Very Effective, professional and reasonably priced Attorney.

Attorney Paul Donaghue Jr is highly recommended from our family. His defense for an OUI case was professional and worked out very favorably. He is comforting and very knowledgeable, his vast experience showed in the courtroom as well. I highly recommended Attorney Donaghue you'll be pleased with the ...results.

Excellent

Paul was efficient and very knowledgeable! He got everything dismissed within only a few moments of being in the court room! I had gotten into a car accident and was so worried about the charges but he looked over all of the information I provided him with and ultimately got me the best outcome.

Successful Defense & Resolution of My Case

Attorney Donaghue was extremely thorough in his research and preparation of my case, keeping me informed at all stages as my OUI case move through the MA Court System at the onset of Covid19. He kept me informed of the legal precedent that supported his approach to my case. His knowledge not only of ...the law but historical interpretation of statutes and his experience with the MA Judicial System allowed him to prevail and win my case. I highly recommend Atty. Donaghue to anyone and everyone that is dealing with an OUI charge.

OUI

I hired Paul for legal representation as my lawyer following an OUI arrest. A close friend recommended him highly after Paul had resolved a similar situation He was in. He was easy to contact and quickly calmed my nerves after I explained the situation to him and I felt I was in good hands. It was a ...long 4 month wait before my trial but Paul was with me every step of the way. My case had further complications as I was licensed out of his state of practice and still Paul rose to the challenge. He is thorough and will fight any angle he can for the best outcome of the case.

Outstanding

Atty. Donahue was recommended to me for defense in my 1st OUI case. Paul was excellent in guiding me through the Legal process. We prepared for a jury trial but ended up with a bench trial before a judge. Very knowledable and professional. Finding NOT GUILTY.
