Andrew Melchior Macdonald

Our family was in need of a lawyer in Salisbury Maryland. Not being from that area made it a little difficult to decide who to choose. I knew we did not want a large firm that would pass our case down to a young inexperienced lawyer. We knew we didn't want a lawyer in some satellite office from a Bal...timore law firm. We wanted someone who lived in Salisbury and knew the court system well in Salisbury. We felt he was a good choice because he had also been a public defender at one time and knew both sides of the court room well. We initially contacted him on a Saturday and he took our call and also followed up with us again on Sunday. He met with us when it really was not necessary, but more for the relief of some of our own anxiety. He is professional, smart, straight forward and very knowledgable. He told us what he felt the outcome would be and was absolutely correct in his prediction. He did an excellent job representing us in the court room that day. You can tell he is very well respected in the Salisbury court system and seems to know all of the players well. If we had to do it all over, we definitely would use Mr McDonald again. He was an excellent choice!!!

Mr. McDonald & staff were tremendous! Felt like thousands of forms to complete in the beginning and if any minor detail was missing, we were notified immediately. Met several times to discuss case. Biggest fear (for me) was going to court. His calm demeanor helped my nerves. After the hearing, h...e said it would take 60 days to complete. It was 60 days exactly! He is very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and most of all, did not make us feel like failures. That was a major plus!

Andrew Macdonald really saved my career. He worked very hard on my case and got my 5 year sentence reduced to one weekend in a work release program with two years probation. He provided me with a very reasonable payment plan in order for me to pay his fee. He constantly kept me updated with my case a...nd gave me great legal advice.

I was a bit disappointed that Mr. Macdonald did not contact me or my daughter (who he was hired to represent a month ahead of the court date). He did finally call me the day before we were to meet him at the court house. This may have been because it was simple case but without contact it tends to ...wear on your nerves (will he show or won't he). He did and handled the case before the court expertly. He seems to have a good relationship with the court and was able to predict what the court would do with good accuracy. Couldn't have had a better outcome. Honestly, I was expecting a lot worse. Would definitely recommend and use again.
