Patrick John McDonough

Pat took a very difficult case for me (DUI) and got it reduced to reckless driving. His professionalism and expertise were amazing. I suffer from panic disorder, and that was absolutely evident during the three months it took to get this case handled. Through it all, Pat and his team (Rebecca and ...Teresa) were patient and willing to help at a moment's notice. I was proactive just a Pat had asked me to be. The penalties for the reduction are still pretty stiff, but Pat believes the outcome is amazing. I have and will continue to trust Pat and ATC with any legal issues in my life. I trust them explicitly. I couldn't ask for a better person to deal with. I just can't say enough. Finally at peace.

Pat McDonough has helped both myself and my teenage daughter with two legal cases that required his expertise and legal savvy. My daughter was out past curfew and was involved in a car accident where she was not the driver. In addition, she refused to take a breathalyzer test and was arrested. Pat ...was able to not only represent her, he had her case expunged and her reputation saved in the public eye. There is no public record of this incident and I am happy to report that my daughter is a successful college student and doing well. In my case, I was arrested for a DUI that was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Pat suggested that a I do a lot of prep work before my hearing, presented my case early to the prosecutor for a plea, and represented me at my plea hearing. He was able to have one charge completely dropped and my other charge reduced to reckless driving. The most important thing Pat did for me was to keep my personal and professional reputation in tact and reduce any harm this arrest would have had regarding my work. My reputation is priceless, and this is the reason that if I ever find myself or any of my family members in legal trouble, Pat will be my first and only call for expert legal representation and advice.

Mr. McDonough, in a very comprehensive and efficient manor, was able to put together a strong legal argument for my case that had my charges suppressed and penalty decreased by my very first appearance in court. Selecting a lawyer is extremely stressful and shrouded in uncertainty, but even before M...r. McDonough got started with my case at least through meeting him I was given the piece of mind that I knew I was in good hands. Even though my potential outcome wasn't clear yet, I knew that all that could be done would be. Ultimately, I am very pleased that Mr. McDonough was able to help me get my DUI and Traffic charges suppressed to lesser charges, especially in the quickest and most timely way.

We started out hiring Patrick after an incident involving 2 drug felonies and 3 misdemeanors. While that case was being worked out I had another hiccup in the road with a DUI. After studying the facts of both cases he took on the DUI first ultimately getting the charge dropped as an unlawful stop. Af...ter beating that case he immediately started on the next involving the two drug felonies and three misdemeanors. Pat managed to get every charged dropped and changed to one count of a prescription out of bottle (a very innocent misdemeanor). I must serve 12 months probation and THATS IT. After the 12 months that charge will be dropped giving me a clean start and a clear record. His assistants are wonderful as well and always answer swiftly with any questions you may have. I really can't say one poor thing about Pat and his team as they are comforting and professional at the same time. I have been so fortunate to have found a great lawyer that made this process go so smoothly.

Earlier this year I was charged with a DUI. The situation was stressful as anyone could imagine. A serious charge on my record, jail time, and license suspension was at stake. With Mr. McDonough and his teams experience and expertise throughout the process, I was able to avoid it all. My charge was r...educed, I kept my license, did not receive points on my license, and did not serve additional jail time. With his hard work and knowledge, he was able to negotiate with the prosecutor with the odds stacked against me. I would highly recommend him if you are in need of legal assistance.
