Capital District Criminal Defense Attorney

Brian E. Donohue, Criminal Defense Attorney

I'm Brian Donohue. I've been practicing law for over 25 years in Troy. I graduated from Albany Law School in 1983 and was admitted to the bar in 1984. Having handled over 3,000 cases in State, Federal and local courts in Rensselaer, Albany, Saratoga, Schenectady, Columbia, Greene, Fulton, Montgomery, and Dutchess Counties and elsewhere, I have a wealth of experience, particularly in defending criminal cases. If you're considering having me represent you or a loved one, this website has some important information which will help in making that very important decision about selecting an attorney.

I'll be very honest with you. Criminal law, to me, is the most interesting and challenging area of the law, by far. Why should that matter to you? Because in all human endeavors, people are at their best when they are doing something that interests them and challenges them. I'm like anyone else. If I take your case, you can be certain that you've retained a lawyer who will do his very best for you. And I have a record of success which shows that the lawyer you have chosen will defend you aggressively, using the skills derived from over a quarter-century defending people charged with serious crimes.

Experience in all phases of criminal defense

I have represented clients in virtually every type of criminal case there is in our court systems. I have obtained acquittals - not guilty verdicts - in the following types of cases:

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome, of course. But they do indicate an attorney's dedication and commitment to provide the highest level of skill which will be exercised on the client's behalf. I invite you to discover more about the quality representation you will receive if you choose to retain me for your case.
