Law Offices of Maureen E. Donahue

Maureen E. Donahue

A little about me.  I'm a very proud mother of two adult daughters - one livng in the Providence area and the other in Boston. I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family.

 

I live in central Connecticut but my roots are in the northwest hills of the State where I lived most of my life.  I grew up in South Kent and attended Kent Center School and Housatonic Valley Regional High School.  After high school, I was unsure what to do. I found myself working as a legal secretary and knew that wasn't enough for me.  I studied at night and earned a degree as a Legal Assistant/Paralegal from Mattatuck Community College.  From there I went to Western Connecticut State University where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology.   In 1985 I started at the University of Connecticut School of Law and  I graduated with honors in 1988. I was admitted to practice in the State of Connecticct in 1988 and the Federal court in 1989.

​

Initially I trained and worked at a large firm in Litchfield County.  On February 1, 1996 (27 years ago!) the Law Offices of Maureen Donahue opened its doors out of my home.

​

Outside of the law, I am an avid traveler.  If you don't find me in my office I may very well be as far away as South Korea.  My children and I just got back from a whirlwind adventure in Costa Rica and yes, I did zip line!!!!

​

My newest passion is wine and exploring the creation of it from vine to glass.  I'll keep you updated on this endeavor!

​

I try to stay physically active - although age does bring issues.  I did run a half marathon last May and am currently training for another 10 mile run in April.  Marathon?  I don't know. 

​

Oh then there's those pups!  My Marni (a 6 year old Golden) and  Maya (my 4 year old Golden) keep me busy and sane - or drive me crazy.  You can always find me on the other side of their leash or in my office with me.
