ATTORNEYS

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 Plymouth. 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 Connecticut in 1988 and the Federal court in 1989.

Initially I trained and worked at a firm in Litchfield County. On February 1, 1996 (29 years ago!) the Law Offices of Maureen Donahue opened its doors and has continuously operated out of various locations. We are not fully virtual without a brick and mortar location but that doesn't stop me - we can meet at the courthouse, at the library, there are so many options.

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 daughters and I just booked a Gorilla Trek in Uganda. Always a new adventure.

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

Oh then there's those pups! My Marni (a 9 year old Golden) and Maya (my 7 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.
