Nineteen years ago, I was sworn in as a licensed Tennessee attorney by Judge Thomas Seeley, Jr. — a moment that remains one of my favorite memories and one of the greatest honors of my life.

I am deeply grateful to every client who has trusted me with their legal needs throughout these years. Your confidence and support have meant more than words can express.

It has been a privilege to serve the people of the First Judicial District, and I look forward to continuing that service for many years to come.

Today I had the incredible opportunity to speak to the third through fifth graders at Love Chapel for Career Day. The future is bright in Unicoi County. ❤️ The students were eager to learn about being an attorney, and they asked some of the best questions I’ve ever received. I’m so impressed by their curiosity, enthusiasm, and confidence. It was an honor to spend time with such a thoughtful group of students!

It was a beautiful day for the GFWC Erwin Monday Club Charity Golf Tournament. Over fifty participants teed off around 10 am at the Erwin Elks Par 3 golf course.

A special congratulations to Ray Lawson on his remarkable hole-in-one!

Thank you to the Children's Advocacy Center of the First Judicial District and CASA of Northeast Tennessee for putting together this fun event last Saturday evening.

Everyone seemed to enjoy a little friendly out of court competition with colleagues and local judges.

This award is so very special to me. ❤️ It was such a pleasant surprise to be honored at the Chamber of Commerce dinner last Thursday night. I am truly humbled and grateful for this recognition. Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way—it means more than you know. I am very proud to be part of such an amazing community.

The Chamber of Commerce would like to congratulate The Donnelly Law Firm on receiving the 2026 Chamber of Commerce Best of Unicoi County Professional Services Business of the Year Award.

Professional excellence is measured not only by expertise, but by integrity, trust, and the lasting impact made in the lives of others. The Donnelly Law Firm exemplifies the very best of professional services in Unicoi County, setting a standard of excellence, ethical leadership, and compassionate client advocacy that reaches far beyond the courtroom.

Under the leadership of Attorney Stana Donnelly, the firm provides trusted legal guidance to individuals and families during some of the most important and emotionally significant moments of their lives. Since establishing her practice in Erwin in 2007, Stana has focused on trusts and estate planning, probate law, real estate, juvenile law, juvenile advocacy, and family law — areas that require not only legal precision, but care, discretion, and sound judgment during life’s most pivotal seasons.

Her educational background — including a Juris Doctorate from Thurgood Marshall School of Law, a Master of Public Administration, and a Bachelor of Arts degree — reflects both breadth and depth of preparation for public service. That foundation is evident in her thoughtful, steady, and people-centered approach to every case she undertakes.

What truly distinguishes The Donnelly Law Firm is its unwavering commitment to advocacy, particularly in sensitive cases involving children and families. Clients consistently describe Stana as professional, knowledgeable, and deeply invested — someone who goes above and beyond to ensure that the most vulnerable are heard, protected, and represented with dignity.

Beyond her practice, Stana serves on the Unicoi County Chamber Board of Directors and volunteers on several local boards, demonstrating a belief that professional expertise carries a responsibility to strengthen the broader community.

Through integrity, compassion, leadership, and steadfast dedication, The Donnelly Law Firm has made a meaningful and lasting impact on Unicoi County — embodying the true spirit of professional service.
