Rose Donaldson
Temple, Texas Paralegal
Rose Donaldson joined Blanchard & Thomas at the Temple office in 2017. She has more than a decade of paralegal experience and work in similar backgrounds. Today, she plays an integral role in the management of both criminal and family law cases our law firm accepts.
Born in Victoria, Texas but growing up in the small town of Moody to the north, Rose feels a deep connection to Texas and fellow Texans alike. After graduating from Moody High School, she attended McLennan Community College (MCC), where she earned an Associate’s Degree in Applied Sciences. She also graduated with high honors from the MCC Paralegal Program in 2006 and found work as a paralegal in 2007 with McDonald, Moody, and McKethan.
After that firm disbanded, she continued to work with one of the firm’s partners until he retired in 2010. This prompted Rose to further explore her interests in other areas of the law. She became a licensed private investigator and has handled many criminal investigations in that capacity. She also became a certified process server, worked as both a bondsman’s assistant, and acted as an independent private process server in Bell County.
It is her many years of experience in the legal profession working in different roles that have made her such an invaluable asset to the B&T team. There are few situations in criminal or family law that she has not experienced and managed for a client.
Rose now resides in Temple, Texas. She is the proud mother of three beautiful children: Dillon, Cydney, and Bryce. She has spent many years acting as a team mom, coach, and being the most supportive fan possible to her children and their friends. She is already thinking about exploring new hobbies and making new adventures when her nest eventually empties. Most of all, she looks forward many more years in the legal field helping clients find successful resolutions to their legal dilemma.
