I used Attorney Donovan in a unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle case where I missed the court date and had an arrest warrant. He was responsive and took all the pressure off of me. He knew his stuff and when I got to the court house with him it was clear he was connected in the Boston system and... within an hour and a half I was out all charges dropped. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!!

I hired Patrick T Donovan to defend against a potential criminal complaint for driving on a suspended license in Quincy, MA at Quincy Courthouse. The suspension was for civil offences. I was concerned as my driving record is not good and I have appeared at speeding ticket hearings previously to no av...ail. My drivers license is very important to me. Patrick was able to get my case dissmissed without a fine or any further requirements on my behalf. I am sure if I appeared on my own the clerk magistrate would have peppered me with questions and fined me or suspended my license again or who knows what else. The court could have even found me guilty of criminal offence. If you have a case like this or even a speeding ticket, trust me, having Patrick there makes a big difference. After Patrick had my case dissmissed, without question, I will never appear on my own again.

I highly recommend Attorney Donovan as a defense lawyer for criminal matters. He came to my arraignment after I called him only the night before (I had called several lawyers and he was the only attorney to call me back that morning). His fees are reasonable and he is very knowledgeable. He took t...he time to explain what I needed to know and had an excellent plan for how to handle my case. He was very understanding about my situation and made me feel confident about relying on his expertise. He was able to negotiate effectively with the prosecutor, but I believe he would have been very tough in defending the matter at trial if we had needed to get that far--we didn't because he negotiated an excellent deal.

My girl friend had an anger outburst and falsely accused me of domestic violence. Even though I did not commit any violence either physically or verbally, the police still took her statement seriously and set an unusually high bail for me to get out of jail. The DA also seemed to want pursue the cas...e hard. Mr. Donovan used the best strategy to defend me, and in end (4 months later) the judge simply dismissed the case. I would recommend Mr. Donovan for anyone who needs a good lawyer in similar situations.
