My Lawyer for Life!!

I had never been in a car accident before, so when i was rear ended by a delivery truck on my way home from work, i was horrified! Not only was i hurt, my head had hit the steering wheel and a huge cut on my forehead, but i was also scared! I didn't have a lawyer so a friend recommended William MacD...onald and I called him right away. He met me at my house after i returned from the Emergency Room. I had no clue what to do, how the law worked, who was going to pay my bills?? Atty MacDonald assured me that he and his staff would take care of everything and all i needed to do was concentrate on getting better. So that's what I did, I went to my therapy appointments and slowly got better. Atty MacDonald checked in on me and his staff was so kind and caring. My bills were paid, my car was fixed and i was compensated very nicely for the scar on my face that i now have for the rest of my life. All thanks to MacDonald Law Offices, they made it easy for me but i know they worked hard fighting with insurance companies and doing what good lawyers do. I couldn't be more grateful to him and his team. I recommend MacDonald Law Offices to anyone in need of a excellent Lawyer. I hope i never get into a car accident again, but if i do, i know who to call!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
