What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Donoghue Solicitors appears repeatedly in accounts from clients pursuing civil claims, particularly actions against the police and matters involving wrongful arrest. Named individuals feature prominently, with Kemmi, Kevin, Daniel and Chloe Cuthbert each described as professional, approachable and skilled at guiding people through complex litigation. A recurring observation concerns communication: clients say they were kept informed at every stage, received clear explanations of their options and felt their expectations were managed sensibly during what many describe as stressful and drawn-out proceedings.

Thorough preparation and meticulous attention to detail are also mentioned often, as is the patience shown when setting out risks and likely outcomes in straightforward language. The outcomes themselves attract praise, with settlements secured in claims concerning police conduct and unlawful detention. Reviewers also value the kindness and reassurance they encountered alongside the legal work, and several note that instructing a solicitor for the first time proved less daunting than anticipated because of the support received. The firm's handling of litigation against public authorities remains the theme running through most of these accounts.

I cannot recommend Donoghue Solicitors highly enough. They successfully represented me in a claim against the police following a wrongful arrest and secured a settlement of £15,000 on my behalf. From start to finish, the service was exceptional. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and always kept me informed throughout the process. Taking on my case under a no win, no fee agreement gave me the confidence to pursue justice, and their hard work ultimately delivered a fantastic result. I would like to give a special mention to Jack Hudson, who handled my case with professionalism, dedication, and genuine care. Jack was always approachable, patient, and willing to answer any questions I had. He provided clear advice at every stage and worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. His expertise and commitment made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier to navigate. Thanks to Jack and the entire team at Donoghue Solicitors, I felt supported every step of the way and achieved a result that exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for solicitors with expertise in actions against the police, I would not hesitate to recommend Donoghue Solicitors. Thank you again, Jack and the team, for your outstanding work and for helping me secure the justice I deserved

I would highly recommend Donoghue Solicitors. From my initial contact with Kevin Donoghue through to the successful conclusion of my case, he has been both professional and understanding, and I could not recommend Donoghue Solicitors more highly.

I honestly can’t recommend Kevin enough. I’ve known him for a while now due to my case, and throughout that time he has been consistently professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive. From the very beginning, he took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I fully understood my options, which really helped ease a lot of stress during what has been a very difficult and ongoing situation. He is highly experienced in litigation and it really shows in the way he handles matters always calm and thorough. I also want to mention his team, who have been just as helpful and professional throughout. They are always polite, responsive, and organised, and communication has been smooth the whole way through with regular updates. What really stands out is his dedication he goes above and beyond, not just doing his job but genuinely caring about the outcome and making sure everything is handled properly and fairly. I’m very grateful for all the support and guidance I’ve received over the years and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and his team to anyone needing someone reliable, trustworthy, and very capable. Thank you for delivering what you promised x

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Donoghue solicitors, Kevin has gone above and beyond to get me what I deserved! He treated me with kindness and respect with such a sensitive case, he kept me updated and put me at ease all the way through.
