2nd offense oui

Paul’s is a great guy, helped me threw a 2nd offense oui. I didn’t have much faith in beating it but paul said we’d take it to trial what’s the worst that could happen. We ended up beating it. I would recommend anyone to him and his law firm.

Outstanding OUI attorney for my son’s 1st OUI

Attorney Paul R. Donahue came highly recommended by a friend. When my son & I met Paul we found him to be easy to talk to and he explained everything thoroughly to us. He was honest about what he could for my son’s 1st OUI. He said a jury trial would be best for this particular case. We were extre...mely pleased with the results as we ended up with a not quilty verdict. I would highly recommend attorney Paul R. Donaghue as he is a very skilled OUI attorney and the best in the area.

Great attorney

Attorney Donaghue was excellent. I was facing a 3rd offense oui which carries a felony charge and many aweful punishments including jail and 15 years of license revocation and/or limitations on and on. Thank God I met Paul. His expertise from the very begining was settleing and encouraging. He held t...he faith all along. Ultimately my case was dismised at the jury trial due to attorney Donaghues' skills. I will not get into the details of the dismisal as it involved a MA state trooper for whom I respect. Lets just say Paul won which resulted in my case being fully dismissed and my drivers license was reinstated overturning the 5 year suspension in place for refusing the breathalizer. Thank you attorney Donahue, you gave me my life back!

OUI 3rd- Not Guilty Verdict

From the minute I sat down with Paul and discussed my arrest for 3rd OUI, which is a felony, in case you are not currently aware, I knew that his knowledge, expertise and demeanor was what I needed in an attorney. He was always easy to contact when I had questions throughout my case. He returns phone... calls and emails very quickly which is unusual these days. Most importantly he is very experienced and knows his case law like the back of his hand. I was found not guilty of a 3rd OUI and I am very thankful for his services. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire an attorney for any criminal charges, especially an OUI.
