About Aislynn
Biography
Aislynn Thomas-McDonald practices Family and Probate Law. While Mrs. McDonald is recognized throughout Florida for her success in the courtroom, she contributed to the advancement of Mediation and Collaborative Divorce practices in family law from North to South Florida. Mrs. McDonald has also dedicated years of her life to teaching, advocating for domestic violence awareness and prevention, children’s legal advocacy, the literary arts and women’s rights.
Family legal issues have lifelong consequences, so it is crucial to retain a lawyer who is trusted by colleagues and clients. Attorney Thomas-McDonald has earned an AV® Preeminent™ Peer Review Rating by Martindale-Hubbell®, a recognition of her superior legal ability and ethics by attorneys familiar with her work.
My WHY
I truly care about helping people. When I began my career teaching, I loved making an indelible impact in lives of impressionable college age students. When I realized I could couple this passion for people, while helping them make positive life changes – a legal profession became my natural fit. In law, there is a potential impact for exponential positive change. Our laws are shaped by statutes and cases. Every case tells a story and help shapes the outcome of similar stories/cases in the future by the judge’s decisions in the present. But, ultimately, I have realized families should be kept out of court. Creative solutions for unique family needs are best determined by themselves – not an arbitrary judge who doesn’t understand every nuance of each situation.
My HOW
Breakdown in communication is the leading indicator of family problems. Solutions may be as simple as direct communication with a skilled professional about your feelings, who can help navigate you through the legal process to resolve your present conflict. We work with a party in a confidential setting to reach the client’s objective, while minimizing attorney fees and unnecessary court costs. Our goal is to help you reach a peaceful and inexpensive resolution to your family matter.

Fantastic Client Experience
I can’t express how grateful I am to have found Aislynn. Changing jobs is a daunting process and being “legally naive” makes it nerve racking. Aislynn was an irreplaceable asset to negotiate my new work contract. Her knowledge of business coupled with her ability to listen and quickly implement my n...
