Mr. Donahue did a wonderful job. He thoroughly explained the issues with my business and gave me options alerting me to the possible expense associated with each. He delivered what he promised and I was pleased with the outcome. I would use him again.

I found Larry by finding one of his well-written articles on forming an anonymous LLs. His website and team made everything easy, it was an extremely professional experience, and I will be using this service again in the future. Larry was always responsive if I had a question, and I had a lot of questions. His team was fast and efficient in getting everything done correctly the first time. If your goal is to form an LLC, check out their webiste.

I learned about Larry by seeing one of his videos on line. I was impressed that a lawyer would take the time to share so much information for free. I was even more surprised when I was connected to him when I called the L4SB office. He was helpful, he gave me specific advice and then the paralegals did a great job with the paperwork around my issue. I would use him again and I would recommend him to others.

Larry Donahue was difficult to work with, disingenuous, impatient, and expensive. He comes off very arrogant and know-it-all with a hint of rage or anger underneath the surface. I'd never want this man to represent me in court if anything ever went to trial. The contract work he did for my family business had to be redone after a lawsuit arising out of the way the contract was structured. Fortunately, I found a much more seasoned attorney who saved the day. But it was painful.

I'm sorry for your experience. I cannot ascertain whether you are really a client or not. It's very rare, but if a client will not spend the time or effort for an effective contract, I guess I can sound negative trying to warn of the potential problems.

Mr Donahue was a nightmare to work with. He took a lot longer to review the information we spent hours compiling for him. His attitude was incredibly condescending. When he finished with our case, he left everything in disarray. We had to start all over and file an appeal to correct the mistakes of Laurence Donahue. An expensive mistake we will never make again. We then received an email offering us a discount of $100 off our massive bill if we would leave reviews on various lawyer review websites. This felt very disingenuine because Mr Donahue clearly overcharged us. At $300 an hour all you had to do is pad the bill for 20 minutes of time doing nothing to get his $100 back. Not only did it have insult to injury but it also felt highly manipulated. The cost to fix the mess created by Mr Donahue and his attitude problem (really over the top condescending and self-righteous), was massive. I wouldn't recommend him for anything.

Larry Donahue mishandled our family's small business matter to the point where we lost tens of thousands of dollars just by following his advice. Our experience was similar to what some of the others have stated in their reviews here and in other places: an almost condescending attitude. It's taken us several years including through the pandemic to begin to recover from this mess. My sincerest hope is that Mr. Donahue begins to take this honest feedback to heart and cleans up his practice because this has been a nightmare to untangle and fix. It didn't have t be this way. Fortunately, we found an honest caring lawyer who worked pro bono because he felt bad about how we were treated by someone in his profession, and to resolve the mess done by Mr. Donahue and his office.

Mr. Donahue owns a company called Healing Homes of Boston though he's located all the way in NM. This company has quite the scam going on where they rent units to people then have them robbed while they sleep, refund them while keeping one night and cancelling the reservation so we can't leave reviews. He plays and milks the system getting a lot more from stealing than they do from renting the units. Stay far away from this hack.

I own no such company. You are not a client. I suspect you're referring to a company we may have setup (i.e. I could be listed as an organizer), but I have no power over such a company. My firm literally sets up thousands of companies all across the US.

Sorry you feel this way. You ordered on 1/9. We've been trying to get correct info from you. You're trying to use names and address that violate USPS Form 1583 and state legal requirements. I'm sorry you think we're lying. We're refunding. Good luck.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
