DUI and DWI 70%

While I have a general criminal defense practice, I specialize in DUI/DWI because of my biochemistry education and experience. Clients accused of DUI hire me to beat the charge, not to plea them guilty. Because I can effectively cross examine the government's chemist, I am often successful at beating the charge of DUI.

Criminal Defense 30%

While I specialize in DUI/DWI with effective cross examination of the government's chemist, I do represent clients charged with other crimes. I have done more than 70 battery trials, as well as several murder trials, and robbery and lewdness trials. Of course, I do numerous traffic tickets for clients as well.

Posted by Joe Rothstein | October 20, 2014 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Attorney Donohue at Ticket KING is the BEST Attorney in Town, he is HONEST and SINCERE!!!

I hired Attorney Donohue for a traffic ticket. Mr. Donohue is a down to earth Attorney, HE is HONEST and SINCERE, not like the other attorneys!!! This lawyer kicked ass in court, he was able to reduce my traffic ticket to a lesser violation, he turned into an illegal parking. Attorney Donohue sav...ed me money by not allowing the points on my driving record. I highly recommend this attorney and TICKET KING to anyone needing a traffic ticket RESOLVED!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2012.

Public Reprimand issued in NV, 2012

updated on 10/25/2016

Public reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Jerry’s comment:

“I started a traffic ticket processing company called Ticket King, with a non-attorney. I saw nothing wrong with that since I had my law practice separated from Ticket King. However, the State Bar decided that Ticket King was itself a law practice. I was given the Reprimand because it is against the rules for an attorney to own a law firm with a non-attorney. It was Public so that other new attorneys would not make the same assumption that a traffic ticket processing company isn't a law firm.”
