Job Well done

I met Attorney Paul Donaghue several years ago when I worked as a police officer. I have seen Paul work in the criminal court system. He is a very competent litigator that knows his way in the criminal system. So, when I needed a lawyer for my wife when she fell, due to a company's negligence, and se...verely injured he shoulder and broke her wrist, there was no question that I gave Paul a call first. Paul guided us throught the civil side of the system advising my wife and I on the pros and cons of taking a injury case to trial, all the time looking out for our best interest. We opted for mediation with and outstanding outcome. Not only does Paul know the law he also is very knowledgeable when it comes to medical terms. There is no question that I would use Paul again and I have already recommended him to several of my friends.

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.
