Posted by Client | December 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Dilligent, Smart, and Highly Qualified

Attorney Donnelly represented me in a very complicated (messy) legal scenario. Facing a litany of criminal charges and cases, attorney Donnelly handled everything in a very calculated manner. Most often the courts place importance on prosecution, finality, and resolution over due process. It can be v...ery frustrating for clients facing serious charges/time dealing with the courts; however, attorney Donnelly's ability and willingness to meet and deal with prosecutors and judge was unprecedented. Prior to retaining attorney Donnelly I had spoken/met with nearly every highly respected criminal defense attorney in Hartford County (and one from Bridgeport & New Haven). I chose attorney Donnelly because of his level headed approach and frankness. He never made promises he couldn't keep. He never pressured me. And never mislead me. Attorney Donnely's ability and commitment saved me from spending the next 3-4 years locked up. I highly recommend Jeremy for representation in CT criminal court cases.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
