Legal Review

Mr. Macdonald was professional and timely in all of our interactions and correspondences. He was clear and upfront on his views of possible outcomes and was good counsel. I would reccomend Mr. Macdonald to others seeking legal assistance.

As good as public defender

We hired Andrew McDonald for my son for criminal charges as a minor. He has nice personality, kind of quiet and not in a rush to work on your case. I had a feeling he was reading case paper inside the court house right before the presentation. If I did not ask him questions or did not requested to ch...ange or drop the charges, it looked like he would not even think about it. I was little frustrated about that because I am in a medical field and did not understand some law terminology. No explanation was provided by our lawyer until it was too late to change. When I asked him about some chargers that did not apply to our son his response was "I will ask the judge to change but this is juvenile court and it will be sealed". I believe nothing is completely sealed and you never know what the future will bring. I would not recommend this attorney and I think he probably best performed as a prosecutor than a defense attorney.
