Alfred E Donohue's Lawyer Endorsements
"Al has the experience, intellect, and good judgment to consistently achieve excellent results for his clients, even in difficult cases. Al has a winning personality. He can be either aggressive and formidable, or charming and friendly, as needed to serve his client's interests."
"Before Al Donahue began his practice, he was a favored clerk of William Baker, judge at Division One of the Court of Appeals. That is a high honor among the judiciary. It means that his intelligence and legal acumen are exceptional. What's more, that intellect is combined with an incredibly affable personality. One can't help but like Al."
