Maureen Donhue's your gal!

Maureen Donahue was my atty for my divorce - recommended to me by someone else whom she had represented.. I was very naive on the subject in a complex situation. Her VERY caring and knowledgable guidance helped me navigate the stormy emotional waters of it to an equitable and fair judgement. She does...n't chase ambulances. Her work ethic is pristine and her rate reasonable considering the outcome: She wins. On the other hand - if you want her to be a tiger - well she can be all of that too. If you're looking for someone you will come to love and trust, and call friend after, Maureen is the one you want to call. She does all of it - soup to nuts not just divorce. Don't call anyone else - she's the BEST.

Extremely Satisfied Divorce Client

Attorney Donahue represented me in a very contentious and drawn out divorce perpetuated by my former spouse and her two different attorneys. Attorney Donahue's competence during several weeks of trial was evident from the start. In addition to her courtroom abilities, the fact that her rates were r...easonable compared to other lawyers I interviewed, her retainer agreement allowed for a flexible payment plan which was very helpful during this high stress period.
