I retained Sean for a civil matter. From the start, he was confidant he could bring the matter to successful conclusion and I didn't spend any time worrying about the case. Sean's negotiation and trial experience got us the settlement we wanted. Our opponents did not want to face Sean at trial. They caved in!

I contacted Sean Donahue to defend me when a person accused me of leaving the scene of an accident. The thing that I immediately liked about Sean was his methodical and thorough way of collecting evidence. He also helped by calling the managers of the building next to the location of the incident, to secure the camera footage to prove my innocence, something I had asked the police to do, but the police were taking their time about it. Additionally, as we needed to speak to a detective, and the only time the detective was available was at 8:00 pm on a Saturday night, Sean came to the meeting at that time. During that meeting, Sean was able to help me a lot. At the hearing, Sean was able to get the case dismissed even without showing the video footage. He really knows how to handle things. While Sean was representing me, he made me aware of my rights, gave great advice, returned my calls within hours, explained everything well, never rushed our meetings, and prepared really well for the hearing. Sean has great rapport with all kinds of people, he truly loves his work, has a range of experience and a great sense of humor.

Hired Sean to take care of different cases over the years. Extremely professional at all times. Recommended to me by a friend, he will certainly be recommended by me to anyone who needs a great attorney. Ponctual, professional, knowledgeable.

I hired Sean to help us with a City violation against our establishment. He was courteous and prompt. His prices were fair and he even followed up after the ruling and asked if we were satisfied. He did an outstanding job. I would feel very comfortable using Sean again at anytime and highly recommend him.
