In my younger years I spent a lot of time in bar-rooms, and loved every minute of it. I went to college in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and there was a tavern on every corner. Beer was cheap too. Fortunately there came a time when my life didn’t involve around the bar scene. This coincided with the [...]

Lots of folks prefer to treat with a chiropractor, and there’s a lot to be said for hands-on treatment, as opposed to medication or just letting time take its course. Injury victims suffering from “whiplash” tend to get good results from chiropractic care, and there are various types of chiropractic treatment, depending on the chiropractor. [...]

Half-life is something I thought about today. I’m not talking about the scientific or biological half-life, which is basically the rate of decay, or the amount of time it takes for half a given substance to decay, be it a few seconds or a million years. I’m referring to a conversation I had with some [...]

This morning I was notified that I was rated Top 150 Best Attorneys in New England for 2009. Every year a survey company, Market Surveys of America, furnishes BBA, Best Businesses of America with the results of its work. I am happy to report the results of the survey, and thank all those who voted [...]

Be careful of: Ocella/ Yasmin / Yaz ( not Carl Yastremski, former Red Sox great called “Yaz”). These birth control pills have potential life-threatening side effects. Some women have been seriously injured with blood clots in the legs and lungs. Others had strokes. The drug company is aware of these dangers, so should you. Keep [...]

All lawyers are duty-bound to keep their client’s information confidential, unless the client authorizes disclosure. Clients need to be able to talk freely with their [...]

I’m not a fan of Reverend Al Sharpton. Over the years he’s been known to shoot off his mouth on many racially motivated subjects, and law suits. Today I got an email from a friend that’s been circulating around the internet. It purports to contain quotes from Rev Sharpton on the Tiger Woods affair. Supposedly, [...]

I’m not the most politically correct fellow you’ll ever meet. In fact, I pride myself on saying I joke about all ethnic groups equally. I enjoy a good Irish joke, too, and with a name like Donahue you know where I’m coming from. I’d like to tell you a little story that got me thinking [...]

Ok, I’m an injury lawyer in New Hampshire; that’s how I make my living. But I’m an avid sports fan, and living in New England I follow closely the Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics, and Patriots. We’ve had many heart-breaking and lean years, so it’s nice to be part of championship years. I’m a little tired [...]

I had a feeling it would happen after I wrote my blog on the insurance company screwing injury victims. Sure enough a friend of mine who works for a big insurance company took offense. I knew he would. He’s used to me, however, and we’ve had these kind of discussions before. It has never been [...]
