the Front Range, Donny McClellan is an adventurer at heart. His journey has taken him around the world, with experiences living overseas and across the U.S., but he ultimately chose to settle back in Northern Colorado—because, as he believes, there’s no better place on earth. Donny’s wife, Whitney, a Colorado native, shares his love for the region and is the proud owner of Brick & Vine Real Estate and Property Management, LLC. Together, they enjoy spending quality time with their two children and two dogs, embracing the Colorado lifestyle.

Donny’s academic journey is as impressive as his legal career. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Utah Valley University, followed by a Master of Arts from the University of Denver. He then pursued his Juris Doctor (J.D.) at Washburn University School of Law, where he graduated with Dean’s Honors. During law school, Donny distinguished himself as a student attorney in the Family Law Clinic, a writer for the Washburn Law Journal, his law school’s American Bar Association Representative, and a volunteer at the Veterans Legal Assistance Clinic.

After graduating, Donny achieved a remarkable feat by scoring in the top 2% in the nation on the Multistate Bar Exam. He began his legal career clerking for the Honorable Thomas R. French in Colorado’s 8th Judicial District. This invaluable experience paved the way for his private practice, where he developed a versatile legal background in business law, estate planning, and family law. Today, Donny offers his extensive legal expertise at The McClellan Law Firm, where he is committed to serving the needs of his clients.

Donny is licensed to practice law in Colorado and is a proud member of the Colorado Bar Association. With a child-focused approach, Donny prioritizes the best interests of the family in every case he handles. He is dedicated to ensuring that the well-being of children and the stability of the family are at the forefront of his practice.

Testimonials

Megan Townsend

Owner, Altitude Arborist

"We work with Donny for our business needs and have been thrilled with each interaction. We first worked with Donny when we realized we needed to draft terms and conditions for our business. He was thorough in reviewing what we had drafted and helped us avoid some potential pitfalls we were not aware of. Since then, Donny has helped us draft employee contracts and advised us on other employment matters.

Donny is thorough, thoughtful and takes the time to make sure you understand everything. He is also quite responsive and follows up when needed. I love that we can reach out for any of our business law needs and feel confident he has the knowledge to guide us to the proper solution in a timely fashion.

We look forward to working with Donny as our business grows and our next step is to get our estate planning done with his firm. It's comforting knowing Donny has knowledge of how small businesses work and can take that into account during estate planning."
