Mr. Donovan was referred to me by a neighbor and friend. I had a great experience with Mr. Donovan and his staff. I am 81 years old, never arrested before so I knew nothing about the courts and how they worked. Mr. Donovan had the patience to work with me, his staff kept me informed and up to date. He advised me in matters that I had never experienced. After six months of anxiety my case was dismissed. A big relief that probably would not have happened had it not been for Mr. Donovan, Mr. Donovan is a man of few words but lots of action behind the scene. Thank you, Mr. Donovan and staff. They get six stars from me.
