Highly recommended

Kathleen has been my attorney a few times. She has been more than helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her because she will fight for you until the end of the case and doesn't give up. She has always been there for me when I needed advice and called me back promptly. Family ...court can be very stressful, Kathleen finds a way to make you feel at ease.

child custody matter

We we're assigned Mrs.Mcdondald to represent me is my child custody case since day one she has shown no interest in what I wanted and what I thought was best. She constantly lied to me durning the entire court matter. She never call, texts or emails her clients back. She always lies about why she d...oesn't get back to you. She refused to let the children's lawyer talk to me I asked her multiple times I want to speak with them she said he doesn't want to speak with which come to find out was a lie. She is the worst lawyer! If you are going through a court case and want to see your children in the process my advice DON'T HIRE HER!!! I can't stress that enough!!!

Excellent representation

Ms Mc Donald was extremly helpful in my family court case.Ms Mc Donald knew the laws and history of our case...other "volunteer" lawyers attourneys we not as knowledgeable about family court laws..not so w Ms Mc Donald. . As a low income individual, I have dreaded situations where the specialty of t...he atty was not family court laws and nuances. Ms McDonals is exclusivly Family Court. is thourough and attentive to important details- and knows and challenges deciet and untruths I would reccomend her to anyone seeking good council

Unprofessional/ Unresponsive Law Gardian

Ms. McDonald was appointed to my child custody case. She showed no interest in what was best for my child and placed my child in the hands of my ex husband who has an extensive criminal background, and substance abuse problem. When I presented legally binding court documentation to Ms. McDonald ,she... chose to overlook this, but instead sided with my ex who only had accusations. While I past all my evaluations , and my ex failed, Ms.McDonald still chose to keep my child in his fathers care. Never once did Ms. McDonald show any interest in getting to know me, yet appeared very chummy with my ex. I advise that NO ONE hires this woman! I can not stress enough how unresponsive this woman has been to any of my concerns and what was best for my child.
