Review Cynthia Macdonald

Skillful and adroit attorney.

Posted by

Assertive. Great judgement and analytical skills. Needed an attorney to represent me with a civil matter. I contacted Macdonald Law Office. Since i had never been involved with law before, she was very understanding. We didn’t know if other side was gonna show up or not because papers were not served. Assuming we would be given another court date, we went to court but we were notified that respondent will be there shortly, as respondent was served with summon. We discussed the possible questions and outcomes , if respondent, tries to brush off the accusations. Respondent consented with the petition filled and eventually i was granted Restraining Order. Thanks to Cynthia Macdonald for the preparation and correspondence. I would recommend her to anyone who had never been involved with law before. You would want an experienced attorney by you than a schlocky one.

Cindy Macdonald is a very competent attorney

Cindy Macdonald helped our family in a DUI case. She worked with the district attorney and she understood the devastation this can cause for everyone involved. She was able to get us the best possible outcome.

Highly Recomend Criminal Defense!

Posted by

I don’t know what I would’ve done without Cynthia’s help. I retained Cynthia’s services for a DUI arrest. She helped me through the entire leagal process and went beyond what I would have expected a lawyer to do (making calls on my behalf to get information, etc.). Whenever I had a question or concern, she was quick to respond. This was my first offense and I was quite worried about the potential negative results. Although Cynthia informed me of those negative possibilities, she also gave great effort in easing my worries and talking me through the entire ordeal. I would highly recommend Cynthia for any leagal services.

Best decision I made

I retained Cynthia's services for a criminal case. Cynthia was a guiding light in a time of turbulence in my life. She was very knowledgeable and kept an even-keel throughout the case despite constantly changing variables. I highly recommend her for anyone facing an uncertain legal battle.

Exemplary Jurist

Posted by

As a Philadelphia resident and a beneficiary of an estate in MD, I needed to challenge the mis-handling of the estate by the trustees. Cindy was recommended to me by an attorney from here since her stellar reputation resounds even in Philly. She handled my case with great care and although her excellent negotiating skills did not bring a desired settlement from the estate and we ended up going to trial, I was confidant we would prevail. And we did in every way! Her preparation and legal skills were outstanding. She is an incredibly smart, prepared, capable, communicative and kind woman. The Maryland bar has been raised.

Excellent Estate Planning

Posted by

As a Certified Financial Planner(R), I am thrilled to have Mrs. MacDonald as a resource for my clients. She has an outstanding combination of legal knowledge, communication ability and warm, friendly demeanor that makes her a very appealing choice for referrals. I personally chose her to prepare my own Estate Documents and loved the way she made it all so understandable.
