very professional

Spoke to Mr. MacGregor briefly about a medical malpractice case. Mr. Macgregor was a complete professional and helped me with my issue.

Personal Injury case from automobile accident

Malcolm handled my personal injury case from an automobile accident several years ago (2010). He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and well versed in the law regarding the particulars of my case. We ended up settling out of court however if we did go to court I felt extremely comfortable wi...th his high level of expertise to represent me well in court. I have had experience with several lawyers for other issues and can honestly say he is truly the most trustworthy, professional, and hardworking lawyer that I have dealt with. I highly recommend him and would gladly hire him again for any future needs. Linda

Consummate Professional

Malcolm handled a personal injury case for me, which stemmed from an automobile accident. He was understanding and got results. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Gave me back my piece of mind.

My sister passed away almost 2 years ago from what the doctor told me was natural causes. I was skeptical but believed my doctor because I never thought he would ever lie. After being told that my sister may still be alive today if not for that doctors mistake, I called my life long friend who is a l...awyer. I explained the situation and she highly recommended that I contact Attorney Malcolm MacGregor because he specializes in complex medical malpractice cases. I first contacted Attorney MacGregor in January 2012. I immediately felt at home after speaking with him. He is the kindest and most caring man I ever spoke with. He knew the law and I was amazed that he was able to understand the medical terminology and issues, just as a doctor would.. After meeting with Attorney MacGregor I knew I was in good hands. My case just recently settled and I couldn't be more pleased. Part of the settlement was for the doctor to admit his mistake and tell me he was sorry. Nothing will bring my sister back, I know this, but if it wasn't for Attorney MacGregor, she would not be resting in peace.I highly recommend Attorney MacGregor to everyone who needs a lawyer that truly cares about the loss of your loved one. It's very hard to find good stand up people who are trustworthy and actually care. Attorney MacGregor is simply amazing.

Ultimate Professional

Malcolm MacGregor successfully mounted a medical malpractice case against the surgeon and hospital responsible for my husband's death. I was very much involved in the case, and had the opportunity to observe Malcolm as he methodically put the case together, conducted depositions, and also in trial ...on other cases. His preparation was meticulous, and I have often referred to him as "a steel fist in a velvet glove". He was firm and knew how to go for the important information, never losing his cool under the most stressful and irritating of circumstances, even when the opposition was behaving in a rude or angry manner. It was always clear that Malcolm cared about us. He never lost sight of for whom he was fighting. Additionally, the judge in our county has spoken favorably about Malcolm, saying that he is always respectful of the Court, and comes prepared. I would, and have, referred Malcolm without reservation.
