When I was accused of an unsubstantiated accusation, every other attorney of reasonable price range provided me with very limited options and tenuous resolutions.
Their attitudes were dismissive and pessimistic in reference to my case. They offered very little hope and very lame solutions.
Patrick, on the other hand was both energetic and reasonably optimistic. He provided actual solutions with actual positive impact.
He was very strategic, methodical and proactive throughout the process.
He was eventually able to win my case with detail oriented argument, investigation and tactful reasoning, however the positive case result was 2nd to his attitude.
While other lawyers reacted to my case with disdain and non-concern, Patrick stepped up and put some god given effort into both strategy and resolve. At the end, he helped beat my DUI case.
I would recommend him over anyone in the greater Boston area.

Pat Donovan was incredible in helping me appeal a substantial ticket for speeding. He was very thorough throughout the process and kept me very informed with updates along the way. Pat helped me erase this ticket off of my record and I avoided massive costs up front and NO increase in my insurance! If you are looking for an attorney that is passionate and willing to go above and beyond to help you, I would absolutely recommend Pat!
From the start Attorney Donovan eased my anxiety about my hit and run with property damage charge. He explained how the process in court works, and what to expect. He met with me the Sunday before my hearing and thoroughly explained everything and gave me a chance to ask lingering questions. He never made me feel stupid and always made himself available. Very prompt, nice, smart, and real. He got my charge dropped and I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. I would recommend Patrick Donovan to anyone with traffic ticket issues. Thank you so much! 🙂 -Sara
Patrick provided excellent representation during my serious, challenging case. I was wrongly charged with a felony offense, and Patrick helped secure the most favorable outcome possible, in which I will have no criminal record, did not admit guilt. He promptly and thoroughly responds to queries and always made it to court on time and prepared. I know that I had many fears and apprehensions going into this process dealing with our justice system but Patrick helped assuage those fears along the way. Great attorney and great guy overall – I highly recommend him!
Pat was AMAZING in helping me get rid of a ticket under my name. He was incredibly helpful and quick to get back to me, as well as making sure I was aware of what was going on throughout the process. He worked very hard to have this removed and save me tons of money. If you need an attorney for ANYTHING, I absolutely would recommend Pat!!
I could not have asked for a better attorney for my case. Patrick was very organized and made sure to help me understand aspects of my case from his extensive experience. The entire situation went from initially very stressful to extremely straightforward due to Patricks diligent communication, early arrival when meeting, and ample preparedness.
Attorney Donovan is professional and extremely good at what he does. He was very efficient in helping me contest my two moving violations, both of which I was found not responsible for. He knows Boston’s courts very well and was able to walk me through exactly what to expect during my hearings. If you’re looking for a seasoned attorney who knows what he’s doing in court I highly recommend him.
Attorney Donovan was nothing but professional. I had come to Patrick a bit over a year ago with a case in which he had helped me win. I was proven innocent of the accused offense. Thanks to the thorough investigation and evidence used to defend me I’m able to say that Patrick definitely reviews his cases carefully case by case. He will recommend the best choices and guide your decisions. If you would like someone who won’t give empty promises this is your man.
Patrick Donovan is the Best!

I hired Attorney Donovan to represent me for a traffic violation I received in May, being a business owner of 35 years, and driving hundreds of miles a day for my clients, it was important for me to maintain my spotless driving record, I take great pride in it. I could not have asked for better representation than attorney Donovan provided, I am certain had I represented myself, I would have been found responsible as I had no intention of using the strategy Patrick used on my day in court. He went in a completely different direction than I was planning, his advice was spot on, his demeanor was incredibly professional, courteous, and never condescending. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my clients, friends or family. He was upfront regarding his rates for my initial hearing, and if my case moved to appeal. I found the entire experience “comforting” if that is possible when entering a courthouse for any reason. Attorney Donovan is obviously very passionate about his work and it shows, thank you.
My experience with Patrick is that he is a true professional and one of the most effective lawyers I have ever come across. When it is go time at court, he is prepared, speaks with a dominant voice, and gets the best results possible for his clients. He is in high demand and is busy but gets back to his clients in a timely manner. I highly recommend Patrick and also recommend him to friends going through any issues.
Attorney Donovan was able to use his experience and expertise to get a great result for me as I appealed my speeding ticket in a local Boston court… I have a poor driving history, especially within the last 3 years, but he was able to focus on facts about me as a human being instead of facts about my driving record, which ultimately led to the Clerk finding me not responsible… I was extremely satisfied with the service and level of professionalism that Attorney Donovan and his practice provided. I will continually recommend to his practice to any friends/family that are in a bind.
Patrick Donovan was fantastic and I’m so thankful that I chose to work with him and that he won my case for me. I got my first speeding ticket on I-90. At the magistrate hearing, my ticket was completely dismissed and wiped from my record. I couldn’t be more appreciative of Patrick’s services and professionalism. Thank you!
I contacted Patrick regarding a speeding violation and he was able to take my case after providing some specifics. When my court date came, he arrived and met with me to discuss questions that might come up. He also discussed plea deals that might come up and if I should take them or not. When the magistrate called my name, he sat with me and told them my circumstances. After listening to his arguement, they dismissed the ticket. Patrick handled it professionally and swiftly. Definitely recommend him!
I had a great experience with Attorney Donovan. He was very encouraging and instilled confidence during our phone conversation. He was early for the magistrate’s hearing and very personable. He kept expectations positive and realistic. We had a great outcome and my ticket was dropped. I highly recommend Patrick Donovan for your representation needs.
Patrick Donovan did a great job in guiding me through the legal process for my speeding citation. He communicated well, was extremely responsive and knowledgeable, and easy to work with. With his background and expertise within the traffic court system he was able to get my speeding ticket completely dismissed. I would strongly recommend using him in any traffic case and will definitely use his services in the future if needed. Overall, it was a smooth and easy process with his help, I told him the story and he took care of the rest. Excellent job Patrick, and thank you again!
Attorney Donovan is very insightful, decisive, and honest. Moreover, when I called him even at late hours, I still receive an immediate respond. Attorney Donovan cares for the client’s needs and works to get the most wanted results. I recommend you to call him now if you find yourself in need of a lawyer.
Attorney Donovan was very helpful in making me feel comfortable. He was very calm and composed in his demeanor and attended my case very diligently. He guided me well along the way to understand the procedures of the court. He put forth great arguments and helped me get away with a speeding ticket with no damages/penalties. I definitely recommend him as your lawyer when faced with speeding tickets.
My experience with Patrick Donovan was great. His knowledge of the legal system was vast, and he knew exactly what to do. Patrick responded quickly to all of my questions, and was always on time. I couldn’t have asked for better results. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for legal representation.
I would highly recommend hiring Patrick Donovan for any traffic violations. The process was fast and efficient. He saved me time, money, stress and prevented my license from being suspended. …More
Attorney Donovan was an excellent help in resolving my case, a speeding citation in the Plymouth county area. I had never gotten a ticket before and due to difficult circumstances with a new job, I had to contact him only days before having to appear in court. Mr. Donovan was quick to respond, informed me of the legal process and our approach to the ticket, and on the day of the hearing everything was concluded quickly, the ticket being waived. I definitely recommend him and will keep him in mind for the future for myself and anyone I know. Thank you!
Attorney Donovan got a traffic related arrest warrant cancelled without any repercussions to my driving record or my insurance. He achieved the best possible result for a very reasonable fee. He handled my case professionally and with care and more importantly, did so with my residing out of the state of Massachusetts. After talking to different lawyers, I chose Mr. Donovan because he did not make too many promises up front and was honest about the possible different outcomes. He explained things simply and with patience, returned my calls promptly, and showed genuine interest in achieving the best possible result. I would recommend him to any of my friends if needed and so I highly recommend his services to anyone else.
I am from Mass and now live out of State. I had some issues that I had to clear up in order to get my License reinstated in my current state. Attorney Donovan was extremely helpful in making me feel comfortable he would be able to help me given my unique situation. He is very thorough and detailed in his information process ensuring “No stone was left unturned” so we had our bases covered when we walked into court. My only regret was I wish I had hired him years ago! Great guy and even better Attorney. Highly recommend using him in any situation.
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.
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.
Last October I received a ticket for driving over the speed limit on interstate 95 in Massachusetts. Patrick was able to negotiate with the judge and achieved a perfect result for me. Patrick was very professional and he kept me informed of the process and was well organized. I was very lucky to have found Patrick and I would highly recommend him.
Called / online live chatted his office 3 times asking for an appointment or consultation. Each time the person told me that the lawyer appropriate for this was busy and would call me back. Took phone and email. Nobody called me back. Then I looked closely at all the yelp/google reviews and they are all single posts by respective people with the exact same text in both places. Looks fishy and can’t verify because they don’t want my business.
I hired Mr. Donovan to represent me on a speeding ticket matter in Quincy in August 2013. It took the Magistrate less than a minute to find me not responsible after listening to Mr. Donovan’s presentation.
At least 25 people were called ahead of me and many of them presented very similar argument to the one I had prepared in my head if I did not have an attorney. The Magistrate still found them responsible. Hiring an attorney does make a difference and Mr. Donovan did the best job that can be done.
Thank you Mr. Donovan.

Wanted to send a note on Patrick’s exemplary service.
I was fighting (what I felt) was an unfair traffic ticket. I hired Patrick to represent me in court and was fortunate to have the ticket taken off my record.
I am so grateful to Patrick for his expertise in helping me resolve this problem. He undoubtedly cares about his clients, understands the legal system, and in doing a great job. This was the first time I ever went to court for a ticket, but I will no doubt turn to Patrick again if the situation ever presents itself, which hopefully, it does not.
Thanks again to Patrick.

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.

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
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.
My Boyfriend and I needed an experienced attorney, we were facing a very confusing and difficult situation and we decided to go with Patrick. His expertise and professional approach to our case not only eventually led to a successful outcome in our case but made the whole process less stressful. I would recommend Patrick to anyone seeking professional counsel from a criminal defense lawyer.
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!

Prior to returning to the Military in 1990, I had some legal issues in the Plymouth District Court that remained open with 5 active criminal warrants for the last 24+ years. I am now 58 years old and have lived in the Tampa Bay area since exiting the Military. Recently and due to modern technology I was not able to renew my Florida Driver’s License until I cleared up my legal issues in Mass. so that my Mass. driving privileges could be restored (Mass. License was suspended for failure to appear). Plus I have been carrying this monkey on my back for so many years and always feared getting pulled over and those old Mass. warrants popping up. I contacted Patrick Donovan’s office the 1st weekend of August 2015. He immediately put the wheels in motion for me. I flew to Mass. the 3rd week of August, walked into court with Mr. Donovan and within 4-hours had all 5 warrants recalled and 4 of the cases dismissed. The 5th case was filed improperly by the Plymouth County Clerk of Court/DA’s office so it had to be set for another date. Mr. Donovan got my appearance requirement waived so I wouldn’t have to spend another $1000 for airfare, hotel and other traveling expenses. On Oct 16th – 2015, that case was also dismissed. A BIG thank you to Patrick. I would also like to comment on the efficient online communication Patrick has set up – very cool and very convenient.
Called Attorney Donovan immediately after being involved in an accident in which I was driving a vehicle without an interlock ignition device. It was 7AM and I left a message with his answering service and never expected a call back, especially not within five minutes. I have 2 OUI’s and was aware of the mandatory jail time associated with driving a vehicle without an interlock device. When he promptly returned my call he was calm, reassuring, and brutally honest while remaining sensitive to the situation and extremely professional. His advice was followed precisely to the very last word. Not only was I not arrested, but I was not given a ticket or summons to appear in court. If not for his rapid response & spot on advice; I would be spending at least the next six months of my life incarcerated.
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.
