Excellent Team McDonalds Disability

Since day one this firm, especially Kristi kept me informed on what is happening. Thank you team for your immaculate effort. I won my disability! Thank you!

Disability

The staff at his office were very helpful and prompt returning answers to my questions. I was skeptical at first getting an attorney but McDonalds team walked me through the things I needed to do. Thank you Colleen and McDonald law firm for the successful help in my case, and I will pass you on to wh...oever asks for an attorney

Horrible at Communication

Hired this firm to represent me on a disability case. I am near retirement. After working almost 40 years, I no longer can. I have limited understanding of the process. I have always worked. They were fast and efficient in the beginning, but practically no communication after. Received the occa...sional email that no decision has been made. This is understandable as it is not up to them. My complaint is after my denial of initial application. Their complete lack of communication and silence about my options, if any, is frustrating. Hire them if you enjoy being left without correspondence.

I am very sorry to read this review and can assure you that client communication is a top priority with my team. We attempt to reach our clients at least every 45 days with status updates via calls, texts and/or emails. I take your review very seriously and request that you please reach out to Tracy Doughty, our Director of Case Management so that we may address all of your frustrations. Unfortunately I am not able to locate you in our system based on only your first time.

Best Choice I’ve Ever Made

McDonald law firm was with me from day one of filling out paperwork for my Social Security application to the very end. We didn’t get as much as I thought we would get which gave them only a very small portion of my settlement not enough money for the amount of work time and years into my case and my... issues at hand. And how caring my case worker and my lawyer were from start to finish and they never treated me like I was less than them even tho I was homeless for the most part till I found out I was terminally I’ll when we were arwarded the winnings I didn’t believe it was fare how lil amount they got so I called and tried to give more money which they refused. I would recommend and have to several people McDonald law firm and no other. Thank y’all for not onlying fighting for me but truly caring about me .

Poor communication

I hired them over a yr ago. Lack of communication is awful. There is a girl by the name of Cristell and she is so bad. She doesn’t respond. Lawyers forget we are the ones to hired them. Now to fire this one.
