Paul R Donaghue Jr

Mr. Donaghue did a wonderful job defending my child in an OUI. He kept us well informed and made sure we were at ease at a very stressful time. He was confident and kind, we were extremely lucky to have had him in our corner. It was clear to me that he had the respect of the court and those that w...ork there. I would give him as high a mark as possible and would recommend him with out hesitation.

I spoke to Paul the morning after I was arrested for OUI with a breath test of .20 At our first meeting he reviewed the police report and was quick to point out mistakes that the police had made and explained to me how the case could be won. After receiving all of the evidence Paul was meticulo...us at reviewing every detail. At the motion to suppress the court ruled in our favor throwing out of evidence the breath test results, the sobriety test and any statements I had made due to lack of Miranda. We went to a jury trial and I was found not guilty of OUI. I was so incredibly relieved and happy that I could finally move on with my life. Paul Donaghue is an expert in the field of OUI and his court performance is extremely impressive. He always returned my calls and his fee was reasonable and worth every cent. I was very fortunate that he was recommended to me.

Attorney Donaghue handled my OUI 2nd offense case. I was arrested and had a ,15 breath test. He told me that we could get the test thrown out by getting the whole stop thrown out because the police didn't have a legal reason to stop me. Well, we had a motion to suppress in court (Ayer) and the... judge ruled that the police did have a right to stop me. We went to trial and lost, as we expected. We appealed the judge's decision denying the motion to supprerss all of the evidence because of the bad stop. Two years later the appeals court ruled in my favor (July 18, 2011) and said the motion should have been allowed. They ordered my guilty finding reversed and ordered judgment in my favor. It was a long 2 years, but Attorney Donaghue did everything he said he would. It was strange listening to the appeals court judges at the appeal say the same things that he had told me about why the motion should have been allowed. In the end, he was nothing short of spectacular, in the court and in helping me get my license back with the registry. I would recommed him in a heartbeat. And he didn't charge me an arm and a leg.

Attorney Donaghue represented me for a drunk driving case. I was arrested by the state police at a sobriety roadblock and took a breathaslyzer which was .09. He told me that we would try to get the whole case thrown out because the police didn’t follow the proper procedure. He also said if we c...ouldn’t get the whole thing thrown out, at least we’d get the breath test thrown out because the police didn’t follow the right rules for that. We had a hearing in court a few weeks ago and the judge said the state police didn’t do the roadblcok right. She also said that the breathalyzer wasn’t done right either and she said all of the evidence was thrown out. After that, the D.A. dismissed the case. Everything happened so fast in court, that I wasn’t quite sure what happened, but I knew it was something very good. When Attorney Donaghue explained to me what happened, I couldn’t stop smiling, I was so happy. I was so glad, the first thing I did was call the person who recommended him to me and thank them. I will recommend him to anyone I know, he was great. He did what he said he was going to do and what he charged was reasonable.
