I’m happy with my experience with Ryan!

Ryan is a genuine lawyer and great guy who really helped me out and had my best interest… I was looking at assault and battery charges and he helped me get it cleared up and taken care of. He made sure to check in with me and that I was aware of the ongoing process. Thanks again Ryan!

Ryan helped take two charges off my case and made it easy for myself to show up in court with confidence. He was very straightforward and easy to get in touch with highly recommend his expertise for anyone who has any form of legal trouble.

Outstanding lawyer

I hired Ryan when faced with some serious charges. My case went just the way he seemed to anticipate. He was extremely prepared, polished, and got my case to trial in a pretty short amount of time. His questioning of the officer and argument to the judge was very impressive and led to a Not Guilty on... all charges. Highly recommend having him in your corner.

Magistrates hearing

My friend recommended attorney Donahue to help me out and it wasn’t a bad choice for me to hire him at all. He came in very professional well spoken and got my case dismissed before any further legal action was taken. Not to mention he also got my friends case dismissed on his first appearance as wel...l. He’s is affordable and willing to negotiate pricing depending where the case goes. Would 100% recommend!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
