James J. McDonald

I had a nightmare of a purchasing situation . An estate sale with 3 siblings in different states with strong emotional ties to the house for sale. They hired the cheapest and laziest lawyer in the state to handle the sale. There was asbestos, non working plumbing, a questionable oil tank disposal, w...ater damage and nobody alive who could answer questions ( about a lovely house.) We hired Jim, who saw us through the whole thing with confidence and calm. There was a lot of money at stake and Jim made sure we got a solid and great resolution to the whole deal. We got a very fair deal - Jim made sure our interests were represented across multiple issues. It was extremely time consuming - but he got us to conclusion . When I think of the closing of our house, I smile when I remember Jim's competent hands guiding the process. I would hire him again in a minute for anything important, as I completely trust his competence, his knowledge, and his professionalism. If you want a calm and completely competent ( and aggressive where needed) and ethical hard working lawyer to see you through your house closing, you will be happy working with Jim McDonald.
