Thank you

Paul is fantastic. He puts all of this efforts into standing by his clients and making them feel secure. I am so happy I chose him for my representation as he was able to prove my case. I would work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone who may need his services.

Not guilty

Paul is honest, open and comforting. When I got myself into a specific case, Paul reminded me to stay calm. When the time gets close, he will call and walk through the case with you about what may happen. I was referred by my partner's coworker and could say I am thoroughly happy with the outcome of ...my case. I trusted Paul and you can too.

Highly Recommend!!!!!

Attorney Paul Donaghue Jr. is an outstanding attorney who is trustworthy, honest, straight forward, and very comforting. Paul put a lot of legal language into simple terms and helped me understand complicated material regarding my two cases. In addition Paul was proficient and very knowledgeable... inside and outside of the court room. He is very thorough in his research and preparation and kept me informed throughout all stages. Even with the frustrations and delays of COVID-19, Paul remained calm, encouraging and stayed the course. I highly recommend his services.

Restraining Order Case

Attorney Paul Donaghue represented my daughter as the plaintiff seeking a restraining order. Paul Donahue did an excellent job representing my daughter and the judge issued the restraining order.

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.
