Biography
"I represent my client, not the government and not the bank. When I get a call for help, I know the person on the other end of the phone is facing a difficult situation, and they have already entrusted a great deal in me by simply making the phone call. It's my job to listen to their needs and the details of their case and develop a legal strategy designed to help them. I will use every resource at my disposal, including investigators and other experts, to help my client win their case." Alishia W. McDonald, , not the government and not the bank.
