I sought an attorney for my family's estate planning. My mother and I consulted and hired Andre McDonald at the MacDonald Law Firm. At our first meeting, he consulted and reviewed the estate planning process and the documents required to implement the strategy. We completed a Medical POA, Trust, and ...a Will. All of our documents were completed in about one week's timeframe. His staff was professional and courteous. I will be using this firm for future endeavors and will recommend his services to fellow peers.

The attorney was retained to develop a comprehensive trust. He was very thorough thru out the process . questions He entertained my questions and his responses were always well thought out. As an elder I needed someone who would be respectful but would also produce a quality document. Attorney McDon...ald provided both.

My husband and I are greatly appreciative of how Mr McDonald took a somewhat complicated matter -- setting up a joint revocable living trust -- and streamlined the process for us. The questions he asked along the way for clarification of our intent showed he really was trying to make sure this came o...ut exactly as we wished.

After finally getting my household in order after moving from a community property state, I consulted with Andre McDonald I need to know if all of the documents needed to be revised. The answer was yes. I hired Mr. McDonald and would not hesitate to hire him again if needed. I chose Mr. McDonal...d from the internet with the following criteria. I wanted a sole practitioner within a reasonable distance from Odenton. Why a sole practitioner? I had spoken with a firm specializing in estate law. The lawyer did not fully answer my questions and stated if I wanted answers, I would need to come in on an hourly basis. I did not feel the questions I posed were out of the ordinary, nor did Mr. McDonald. He not only answered, but provided detailed information. Normally, Mr. McDonald operates with a two week turn-around: preliminary consultation followed by review of your finished documents. I had a family issue that necessitated a resolution before I felt I could safely define my estate parameters. Mr. McDonald and his office staff were understanding and did not pressure me. Mr. McDonald explained issues clearly and did not hesitate to tell me if what I had thought I would do, was not wise. He would follow that with a scenario that clearly illustrated why my initial plan could create problems. I highly recommend Mr. McDonald; you will not be disappointed. He is professional, thorough, and clearly skilled.
