Angelo MacDonald saved my life and I am forever grateful

Angelo MacDonald is possibly the most trustworthy and honest person I have ever met in my life, along with being the most informative and intelligent lawyer in the entire industry. I had dealt with quite a violent case that I got myself into and Angelo got me out of all the charges, with seemingly ve...ry little effort. I believe it is due to the fact that he has so many connections everywhere in the United Staes. He is the greatest lawyer in the world in my personal opinion, no one I would hire over him, and I've been with many lawyers. I highly recommend Angelo, because he will save your life, if it needs saving.

HE SAVED OUR DAUGHTER'S LIFE

I cannot believe it is over 10 yrs since our honor student (NEVER in any legal situation before) daughter, then a college sophomore, was arrested (railroaded) by college (state) police on drug charges. She was meant to be made an example of, and was charged with THREE CLASS A FELONIES. A family frien...d sent us to Angelo McDonald. To say he went above and beyond would be a huge understatement. Beyond his legal experience and expertise, I would be remiss not to point out his caring, thoughtful, manner...doing and saying everything he could to quell the unimaginable fears of us all. He traveled back and forth for several months, out of the city, to multiple hearings. The end result? Everything reduced to the smallest innocuous charge and no record. Plus, the judge in closing statements, praised our daughter, her educational and civic accomplishments, and best wishes and confidence for her future! (She finished college, with honors, and has been teaching H S Spec Ed English for almost five yrs). So when I say Angelo McDonald saved our child's life, it is not ahyperbolic statement. I pray nobody ever be faced with our situation, but if you're ever in need of the best lawyer and PROTECTOR, he is THE MAN.

Highly professional, to the point, and very knowledgeable.

Mr MacDonald has been amazing over the years. He has helped me to get my small business running and has been very patient and accommodating with numerous questions. He is friendly, smart, responsive, competent and have my best interest at heart. He is a five star lawyer, for sure.

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.
