Not a real attorney

I was acquaintances with this guy and hired him for that reason. You can't take this guy seriously. First off, being a lawyer is just a side gig for him, he's not a full-time lawyer. My initial consultation with him was at his house where he poured himself a couple alcoholic beverages. He's all t...alk and no action. During my divorce, he was supposed to be present when I picked up my belongings from my ex's house. That day, I called him only to find out he was in another state. Was very embarrassing because my ex asked why he wasn't there. He doesn't listen, he just talks over you. Phone calls aren't returned until days later. When I finally fired him, my new lawyer confirmed that none of the things he claimed to have done were completed. So he was lying all the while telling me "the other lawyer is stalling". I told him how unhappy I was and that I wanted my money back because he never actually did anything. He promised to get back to me so he could "make things right". Of course, I never heard from him, which I had anticipated knowing how scatterbrained he is ...

BEST ATTORNEY EVER!!!

ATTORNEY MACDONALD IS THE NICES CARING MAN I HAVE EVER MEET. After over 300 hundred times, I had to go to family court on my own being abused with my 2 minutes in front of a judge and my ex having her friend who was her attorney lie ,cheat and steal from me. With judgments that should have never be...en put on me. 3 years of this abuse. Mr Macdonald tried so hard to mediat between the two parties. With no resolve. I guess Mr Macdonald being a lawyer with compassion for both sides and there families. Just couldn't get any where with them. So we went to trial. I was trying to get him to bring up all the injustices I have had over the years. But ATTORNEY MACDONALD had his own plan in play. And all that pain and suffering me and my children had to endur for years was over. We won. But nobody really wins because the children are the ones who suffer. And by the grace of God I had a judge that truly cares about family. And the best day lawyer I ever meet. I wish I had hired him years before. And for all the negative feed back left on here, with out a doubt we're on Mr Macdonald receiving end !!
