Great attorney who cares about her clients

I consulted with Ms. McDonald after my husband's death and on several occasions on business issues. Each time she listened to me, asked very specific questions and helped me avoid the expensive cost of litigation. Because I took Ms. McDonald's advice, I didn't have to hire an attorney. But if I ever... need to hire an attorney, Ms. McDonald is most definitely the attorney I will be hiring.

Child Custody Excellent Attorney

We had hired another attorney at a set fee to represent us in a custody case for our grandchildren, upon discovery a partner in the firm had already hired out to another party in the case. I reached out to Ms. McDonald with our circumstances and although her fee was considerably higher she agreed to ...take our case for the other attorney's fee. I feel this gesture speaks volumes about Ms. McDonald's character. She handled our case with the utmost care and consideration. I feel she represented our case in a impeccably professional manner. Her communication was clear and consise. She always returned phone calls quickly. When people ask me for a recommendation for an attorney, she is without a doubt, the #1 on my list

Business Law and Family Law

Elizabeth has been my Business Lawyer since our inception in 2007. Elizabeth is a very thorough and competent professional who always has my company's best interest in mind. However, Elizabeth would not hesitate to tell me to curb my actions based on her policies and procedures. I always fell like... our company is in good hands. She never misses a scheduled meeting and always takes my calls or returns them in a timely manner. What I especially like about Elizabeth is her ability to remain calm in crisis situations. Elizabeth also help my family in a child custody matter. Although there were many stumbling-blocks, she always keep us informed on the progress. Child custody is a very long and emotional process, Elizabeth was able to make the experience as palatable as possible. Elizabeth is a solid lawyer. I would highly recommend her for Business or Family Law.
