About The Donahey Law Firm

“BEST LAW FIRMS U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT, SUPER LAWYERS, MILLION DOLLAR ADVOCATES FORUM, NATIONAL TRIAL LAWYERS TOP 100”

Richard S. Donahey has been practicing law since 1968 and has practiced exclusively in the areas of personal injury, and products liability law. We have never represented insurance companies! In recent years, we have obtained some of the largest verdicts in Central Ohio Courts. We have purposely remained small in order to concentrate on a limited number of cases. We have several offices and will handle cases in any part of the state of Ohio and Kentucky.

Personal Injury Lawsuit Verdicts & Settlements

At the Donahey Law Firm, our lawyers are proud of the personal injury lawsuit verdicts and accident settlements we have achieved on behalf of our clients throughout Ohio. Here are some of the results we have achieved for our clients:

Railroad Crossing Accident - $11,500,000 Verdict - Plaintiff suffered a traumatic brain injury due to defendant railroad's negligence.

Attorney Evans did a fantastic job with my personal injury/ automobile crash case. He did a great job explaining how each process was going to go and what to expect. He successfully settled the case and set realistic expectations. Thanks for all the hard work you put into my case.

When life happens having a reliable, knowledgeable, incredibly competent professional in your corner makes all the difference in the world. Gordon and his staff answered every question, always communicated promptly and concisely, and made this difficult journey easier to bear. Kind and compassionate care coupled with the determination to fight for justice is a rare combination, I'm happy to have him on my side. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for the best.

Working alongside Gordon on my case was a positive experience from beginning to successful end. This lawyer made the process streamlined and easy; he communicated everything to me in a timely manner and explained each step and stage as we proceeded. Even during a pandemic, Gordon was working on the case and communicated without delay and without leaving me hanging, even offering phone conferencing and computer conferencing options for my safety and comfort. I felt supported and heard throughout the entire process. I’m pleased with the outcome, but am truly grateful for Gordon and his firm for solid & stellar representation. I have no reservations recommending Gordon as a lawyer or their law firm to others. Quality service and care.
