Excellent Lawyer!

We contacted Paul early in November 2017 regarding an automobile accident that we believe should not have resulted in the charges made. Upon meeting with Paul, we noted, immediately that he was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. He spent a great deal of time with us providing us with antido...tes about various situations, since this was our first time involved in the legal system. He was able to offer us a complete description of the process and what we should expect. After several phone calls and another personal meeting we attended the hearing in early January, this was regarding two criminal and two civil citations, Paul’s representation at the meeting resulted in the magistrate dismissing all four charges. In summary, without reservation, we highly recommend him.

"excellent attorney"

I hired Paul as an attorney several years ago. I was frightened and quite honestly Paul was not only successful in getting the case against my son dropped,he was spot on in his decision making from day one. He was also very fair with his fee. Recently I called Paul when my son needed legal counsel.... I observed Paul in the courtroom and saw how he navigated his way around the room-always feeling confident that he would once again prove to me that he was the only attorney I would ever call on should the need arise. He did not prove me wrong. Paul Donoghue is a seasoned and skilled attorney who knows the law. I highly recommend him. I would not hesitate to call on him if ever the need arises in the future.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Donaghue was great. Very easy to talk to, he was up front and honest about my OUI case. He kept me informed throughout my case, answered calls right away and he worked hard and knew exactly where our strong points were. very knowledgeable about Ma laws and procedures. He got my case dismissed, I ...cant thank him enough. Highly recommended

Excellent Lawyer

Attorney Donahue came highly recommended and did a great job representing my son. At the initial consultation he was easy to talk to and very informative in explaining how things could turn out. My son was cited on 3 different charges from an auto accident and with Paul representing him at the clerk...'s hearing none of the complaints were issued. I am extremely pleased with how things turned out and highly recommend Attorney Donahue
