With her proficiency and experience, Ms. McDonald took on my case without the blink of an eye; it was as if I were her only client. At my initial meeting with her, I was being held without bond, and after retaining her services, she successfully secured a bond for which I was released. I knew then ...
"I worked with Keva in the Virginia Beach Public Defender's Office. She has over a decade of experience handling high stakes criminal cases in both state and federal courts. She is a fierce, intelligent, and creative advocate. She has my strong endorsement."
"I endorse this lawyer. Keva was an law clerk while I was with the Alexandria Public Defender. My first impressions were that she was poised, extremely intelligent, dedicated and unusually passionate about the cause of the defense. That first impression has become a lasting one. As an attorney, Keva has earned a reputation in the defense community for creativity, hard work, commitment to her clients, and overall, results. I recommend her highly."
"Ms. McDonald is a compassionate, intelligent and hardworking attorney. She represents her clients diligently and takes the time to understand their individual needs for their specific situations. I highly recommend Ms. McDonald."
"Ms. McDonald is an excellent attorney and colleague. I have benefitted from her advice and guidance many times. I never hesitate to refer cases to her because I am confident she gives every client the very highest level of care."
"Keva is a passionate, skilled defense attorney who goes the extra mile for her clients. She is a caring and dedicated advocate."
"If more attorneys were like Keva, no one would make attorney jokes. She's a great person and a great attorney."
"I have practiced alongside Ms. McDonald and highly recommend her. She works hard on behalf of her clients and I have witnessed her skill in the courtroom. She is also personable and respected by both her fellow members of the defense bar and prosecutors."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have seen Keva in actions, and she is well known in the community for her hard work and great results. I definitely recommend her."
"I have known Ms. McDonald for many years and have seen her in action in the courtroom. The measure of my trust in Ms. McDonald is illustrated by the people that I refer to her firm. When close friends ask me for a good criminal defense lawyer in Virginia, I am quick to recommend Ms. McDonald."
"I'm proud to recommend my colleague Keva to those facing serious criminal charges. She is intelligent, motivated, and diligent in defending her clients."
