Great attorney

Patrick is a solid attorney and guy. I was worried about my case but he reassured me any time I called and just had it dismissed. Huge weight off. He was professional and knowledgeable but was also down to earth which I appreciated. Hope I don’t need a lawyer again but if I do, 100% calling Patric...k.

Thank you!

Mr. Donovan was a great defense lawyer. He was very easy to talk to and great at communicating what he needed from me. He made me feel comfortable throughout the whole experience and helped me win my case. Thank you.

Violation of an Abuse Prevention Order

I was charged with violating restraining order that required I should not abuse my wife. My wife called the police and told them I was not letting her in the bedroom and that I pushed her and tried to have unwanted sex with her. Case was tried before a judge and the judge found the client NOT GUILTY....

Successful Motor Vehicle Infraction Appeal

Good afternoon, I hired Patrick to represent me for a moving violation infraction in Barnstable MA. I was pulled over by Massachusetts State Police with lidar doing 79 mph in a 55 mph zone. Originally when I first spoke with Patrick prior to appealing my speeding ticket, he provided me with a lot... of knowledge and advice on how to successfully appeal my ticket. He directed me on what the first step of the appeal was, as well as the entire appeal process. I had planned on going to the court with Patrick but when the day of the hearing came up, I was unable to make an appearance. Patrick had told me he would really like my presence at the hearing as it greatly increased my odds of winning, however that was not an option in my case. He told me he would try his absolute hardest to appeal the ticket in my favor. I spoke to him shortly after the hearing with the GREAT news! He was successfully able to appeal my ticket. Not only did Patrick save me from having to pay for the speeding ticket, but he also saved me years of insurance increases. I am completely satisfied with Patrick's knowledge, professional skill and customer service. In the future, if I was to ever need a lawyer again I would definitely call Patrick Donovan!

Case Dismissed!!!!

Attorney Donovan was awesome handling my daughters case. She is a college student and was caught drinking in a bar and used a fake ID! He kept me calm as well as my daughter. He was very professional and explained the process to us. He and my daughter went to court without me, I trusted him enough ...that I knew my daughter was in great hands! After the hearing I received a call from my relieved daughter that her case was dismissed! 10 minutes later I got a call from Attroney Donovan as well explaining the outcome! We are very grateful for his help in this situation and I have to say he was very affordable for the case he handled! I would highly recommend him!
