Very poor communication and charges WAY too much

If you want an attorney that communicates well with you and keeps you updated, he’s not the right one for you. We wouldn’t get a returned call for weeks at times. His communication added a lot of stress and worry and was frustrating that we felt very much in the dark all the time about what was going... on. He also charged an outrageous price, talking to other attorneys they felt he charged us twice what he should’ve. Then we had to threaten to get the remaining money he owed us, that was left from the retirement plan that paid him. After threatening and calling over and over with evidence he finally gave us back the $50,000 that was our money. He blamed a previous secretary for the mistake. He wouldn’t kept it if we didn’t force him to do so. He should’ve been an ally, friend, and supporter to make this extremely stressful situation easier but instead he added stress and made us really question if he was doing what was best for the case. Be cautious especially regarding communication and cost for his services.

No doubt the best in Deschutes County

Bryan and his team are great people and amazing at what they do. I was facing 17 different charges, and after a lot of great guidance and advice on steps to take, we came to a plea with the DA and went in front of the judge. Bryan had negotiated the charges down to 5, and I was facing 60 days in jail.... The judge ended up suspending the jail time and basically giving me one charge. The outcome was better than any of us expected and I am extremely thankful and lucky to have someone like Bryan on my team. Bryan wasn't trying to get me out of trouble or try and work the system, he gave me calculated and sound advice at every new turn, and helped me tremendously. Thank you, especially Bryan and Nicole, for all your time in effort in helping me weather this storm and come out on the other end in the best possible scenario.

Bryan saved my job, my livelihood and my life!!

Only five stars? Can I get more stars, please? Donahue Law deserves way more than just five stars!! I can't thank enough, Bryan and his team, for everything they did for me. Bryan listened to me, sympathized with me and understood me. The greatest of all was that he BELIEVED me, which allowed ...me to place my full trust in Donahue Law to take care of me and my case. And take care of me they did! My charges were reduced, and then Bryan negotiated for a full dismissal of my case. It was the best possible outcome for my situation. He helped save my job, my livelihood and my way of life! The Donahue Law team was always kind, understanding and very professional. I will be forever grateful for their services. I highly recommend Donahue Law for criminal defense matters. Thank you Bryan!!!!

This is your Guy

Brian and the Donahue Law Firm kept me informed throughout the entire process of my case. They were very receptive to my concerns and kept me informed throughout the entire process. As a new resident to Bend, I found myself entangled in a situation that was distorted by law enforcement and caused me ...to charged with a crime in which false statements were made. Brian and his firm were able to persuade the District Attorney's office to dismiss the charges after only one court appearance. I found that he and his team were knowledgeable and understanding of the unique system here in Deshutes County. I would not hesitate to hire him again. If you need a proactive lawyer that will work hard for you, give him a call
