Patrick John McDonough

Patrick McDonough was the best lawyer we could have representing us. Life was a mess and Mr. McDonough went to work. We were so lost but our lawyer communicated and gave honest feedback, my case is finally resolved. Thank you Pat. I feel like he is an attorney that has seen it all and knows what to d...o. I will recommend Mr McDonough to anyone dealing with a criminal case who wants justice and peace of mind.

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.

A month ago I was pulled over for speeding, and I ended up getting arrested for 2 misdemeanors involving drugs. Facing 3 charges, with a previous misdemeanor involving drugs, I was awfully worried what would result at my arraignment. However, Patrick was amazing! He was very polite, informative, and ...respectful. He was always an email/phone call away, and I never had an issue getting in touch with him. His consultation was very reassuring; after telling him the details of my case, he gave me a very specific outline of what I should preemptively in order to ensure that my case would go in the direction we wanted it to. He wasn't overly optimistic nor pessimistic, and gave me very realistic expectations of what he could do for me and what would end up happening. After going to court, I was able to enter the Pre-Trial Diversion program even after completing it in my previous case. I already completed most of the requirements needed for probation, due to Patrick's insight and recommendations, and all I have to do is 12 months of probation and a few seminars. I would highly recommend hiring Patrick.

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.
