NAME: Veronica Donovan
Veronica Donovan grew up in the violent Fuller Park
neighborhood in Chicago’s South Side.
Despite dating youthful offender Lincoln Burrows all
throughout high school, Donovan never let the street
life seduce her. An over-achiever, she received a
full academic scholarship to the University of
Illinois in Champaign where she graduated with a
B.A. in political science, then went on to earn her
juris doctorate from Baylor Law School.
After graduating from Baylor, Donovan moved back to
Chicago to practice real estate law at the offices
of Bianchi and Guthrie.
Despite her success, Donovan never forgot her roots.
Although she had no experience in criminal law, she
recently defended childhood friend Michael Scofield
against a charge of armed robbery after he refused
the assistance of all court appointed attorneys.
Donovan is currently working with Nick Savrinn in an
attempt to exonerate Lincoln Burrows of first degree
murder charges.
