I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Donnelly appointed as my attorney for a very serious federal case I have. From the very 1st time I spoke to him when he gave me his cell phone number and said I can always reach him to our day in court yesterday for my sentencing he has always been available to answer any questions or concerns I have had. I have no prior convictions but my charges are very serious and I was facing 10 years minimum. His vast knowledge of the federal judicial system and his honest, NO BS, NO sugarcoating way on conducting business make him an invaluable attorney to have on your side. He has been handling cases like mine for almost as long as I have been alive and he did his job so well that at my sentencing I felt like even the Attorney General was going to bat for me as much he possibly could so it was almost as if I had two defense attorneys which was amazing. As much as I wanted to hear that I wouldn't have to go to prison, I knew the likeliness of that being the outcome were slim to none. Mr. Donnelly never gave me false hope. He assured from day 1 that he would make sure I received the most minimal of punishment possible and he is a man of his word 100%!! Instead of possibly being away from my daughter and loved ones for 10+ years, I wound up being sentenced 28 months plus I have recommendation for acceptance into RDAP program when incarcerated which will reduce my sentence another year so when all said and done I should not have to be gone more than a year roughly which is beyond amazing!! Not to mention he got the court to agree to 90 day surrender date so I can finish healing from injury I sustained 6 months ago before I have to turn myself in. I am forever grateful for all he has done for me and while I am confident I will never have to have him defend me again (because I have learned my lesson), he would be the 1 and ONLY lawyer I would trust to have on my side! Thanks Paul!

I was referred to Mr. Donnelly through a family member and decided to use his services for my son's case which was ongoing for three years. Mr. Donnelly was very professional and thorough, advising of the best and worst case scenarios. The previous lawyer did absolutely nothing in the case, and ran with the money. Mr. Donnelly stepped in the courtroom and got a five million dollar warrant thrown out and probation terminated within twenty minutes. If you want someone who genuinely is looking out for your best interest, hands down, this man is definitely the one. A burden has been lifted from my son and myself from worry, and he is free!! Soon to be starting a new job. Thank you from the heart Mr. Donnelly.

Paul has been my attorney for several years. I highly recommend him. He has helped myself, family and very close friends numerous times. He tells it like it is no sugar coat and I respect that so much, especially with so many crooks who would rather sell you a dream to make extra money. Prices are very reasonable, guarantee he will take care of you like family.

I’d like to take the time out to acknowledge Paul for his time, patience and energy with my father who was charged by the government in a federal case. They came after him hard. I witnessed Paul fight the government and fight them relentlessly. He beat the government and save my father from being stripped away from my family. He absolutely knows what he is doing in the courtroom and is a great trial lawyer. Paul is a man of his words and doesn’t sugarcoat a thing ! Amazing person and amazing attorney. It was quite a pleasure working with him, I’d mostly definitely recommend him to anyone. Special shoutout to Mindy for being such a spectacular assistant!

I want to take the time to say a heartfelt thank you to Paul for representing my son and moving forward so quickly because time of the essence.  I made Paul aware of the timeline and what we were hoping to achieve.  He quickly jumped in gathering information needed for my son’s case and worked tirelessly to ensure everything was in place for court.  He went to the jail several times to see my son and talk to him face to face advising my son of all the possible scenarios. He was always professional and realistic with me and my son, never sugar coded anything.  I cannot thank Paul enough for his countless hours and attention dedicated to my son’s case.  The State was ruthless, but Paul always kept his cool and pointed out the inconsistencies.   Thank you for your constant communication and dedication.  Thank you for fighting for my son and being victorious in getting him sanction as a Youth offender.  Again, thank you for all you did! We are eternally grateful. May God-bless you and your family.

I hired paul in 2 seperate cases, which in both cases paul and his team did a phenominal job. I was impress of how he kept me inform through out the case provided me his cell phone number and always responded to my questions. I had the pleasure to see Mr Donnelly medigate a criminal case(which turned out in our favor) as well see a motion written by him which was outstanding and finally see him have an evidentuary hearing , where he showed his skills being, articulate, knowledgable, strategic, competent and absolutely strong attorney in the courtroom. I thank Paul for being such an honest attorney, ( which is hard to find ) thank you paul for your outstanding performence.

I hired Paul in a complex federal matter. I had to retain Paul as my previous federal lawyer just dropped the ball in a big way. From the start, Paul was exceptionally responsive to the complex issues and tremendously honest about what can and cannot be done.
How about that, an honest and competent lawyer?!
He was able to promptly resolve the issues in my favor. I could not be more satisfied, and I should have used Paul from day one.
I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who wants a competent, honest, loyal and hard working attorney!!

I was very fortunate to have a boyfriend hire Paul Donnelly. He immediately came to see me and took care of my case step by step. I can honestly say he went above and beyond to get me out of the deep situation that I was in and really worked with my family on the price. I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for him.

I hired Paul Donnelly to defend me in federal case. What I liked about Mr. Donnelly was he is very professional, honest and he gave me great advice. He took care of everything. He defended me and was able to get the case dismissed in the state and federal. I would use him again and would recommend him to others. Thanks again Paul for everything you've done. Sincerely, James

Went to him for what I thought was a complicated matter. He referred me to someone who could handle it easily and despite being available by phone on numerous occasions, did not charge me for his initial advice.
He listened and seemed genuinely interested in helping me. I would recommend him without reservation.

Paul was great from the jump. He gave me a reasonable price on a very serious case. He was professional and efficient. Took all the stress away I would have been happy with a year in jail but I'm home with my family thanks to Paul. NO JAIL TIME. I think he knows magic.

I am very happy with the services of Paul. My case was quite complicated and he knew very well how to handle it. I felt confident with him. He is a great person very familiar with his work no detail escapes him. I had 9 felonies and thanks to his great professional work I finished with one felony and a minimum sentence of probation. I hope to never have problems again but if that were the case I would not hesitate to request his services and I recommend him.

Paul is a legal angel, I have counted on him numerous times over ten years and he has always been an absolute pleasure to work with. A true professional, man of his word that will go out of his way to help. He most recently helped guide my family out of a really really difficult situation and is just an overall great person. I would go out of my way to recommend Paul any day of the year, he is what every lawyer should strive to be.

I retained Paul to represent me in a drug case. He made the best of a very bad situation and I am completely satisfied with his representation. He is both caring and honest in that he always puts the best interests of his client first. Whether it be negotiating a plea deal or going to trail. What ever it takes to get the best possible result for you and he will never make any false false promises. Should you choose to retain Paul you will get the best representation possible.

When I retained Paul he stepped in at a very difficult time in my life. He worked diligently during and after hours to ensure that he was fully prepared in my defense. He was confident and masterful in obtaining the best possible outcome and in getting my life back. There is no way to describe how grateful I am to Paul for all his efforts and the extraordinary outcome. If you need a very experienced criminal lawyer, I recommend Paul Donnelly! Thank you again Paul.

I would totally recommend Mr. Paul Donally to everyone who needs a lawyer in Florida. I was arrested in Miami for using drug, and luckily I found Mr. Donally. He has been working on many different cases over the years and has a lot of experience. He is a very professional lawyer and was always there to help me from day one till the end. Paul has wide connections with the prosecutors and the judges. His assistant is very professional as well and they work in a really nice office. Contact Mr. Donally if you're in trouble, most lawyers' fees are so overpriced, not his! He reduces his price for people and also has payment plan for everyone! Thanks again Paul

Paul truly made this whole experience livable. He is very amicable, straight-forward, and gets the job done! He helps you understand what is going on in your case and what next steps are best to take. I thank him a million times for getting my husband back on track. Paul is definitely my first choice for defense attorney as well as my top recommendation to anyone!

Mr. Donnelly is by far one of the most honest & trustworthy attorneys I have ever met. My brother has been his client for a long time, i finally had a chance to see him in action in court and let me tell you he was spectacular! very straight forward and isn't afraid to fight back. doesn't beat around the bush lets you know exactly where your standing and what the odds are. If I ever need a lawyer I will definitely be giving him a call!!!!

Paul is a great attorney! He put forth maximum effort and helped out our family to the best of his ability. ROC court is very different from the average court room and very tough on the convicted. But he managed to resolve matters in a very professional manner and communicated with us to help my husband get the minimum sentence possible. I highly recommend him as a defense attorney!

Mr. Donnelly and his staff did an amazing job helping me through criminal charges that I was wrongfully accused of. His experience, knowledge, and willingness to represent me in court were outstanding. He kept me updated and informed about my case. I was able to contact him anytime I needed him and he would always get back to me in a timely matter. His ability to explain legal terms clearly helped me understand what was being done. He guided me through the entire process which resulted in me being cleared of any wrong doing. I couldn't ask for a better attorney than Mr. Paul Donnelly. I would highly recommend Mr. Donnelly to friends and family. Mr. Donnelly and staff, Thank you!

I got a DUI February 2015. The smartest thing I did after getting the DUI was call Paul. He listened to my situation and told me the best thing I could do is the “Back on Track Program”. After I completed the Back on Track Program the DUI charge was amended to a reckless driving with a withholding of adjudication, which means I was charged with nothing. DUIs are devastating and the last thing you need is lawyers wasting your time with up sale and bs. IT IS VERY HARD TO BEAT A DUI. Paul is a good HONEST dude that will get you through this horrible situation so you can put this behind you and move forward with your life. Good luck and hope we all take the steps to not put ourselves in this situation again. DUIs take so much from EVERYONE involved.

From the first phone call to the last, Paul and his staff were courteous, professional, and eager to answer any questions. His attention to detail, and ability to explain subject matter clearly and simply, made every step of the legal world easier to digest. Despite surprises along the way, Paul was resolute in his promised goals and delivered fully on his commitments. I couldn't have imagined better Counsel.

Mr. Donnelly was appointed my counselor in a Federal case back in 2010. Even though he was not getting paid enough for such case. His knowledge, experience and willingness to represent his client was outstanding comparing to the other 7 co-defender’s paid counselor. When the time to argue the case, Mr. Donnelly was the first to stood up and to put in practice all his years of education, legal skills, dedication, breadth and depth of experience and knowledge in jurisprudence toward the best interest of his client.

His Integrity and humility were the key qualities to stables a great relationship with my family beyond a professional relationship, making the whole process painless as possible.
I have use Mr. Donnelly’s services in other occasions with great success and I highly recommend Mr. Donnelly for all my friends and family.

I took a chance as there was some wreckage from my past. I called the office after reading some of the other reviews, Paul Donnelly was very helpful, informative and I could tell right away that he knew exactly what needed to happen to make this thing go away. Paul and his staff were on top of the situation right from the very beginning. I felt very at ease with the process. I had contacted a few other places and felt like I was being taken advantage of. Paul Donnelly gave me direct upfront information and within a few days this was no longer a thorn from the past. I would highly recommend Mr. Donnelly to anyone who needs a attorney that is honest, effective and just plain great at what he does!! My family was extremely pleased with his work!! Thank you Mr. Donnelly.

I had violated my probation for the third time with a felony. I hired two lawyers and the end result was they just took my money. I was recommended by a very close friend of mine that was also in a jam to hire Paul J. Donnelly. Hiring Paul was the best thing I did for my case. He is very upfront and honest. Never missed a court date and fought hard for me and the price was very reasonable, flexible with the payments and got me out as well. Thank you so much Paul for your work ethic on my case and getting me out of my jam and giving me the opportunity to start my life over. I truly recommend Mr. Paul Donnelly.

I have known Paul for a number of years, and have had many legal discussions, referred clients, and have come to have great respect and admiration for him. I have seen his work, and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a thoughtful and caring attorney who has their best interests at heart. He is a great guy and a great lawyer who commands much respect.

Paul J Donnelly is really a life saver, he gave me my life back in a short amount of time. He jumps on your case right away and gets it done, also you can call or text him anytime and he will always get back to you in a timely matter. He keeps you updated and informed about your case. He provides a peace of mind when u have it the least. I was face with three serious charges and Paul took care of it FAST (didn't even see the court room). He is a Real funny guy LOL that you can be completely honest with. Payment options are available. Well worth my freedom. Thanks a lot Mr. Donnelly.

I can not tell everyone who might need a criminal attorney in their lifetime how impressed I was with Paul Donnelly. I found his name searching on google and am so grateful he returned my call. He is so easy to reach and called me after normal business hours and on the weekend which is totally unheard of in todays world. I had been a victim of a fraudulent act by someone who extorted money from me. I retained Paul to pursue all legal avenues to recover my lost money. Paul is very bright and gathered the facts quickly and recovered my money in a timely fashion .I would recommend Paul to anyone in the future. I am a professional business man in the community and am rarely impressed by someone to the point of writing a review/recommendation . Thank you again Paul! Sincerely,Mark

Paul came into my life when everything was tumbling down at me.
At the time of my crisis with the feds I thought the nightmare was unrepairable...
I couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel. 
He represented me on two different indictments which he was able to run them concurrent. 
This man is a honest, loyal, understanding and most importantly a dedicated lawyer.
He will not promised you the world since he doesn't have a crystal ball to tell you the future but he will fight for you and be at the ring side and never ever leave you alone.
Paul Donnelly you are number one and I will always be in debt with you...
I owe you my life and my freedom God bless you and your family...
