Donna Coffey

Accounts and Administration Assistant

Donna is an Accounts and Administration Assistant at Orbell Family Lawyers.  With more than 25 years of experience in administration roles, Donna has succeeded in upskilling her knowledge, becoming a valued office all-rounder with a multitude of skills.

Starting in legal as a Secretary, Donna found her love for the industry, hoping she would make a return after leaving to have her first child.  Since then, Donna has dabbled in a few careers while still establishing herself in admin.  Donna is excited to return to the legal industry after nearly three decades, looking forward to extending her skills to, this time, explore family law.

From her own personal experience, Donna understands the continually had work that relationships require and is compassionate to the parties when the communication/relationship breaks down.  Donna hopes and encourages all breakup couples to put their children’s welfare and feelings as a priority.

In her spare time, Donna enjoys taking her dog for walks, jazzercise, travelling and gardening.  Her favourite time of the year is spring, embracing the floral scent of fresh blooms and the warm ambience in the air.

More than 25 years of experience in administration, including prior work as a legal secretary. Currently supports accounts and administration at Orbell Family Lawyers with a broad skill set developed across diverse industries.
