Business Sales and Management Advice

We have worked with Mr. Donohue on several varied transactions which include residential sale review, business sale review...and also asked for his guidance with general business advice. We find him to be great to work with, knowledgeable, confident and most importantly...communicative. We have also ...been impressed with his wilingness to refer us to other attorneys when the requests we made were beyond his area of expertise. I can not think of an Attorney I have worked with that I feel more confident and enthusiastic to recommend.

Great Lawyer!

Mr. Donohue is very knowledgable and very diligent on his pursuit to find justice for your situation. For me, he is helping me regain ownership of a design that was stolen from me from a former client. It will be a long process but worth the effort and Jay is making it easy and understandable.

Helpful and effective

Jay met with me on short notice when my employer tried to pursue a very vague and unfair non-compete as I was moving jobs. He knew right away how everything would likely pan out and worked very hard to ease my concerns. He deserves all the highest marks for being on top of it, updating me and solving... my issue quickly with the lowest cost.

Real Estate Broker

Jay has broad knowledge of the entire real estate life cycle and I have used his services for dispute, contract review, amend/extend language, and agency relations. I have referred him to clients and Jay has been quick to set a meeting with them to obtain the best course of action in this unique real... estate market. I have thrown everything at him only to have quick and sound results. Jay is a consummate professional and a very easy phone call.
