I went through at least three different lawyers at Donahue Law firm during the process. It was hard to speak directly with my lawyer when I called for updates. They failed many times to call me back when I left messages. This included a 6+ month long span around late 2023 to early 2024. I finally had to write a letter before I got a response. The excuse what that an intern or a secretary was not passing along messages and they had been reprimanded. It felt like whichever lawyer was handling my case at each specific time were putting in the bare minimum effort. During the actual hearing things felt rushed and witnesses on my behalf were excluded from giving their testimony due to time constraints set by the PSRB. I would have liked the lawyer to have addressed this beyond stating that their written letters on my behalf would be sufficient. Also during the hearing it seemed a lot of questions were not asked by my lawyer and I would have expected an objection or two on my behalf. Prices on services seemed to come in at random and would be added onto without much explanation. Specifically I believe I was at first told the examiner in my case would cost $3,000 which I paid. Then it jumped up another $2,000 which I was barely able to cover. All told I was into everything around $10,000. Lastly after the matter was settled and I received the acknowledgment letter from the PSRB I turned it over to Donahue Law firm expecting to begin the appeal process. Instead I got two weeks of radio silence and when I finally got through the secretary informed me that they don't do appeals. I was directed to a webpage to fill out a form to start the appeal myself. This specific form required a lawyer acting on my behalf so it wasn't any help. I was also given the number of an appellate lawyer based in Portland who had no interest in my case. Along with the delays from the PSRB and Donahue Law firm I have been in a time crunch and thus scrambling to find a new lawyer. I will miss the 60 day deadline to file for my immediate appeal. So now I'm looking at two years before I can appeal.

I am writing this review to share my deeply disappointing and i believe harmful experience with…read moreDonahue 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. Edited: also worth noting their yelp reviews stand at a 3.7 currently.
