OUI 2nd offense

My boyfriend got arrested for an OUI back on 2/2012. We were given Paul's name from a few different people (one being a police officer ). One our first meeting with Paul he outlined what his defense would be and my boyfriend was sold on having him represent him as his lawyer. Paul worked very h...ard on his case for over a year and a half. All during this time I was nervous and thought the worse but, after one day in court while waiting for our case to be called another OUI case was started. I could tell the lawyer of that case was flustered by some of the judge's questions and just didn't seem too sure of himself. Well we decided to wait outside the courtroom. While we waited I heard Paul and another attorney converse about that lawyer back in the courtroom. I heard Paul rattle out all these questions/statements that should of been either asked or stated and at that moment I was totally sold on him and knew we would win. So after several more court dates we finally had our day in court November 2013 and we were VICTORIOUS! Paul knows his stuff when it comes to OUI/DUI/DWI . Thanks Paul for everything!

Trustworthy

Paul Donaghue took my personal injury case without batting an eyelash. He assured me that I had a ligitment case against a big conglomerate and we could win. Three years later we ended up in court with a jury. My sister, brother and sister-in-law went to the trial with me. They thought Paul was la...id back, But when it got to cross examining their witness and the closing statement, Paul blew them away. We won punitive damages with interest. I would recommend Paul Donaghue to anyone I know that needs a great lawyer.

Attorney Paul R Donaghue Jr.

I was injured in a motor vehicle accident. Although I had a pre-existing back injury, Attorney Donaghue was able to settle my case and acquire a large sum on my behalf. I was completely satisfied with his knowledge of the law and his ability to achieve a desirable result on my behalf.

Highly recommend Attorney Paul R. Donaghue.

Attorney Paul R Donaghue came highly recommended by Lowell area attorney's to represent our daughter in a very difficult OUI case. This case had a lot of unique and difficult hurtles, and to be absolutely honest I did not see the possibility of small or large victory's in any scenario. Attorney ...Donaghue will review the case and tell you exactly what he will do, he is extremely honest at what he believes he can disprove and or prove. His knowledge of the law and the way he runs his case, I can see why his colleges so highly recommended him. Very very pleased of the outcome, case completed 8/16/2012
