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.

Professional and inviting.
Alishia is a very professional and strong attorney. She worked extremely hard for me when I needed her most. She handles her clients with care and without judgment. She's very easy to talk to. It's obvious that she loves what she does and it shows. I would recommend Alishia any time hands down.

Awesome Attorney
Attorney McDonald had everything under control for my divorce. She was always organized and kept me calm. I left my divorce satisfied with the outcome. What I appreciate the most was her straight no chaser approach. Highly recommend her!
