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.

Thank you so much!
Mrs. McDonald is one of the hardest working and most knowledgeable professionals I have ever met. She clearly explained every detail and walked me through every step of my case. Dealing with a legal matter was very intimidating and it was extremely comforting to have Attorney Mcdonald on my side.

Very kind and professional
Mrs. McDonald provided legal help when everyone else gave me the run around. She was clear and answered all of my questions. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Replied last June 19, 2024I am sorry to see this review as it is completely fabricated. No judge or attorney is allowed to engage in ex parte communication concerning an active case. As an officer of the court, I am obligated to always tell the truth to any tribunal. If I actually represented you, I am sorry you had such an unpleasant experience.

Worst experience of my life
In the early 2000s I was charged in a criminal case. I chose Alisha Mcdonald as my attorney after a consult with her where she gave her word that she would everything she could to ensure the best possible outcome since it was a first offense. Alisha Mcdonald did absolutely nothing but take my money....

Replied last June 19, 2024I was not practicing criminal law as a defense attorney until approximately 2008. Immediately prior to this time I was a prosecutor in the first judicial circuit. From your response it seems you may have the wrong attorney.
