Paul Donaghue, Jr.

Attorney Donaghue met with my husband and me for a consultation regarding criminal gun charges that were a result of a larceny at our home. My husband's hunting rifle was among the stolen items, so we of course reported it to police and they in turn charged my husband with possession of gun and ammu...nition because his FID card had expired. Attorney Donaghue thoroughly researched the law regarding this situation and presented us with his plan for defending my husband the first night we met. We had to appear in court several times before trial. The trial was yesterday and the outcome was exactly what Paul had discussed. It was a very good outcome and we are extremely satisfied with Attorney Donaghue's services. He was very professional and knowledgeable and even though it was an unfortunate situation, he was able to defend my husband with great success. We will definitely contact Paul in the future when legal services are needed.

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.
