Don't go it alone!

MacDonald Law came highly recommended by multiple friends who have navigated divorce and/or family law cases alongside Corey and team. Working with MacDonald Law also turned out to be the right choice for me, and ultimately the best decision I could have made for my family's future. They worked exper...tly and tirelessly on my behalf, and quite honestly, completely altered my perception of lawyers and law offices. I am forever grateful to Corey and team -- they made a difficult and stressful time in my life much easier and it was worth every penny.

Great attorney

After using a handful of attorneys that let me down in the past, I was lucky enough to finally be referred to Corey MacDonald. He was easy to work with and very knowledgeable. He reviewed my case, and after speaking with him about everything, I felt that I could trust him to represent me. Corey's fir...m handled all the paperwork/filing , and answered any questions I had. But most importantly, He kept his word, and fought for me in the courtroom. In the past i have used lawyers that promise to work hard in the courtroom and do their best. But when we actually appeared in court, it was not the case. They often did not follow the plan that was discussed. They forget to bring up important information. And just generally seemed unprepared. With Corey it was the first time I had an attorney that cared and came prepared for the courtroom appearance. He presented my case and all the facts, as we discussed leading up to the hearing. Corey went out of his way to present my case and clear the record against any misinformation that was presented against me by the opposing counsel. He is very confident and professional, and the information that he presented was well received by the judge. I would definitely recommend Corey to any parent that needs legal representation.

Above and Beyond

In every profession you have those that are good at what they do, and those that are not. Attorneys are no different. Once and awhile you come across someone that leaves an impression, Corey MacDonald did that for me. He came highly recommended, and did not disappoint.After 2 different attorneys qu...it on me during my divorce, I was representing myself. I received a last minute notice for a hearing I was not ready for. I called his office on Friday of a holiday weekend, when it was technically closed, and left a message. When he called me back a few minutes later because my message" sounded urgent" I knew I found the right person. He did me a huge favor and was able to represent me in Family court last minute notice and no time to prepare. ( I wouldnt recommended waiting last second) With his knowledge of the law, keen perception and being a natural litigator , he was able to take the information he needed about my case ( 3 years and 6 months worth)put together a plan and represent me flawlessly. His comfort in the courtroom was impressive and allowed me to be at ease. The results were extraordinary. He not only turned the situation around, but helped put the whole case on the right track. I understand attorneys cant guarantee results in court , but had my results not gone as well, I could still say that Corey Macdonald had done everything possible in that courtroom. before and after, he went above and beyond. A gentleman, polite and funny. He is genuine , caring and competent. My only regret is I didnt know of him when my case started

Would highly recommend!

I have hired Corey on two separate occasions and each time he did not let me down. During times of extreme stress Corey was always there to help and answer any questions big or small very effectively. He has been there through the aftermath and I would recommend anyone hire Corey in a time of need.
