I am honored to hear I have been voted “ Best Personal Injury Lawyer” and Donahue Law was voted “ Best Law Firm” by the Monadnock Broadcasting Group for 2023. Although my law practice is entirely personal injury, I am happy to take a call from anyone with any kind of...
I'm happy to report that Donahue Law was recently involved in another very substantial personal injury settlement. A deserving client now has life-changing financial compensation. It was a pleasure to help make this happen. If you or someone you care about needs a...
I’m looking forward to working with some close lawyer friends from Wisconsin and Louisiana on a big class action case. It involves consumer protection and seeks compensation for a rip-off. Like many such cases, the amount each consumer is ripped-off tends to be small,...
