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!

Attorney Donovan was cool but...

I went into Donovan attorney's website, and talked to a person on the live chat. I told him it was a NH case and the chat guy said he can help so I gave him more information about my speeding ticket that I got in NH. After like a 15 mins of chat session with this live chat guy. He will get back to me... asap. I've waited about 11 days. Still no response but I finally got to talk to attorney Donovan himself. He told me he doenst do A NH speeding ticket case. I felt better after talking to tr attorney though. But the live chat guy made me wait 11 days for no reason, made me believe he could help my NH case. Talk to attorney Donovan himself! Not those live chat helpers.

The Best Possible Outcome

Attorney Donovan was terrific to work with. My teenage son got himself into a fair amount of trouble and Attorney Donovan's expertise was just what we needed. He communicated every step of the way and told us honestly about each of the potential outcomes--worst case scenario and best case scenario ...respectively. His patience, advice, and expertise helped us to get the best outcome that we could have hoped for and we are very much appreciative.

Thank you Patrick!

Attorney Patrick Donovan is the one you want to go with, without hesitation! From our first meeting, he was prepared and gave me solid advice and SOLID representation. You just know you're in good hands...anytime I had a question for him throughout the process, he was extremely responsive and knowle...dgeable. I feel I received the best representation possible and I'm very grateful I met Patrick Donovan. In addition to being a defense attorney, he is a former ADA so he knows the court system from both sides which is why I wanted to hire him initially....smart move!

Great attorney!

Attorney Donovan handled two cases for my family in a skillful and professional manner. I would recommend Mr. Donovan for any legal cases as he was knowledgeable, honest, and he achieved the best possible outcome for both cases.
