Brian E. Donohue



At the firm of Brian E. Donohue, Attorney at Law, we defend people accused of serious felony and misdemeanor crimes.

Brian E. Donohue has practiced law — concentrating in criminal defense — for 25 years. During that time, he has achieved a record of success in many challenging and difficult cases.

The Advantages of Experience

Experience makes a difference in every endeavor, especially so in the field of criminal defense.

Brian E. Donohue brings these strengths to his practice:

Superior case analysis skills — Mr. Donohue carefully analyzes all of the factual and legal issues in a case. He considers every possible defense strategy.

A remarkable acquittal rate — He has obtained acquittals - "not guilty" verdicts - in 71 percent of the cases he has taken to trial. By comparison, in New York State criminal courts excluding those in New York City, only 23 percent of trials ended in acquittals.

Strong courtroom skills — Mr. Donohue has a strong courtroom presence. He has gone to trial in virtually every type of criminal case in his career.

Mastery of procedure and the rules of evidence — Brian E. Donohue uses every available legal tool to exclude evidence that has been improperly obtained. His 25 years of experience in virtually every criminal courtroom in the Capital District ensures that the rules of criminal procedure and rules of evidence are best used to his client’s advantage.

Experience at reasonable rates — Knowledge and skill gained from his long years of experience enables Mr. Donohue to quickly grasp the essential elements of a case. Rather than basing fees on arbitrary factors, his fees reflect the amount of work a case is expected to require. You get the benefit of experience at a reasonable cost.

Troy, New York, DWI Defense Attorney

A conviction for DWI has serious consequences. You will pay a hefty fine and sharply higher insurance rates; your driver’s license will be suspended or revoked. You may lose your job or even go to jail.

If you are facing these consequences because of an arrest for driving while intoxicated, driving while ability impaired by alcohol, or driving while ability impaired by drugs, you need effective representation. Nothing less will do.

At the firm of Brian E. Donohue, Attorney at Law, we believe everyone accused of a crime deserves the strongest defense possible. We have represented thousands of clients in cases involving DWI charges and other serious misdemeanors and felonies.

We will work to defend your rights and preserve your driving privileges and your freedom.

Call (877) 234-9157 to schedule a consultation.

An arrest for DWI starts two legal proceedings: a hearing on the criminal charge and an administrative procedure which could lead to the loss of your driver’s license. Brian E. Donohue will provide strong and effective representation in both.

Successful DWI Defense Strategies

Even if the results of your blood alcohol (Breathalyser) test were over the legal limit, there may still be a potentially winning legal strategy in your case.

Mr. Donohue will evaluate whether the police had probable cause to stop your vehicle and continue the investigation, and whether mistakes were made when administering the field sobriety tests. His efforts may demonstrate that the Breathalyser exam at the police station was improperly conducted and thus inadmissible in court. If it appears that trying your case is too risky, every effort will be made to have your charges reduced to less serious charges with less severe penalties.

We Take Tough Cases

The firm of Brian E. Donohue, Attorney at Law, represents clients in all types of DWI cases, including first-time drunk driving charges, driving while ability impaired by drugs (DWAID), aggravated DWI, vehicular homicide, and second-, third- and fourth-time offenses.

Brian E. Donohue has succeeded in numerous challenging cases and has obtained acquittals in 71 percent of those he has taken to trial. We are ready and willing to take the tough cases, and will defend you with energy and determination.
