Domestic Violence

Dawn Macready provided extraordinary service in our daughter's domestic violence case. She responded quickly to all the questions and concerns that we had. Dawn executed everything in a prompt and respectful manner. She explained the procedure to follow and kept us updated of the progress of the case.... Dawn was able to resolve our daughter's case even without our daughter having to attend court. She went beyond our expectations and we will definitely recommend Dawn Macready.

BEST of the BEST Attorneis

Highly recommended AA++ Great communication and answer to all my questions!! Case was resolved faster then expected thanks to her knowledge and way of work I will have no dough on having her as my attorney (lawyer) to represent me again. Have no words to thanks her for the good job and effort.

Above and beyond my expectations!

I first hired Ms. Macready to handle a criminal traffic case. She not only obtained a dismissal of the criminal charges, but she made the whole process go smoothly and stress-free. She was such a pleasure to work with that I decided to have her handle my family case. Once again, she did not disapp...oint me. I would highly recommend Ms. Macready to anyone looking for a criminal defense or family attorney.

Highly Recommend

Excellent attorney... I would not only recommend her but also hire her again. She listened to my side of the case and put together a game plan that worked for me. She is incredibly thorough and thoughtful. All aspects of the potential outcomes were explained in detail and she made herself availabl...e to take my calls and respond to emails. Even though the circumstances weren't ideal, it was a pleasure working with her.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Dawn Macready was my mentor and supervisor in the Domestic Representation Unit of the Miami Public Defender's Office. I worked closely under her and her trial partner in all phases of the criminal process, from arraignment to jury trial. Dawn always kept cool under pressure, exhibited a thorough knowledge of criminal law and procedure, and proved to be a very competent and confident trial attorney. I could always count on Dawn to give me helpful advice when a difficult situation arose with a case."

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
