Great Representation and a Successful Outcome

I had an excellent experience working with Alishia. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly determined to achieve the best possible outcome for my case. She took the time to explain every step of the process, kept me informed, and made sure my questions and concern...s were addressed. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking strong, reliable legal representation.

Very professional and fast response time

Very happy with our experience with A. McDonald Law Firm. She is very knowledgeable and professional. Her quick response to messages is what really set her apart. She would always get back with me the same day, sometimes within a matter of minutes. I definitely recommend her and would hire her again....

Positive outcome

Alishia was very helpful and patient. She researched and worked hard on our case. Alishia is very knowledgeable and always made herself available for questions and insight when needed. We were able to get the outcome we hoped for. We highly recommend Alishia McDonald.

The Lee Family

My son entered this with so much fear, because he didn’t know his rights as a father. After some research, I scheduled the consultation, we met with Ms Alishia and I knew immediately that she was my son’s lawyer. Ms Alishia was patient with us, thoroughly explained his rights as a father, answered... all of our questions and listened to us vent and express our concerns. She was very informative and always professional, even at times when we became impatient. There was never a day or time that we couldn’t contact and communicate with her, she was always available and gave her undivided attention to the case. My son felt heard! I am truly grateful to Ms Alishia for her knowledge and expertise and highly recommend her services. In the end my son was granted all of his requests. Through out this process she kept saying “Just stay the course!” I’m so thankful that we did.

Find someone else!

If I could give 0 stars I would but here we go for starters alishia will fast talk you in lnto thinking she knows the law and will do her best to defend you. She will over talk you to try and make you think she is right she only talked to my boyfriend for about 5 minutes total in the 10 months he was... in jail. I hired alishia 2 weeks into him being locked up so she had plenty of time to learn his case when I would ask questions she would copy and paste long internet post that if I understood I could google myself. She never answered my questions or she would give a dry answer and never showed any concern. she interviewed the “victim” that told 3 different stories and she never called them on any of the lies. In the interview she never showed any concern for her client she flat out told my boyfriend that if he went to trial he would lose. She never offered any defense never asked his side of the story never looked into getting any camera footage which was definitely there. He was told there was no camera footage in a grocery store none at the traffic lights none at the atm none in a McDonald’s just no footage from the entire town. We live in a very small town anything that is done spreads anything that is said spreads these people are walking around town laughing at how we hired the worst attorney in the world have flat out admitted they lied and said she wouldn’t figure it out cause she’s that bad don’t waste your money maybe this review will help her to do better but at this time she is not the way to go.

Your assertions are untrue, but I will respond based on facts rather than emotion. Many times, it is very hard to get clients and their families to understand how a criminal case is handled. I am very sad to see this review concerning your boyfriend's case as it reveals a lack of knowledge about the law as advised. It also shows an inability to separate fact from fantasy. In any criminal case the defendant will ultimately be required to make one of three choices. They will have to choose trial, or to enter a plea pursuant a plea offer or plea open to the court for discretionary sentencing pursuant to their criminal punishment code scoresheet. He made his choice based on the evidence, and his lack of viable defenses. Your boyfriend, and all my clients, received straightforward and honest advice in person and in writing about their case to allow for them to make an informed decision. I wish my client and you the best going forward.
