Excellent

Ms. McDonnell helped me with my bankruptcy case, and she put me at ease with her pleasant voice. She made it easy for me to answer her questions by phone and mail. I would recommend Ms.McDonnell to anyone looking for a competent bankruptcy lawyer. My case was successfully closed for my debt, she too...k a big burden off my back!

Great Attorney!!!

Jaclynn really helped us through the whole bankruptcy process. She was knowledgeable and handled our case flawlessly! Jaclynn and her Paralegal Kate were always available and never made us feel like we weren't their priority.

Jaclynn McDonnell review

Ms. McDonnell filed a bankruptcy case for me. She was there every step of the way, answering all of my questions and explaining the process from start to finish. I highly recommend her. She was professional and kind, If she's not careful she just might give lawyers a good name!

Five Stars is Just Not Enough

I assumed that going through bankruptcy was going to create a lot of stress in my life - more than I was already experiencing due to all of the debt that I accumulated due to illness and a relocation. But, I have to say, once I got through providing all of the necessary statements and other pertinen...t information to Jaclynn, nothing has been easier. I immediately felt confident during our first meeting that she would handle all of the details associated with the filing and I knew she would be prepared on the day I would meet the Trustee. My perception was completely accurate. Once we were called by the Trustee, we were out in less than five minutes because she was prepared with every document that was requested - unlike some others that were having difficulty. What I appreciate most about Jaclynn is that she is calm, collected, lighthearted and highly efficient. I recommend Jaclynn McDonnell with confidence - her level of professionalism and efficiency is really what you're looking for in an attorney.

Knowledgeable and Supportive

Ms. McDonnell was able to explain the entire bankruptcy process to me without making things more stressful. She made a very difficult time in life that much easier by taking care of not only the legal paperwork but by checking in, reminding us of deadlines and just being a positive voice in the room.... A great professional my family and I were very happy to be referred to. Highly recommend.

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.
