Very helpful in giving me information and directing me to the right people even though I couldn't afford them. They are very helpful and knowledgeable about my case. I would hire them in a instant. If I was making more money. I would recommend them to anyone. That need help specially DUI's.

I have called this practice to schedule a consultancy. I wanted to go to trial directly. One day before scheduled time I received a call from their office they want to make sure that I would pay them retainer upfront. I assured them I'll do that. On the day of appointment, I was waiting for the attorney's call for around 20 minutes. Then I called their office and they connected me with a very rude attorney named Nathan(I guess). He didn't give me any consultancy and his focus was that I would pay the retainer upfront then they will talk to me further. Very poor judgement on their end that I might not be able to pay them since I had applied for public defender in the past. He said his name so rudely that I just guessed what it was. The appointment was on Feb. 13, 2025 from 10:30 to 11:00. I called them around 10:50 that I didn’t receive any call. I hired another reasonable attorney in my area in the same price they were quoting. I won't recommend this practice.

Caleb and Tanya were great to deal with. Answered all my questions. Was on top of everything and guided me all the way. My case was kind of lengthy but at the end of it all ended up with no felonies and diversion completed. Can’t thank you guys enough for representing me. Highly recommend this firm!

I am writing this review to share my deeply disappointing and i believe harmful experience with Donahue Law Firm, specifically with their attorney, Audra. In February 2023, I hired the firm to represent me in a sensitive case involving a Tier 2 sex offender seeking access to minor children while on parole with the state of Oregon. Unfortunately, after nearly two years, I did not achieve an outcome that I believe was in the best interest of my children. Here is a summary of my concerns: 1. Failure to Request a Venue Change: Despite my repeated requests for a venue transfer, which I felt was a critical step due to logistical challenges and scheduling conflicts over the two-year period, the firm did not act on this. In my opinion, this decision—or lack thereof—had a significant impact on the case's outcome. 2. Missed Opportunities to Present Key Facts: I provided the firm with documentation, including police reports, criminal records, and state-recommended parenting plans, which I believed were highly relevant to the case. Unfortunately, these were not presented during the hearing, despite my understanding that they would be. This omission left me feeling unrepresented and unprepared in court. 3. Negligence in Addressing Child Support Issues: I experienced challenges with child support enforcement that I brought to the firm’s attention, including unpaid amounts and documentation of changes in financial circumstances. Instead of resolving these issues, the final order incorrectly lowered the support amount, due to missing facts that I believe were a responsibility of Donahue as I provided them early on. 4. Weak Representation and Lack of Strategy: I felt the firm’s approach to my case lacked thorough preparation and effective cross-examination. There were moments where I expected stronger counterarguments or more pointed questioning, which I believe could have strengthened my case. Instead, their responses seemed unprepared and overly reliant on vague explanations. 5. Poor Communication and Record-Keeping: After noticing discrepancies and delays, I filed a formal complaint with the firm, seeking clarity and resolution. I followed up multiple times, but weeks went by without resolution. This left me questioning the firm’s communication practices and organizational standards, which I feel were inadequate for handling a case of this complexity. 6. Unprofessional Withdrawal: After I shared my dissatisfaction with their services in a public forum, the firm chose to withdraw from my pending case. While they are entitled to make this decision, it felt like a punitive response rather than an effort to address the legitimate concerns I raised directly with their office prior. 7. Failure to Cite Relevant Legal References: Throughout the process, I noticed a lack of reference to applicable Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) that could have supported my claims. This gave me the impression that my case was not being advocated for as effectively as I had hoped. While this is my personal perspective, my experience with Donahue Law Firm left me feeling deeply dissatisfied. I believe their lack of preparation, communication, and follow-through has had lasting consequences for my family. If you are considering this firm, I would recommend carefully evaluating your options and seeking alternative representation.
