great lawyer

Michael Donovan represented me in my DWI court case. He was very knowledgeable in this area. He was able to help me keep my driver's license and avoid large fines and jail time. He helped get my case into a pretrial diversion program. He knew the ins and outs of the legal system and kept me informed ...of the best decisions to make. I plan to use him again in the near future for other services such as living wills and prenuptial agreements before I get married.
