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.

Excellent experienced DUI Attorney

Bryan Donahue is a highly sought after DUI defense attorney and I was grateful he took my case! His experience safeguarded my mental health throughout the challenging process and he always let me know my options and the legal process. He would always tell me the good and bad of my case upfront and t...hen offer the best legal advice. As a a seasoned professional, he secured the best outcome for my case. His paralegal Tanya is so sweet, understanding and professional. She always made sure I knew what was going on with my case and made sure I was in contact with Bryan for any last minute questions… she’s also pretty funny and fun to talk to. Highly recommend the Donahue Team!

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

Highly Recommend/Talented Trial Lawyer

I recently found myself in need of an attorney who wasn't afraid to go to court and fight for me and my clean historical record. Bryan introduced himself to me while I was attempting to make my way through the hearing process -- I retained him on the spot. At court Bryan was thoroughly prepared an...d made well-thought and effective arguments on my behalf. I couldn't have been more pleased with his presence in court and professionalism. He is a talented trial lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone. I sense that Bryan is a rising star in trial law - bright, personable, knowledgeable, and effective. He brings a much-needed human touch to his attorney-client relationships.
