As a trial attorney, I have limited my practice exclusively to the areas of divorce and domestic relations law, and focus my energy on the pursuit of superior results for my clients. In the emotionally charged atmosphere peculiar to divorce and domestic relations law it is frequently necessary to prepare for war in the courtroom, while simultaneously pursuing opportunities to reach settlement.

Sometimes, however, settlement is not possible and it is necessary to go to trial, where I have a proven record before both judge and jury. In addition, I have successfully tried complex and high asset divorce cases and have substantial experience litigating issues related to the division of retirement and pension plans. My record of success extends to the Georgia Supreme Court and Georgia Court of Appeals, where I have effectively advocated for my clients, and have compiled an impressive succes rate.

I am a member of the Family Law and Appellate Sections and Younger Lawyers Division of the State Bar of Georgia; the Family Law Section of the Cobb County Bar Association. I am also a member of the T.C. Williams School of Law and Emory University Alumni Associations and attends Hillside United Methodist Church of Woodstock, Georgia. Aside from my law practice, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children, as well as volunteering with the Boy Scouts of America.

The kind of lawyer you want in your corner

Words can't express the gratitude I have for Brad Mcdonald and his firm. After foolishly believing I could handle matters on my own, I retained Mr. Macdonald and can't be happier with that decision. He guided me through every step of my Child Support and Visitation case. He was quick to respond to ev...en the smallest question I had. His representation of me in court went flawlessly and he is not afraid to fight. My hope is that I won't need a lawyer again, but if I do, he will be my first call.

Highest Possible Recommendation

Without question I would refer anyone facing family law, divorce or other matters of scope to Brad MacDonald. The entire firm made me feel like part of the family and handled my extremely difficult matter with professionalism, strength and sensitivity. I would put Brad up against absolutely any chall...enge and rest easy at night knowing the matter was in the best possible hands. I could not have more confidence in representation than Brad and give him and the entire firm the highest possible recommendation.
