I had a great experience with Attorney Donovan. I was charged with two tickets on the Mass Pike for following too close and speeding. Attorney Donovan successfully helped me dispute both charges and I was found not guilty. I would definitely recommend him.

Attorney Donovan recently assisted me with a motor vehicle violation. When I contacted him, he listened carefully to my concerns. He told me what to expect when having my ticket reviewed by the clerk. His advice was excellent. I was one of the only people that was found not responsible that day. His fee was reasonable and well worth the cost. I hope I don't need to, but would call Attorney Donovan again to represent me.

Patrick Donovan represented me in a traffic case which by all accounts should have never even gotten past the magistrate. He did an excellent job keeping me informed and helping me pick the best of several settlement choices. He saw the case through to the end we settled on and has always been available for questions. His flat-fee for handling cases is very fair since some cases can drag on depending upon the whims of the judicial system. I would definitely recommend him to any one involved in a traffic case with the state of MA.

Attorney Donovan represented me at a hearing for a speeding ticket I received last spring. When I got tickets in the past and tried to defend them myself the best result I could get was a reduced fine. Among other concerns, my auto insurance is already pretty high since I have a teenager with a jr. operator license on it. I didn't want to take the extra hit on my premium over the next few years. After Attorney Donovan explained my circumstances to the the clerk and had her review my past record, she found me not responsible for the ticket. It was the best result I could hope for! Money very well spent considering what he saved me with the cost of the ticket and, in the long run, the increased insurance premiums I faced.

Patrick Donovan recently represented me at a magistrate's hearing. He was very professional, explained his plan and achieved a favorable outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a good advocate.

I contacted Attorney Donovan shortly after I received a summons for an arraignment. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts had charged me with a serious felony, and misdemeanor which carried lasting consequences. Mr. Donovan discussed a plan of action with me that seemed simple and effective. Mr. Donovan represented me multiple times in court, as the prosecution insisted on continuances. My second appearance in court resulted in the felony charge being dismissed. Mr. Donovan was obviously instrumental in the aforementioned dismissal, pointing out the lack of evidence, the "trumped-up" nature of the charge, etc. By my fourth appearance in court, a restraining order had been filed against me, in relation to the charges. Mr. Donovan fought for a dismissal of the misdemeanor charge, and was ultimately successful. Mr. Donovan then managed to expertly defend me in regards to the temporary restraining order. He questioned the plaintiff, and caught her in multiple lies. He requested that the restraining order not be extended, which the Judge agreed with. Ultimately, I walked away that day with exactly what I wanted, dismissal of all charges I had no criminal involvement in, and no restraining order. Overall, Mr. Donovan is everything I could ask for from an attorney. He provided expert legal defense, excellent advice, and was always available. Whenever I needed to speak with him, I was able to get in touch with him within 5-10 minutes, if not immediately. He maintained a pleasant demeanor and always had a positive attitude. His fee was extremely reasonable, especially given the amount of time and effort my case ended up requiring. I would recommend Patrick Donovan to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney. Please consider him, you won't be sorry!

Patrick communicated well, educated and led me through the legal process successfully with my traffic citation. He was responsive, knowledgeable, easy to work with. All positives.

I had gotten a speeding ticket which would have cost me my license so I went to see Patrick Donovan. The response I got was very quick he actually answered the phone on my first try. He is very professional and will let you know during the consultation what you can expect, he is very honest and will not guarantee you anything to try and get your money. I got a phone call from him a couple days before the hearing and was very punctual the day off. He definitely knows his stuff and I didn't have to say anything at all (which is great because I always get nervous in front of judges) and made it possible for me to keep my license, would definitely recommend

I received my third speeding ticket within a three year time frame, which would cause further detriment to my insurance. I contacted a few attorneys and wanted to find one who was knowledgable and also someone who I had a rapport with. Mr. Donovan was very thorough about explaining the process of contesting a ticket and the potential outcomes. He doesn't make any guarantees but does his best to provide the most optimal outcome. Fortunate for me I was found not responsible and managed to save myself money on higher insurance rates and the ticket. I am positive that only by working with Mr. Donovan, I was able to achieve the best outcome.

Mr P. Donovan represented me in important matter to me. He was professional, knowledgeable. He was very helpful in explaining to me exactly what was going on. Mr Donovan helped me get through my bad situation with good results. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Patrick was accessible, knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. It was a great experience.

Patrick Donovan had represented me in a DUI case. He was a very friendly and devoted lawyer who knew much about the legal system. As my process went on, he would guide me on possible situations and outcomes that could occur, but reassured me that I was in good hands. I could tell as the case went on, that he was loyal to his clients and would go that extra mile to help them out. Patrick Donovan always made sure that I knew what was happening, why it was happening and how long the process could take. I can honestly say that I never had to ask many questions, because he would answer them before I had a reason to bring them up. I highly recommend him for anyone who feels that they need a trusting and dependable lawyer.
