This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very Nice Gentlemen

Although he was unable to assist me with my case he was very nice to give me another referral and took an extra step to tell me if the referral did not work out he would try and help me find another attorney. Don't know if I need to call him again but I would not hesitate to do so .

Efficient, competent, fair

I am a retired business owner. Have had many experiences with attorneys over the years. Mr. McDonald listens to his clients, evaluates the problem, handles it efficiently and competently. Plus, his fee is very fair. I would definitely use Mr. McDonald again and recommend him highly. Very often atto...rneys who have been in business too long, will not give a small case any attention. They are burned out and would rather be on the golf course. Mr. McDonald is motivated and has fresh ideas.

Communication & Efficiency Are The Best

Keeps in touch. Is well informed and will always fight for your case. I've used many lawyer for many different things (civil & criminal). Andy, by far has stayed in touch, informed me of all activities, and had better results than any other attorney.

You won't do better than M. Andrew McDonald

Andy has handled several matters for me and I have been so very pleased that he, my wife and I are about to update our wills with him as well. Proverbs 12:10 says, "A righteous man regards the life of his animal," and it is natural for me, a veterinarian, to consider the care of a man's pets when co...nsidering the whole man. Andy's care and concern for the dogs in his care is impeccable, and he carries that standard into his practice and his personal life. Andy is a man of high principles. He will not be in a rush when discussing your legal needs or case; rather he will take all of the time required to answer your every question and concern. You won't do better than M. Andrew McDonald.

Litigation lawyer | Jun 03

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I wholeheartedly endorse Andy not only as a knowledgeable and skilled attorney but also as an attorney with uncompromised integrity. I have known Andy for over 10 years, and in that time he has always placed the needs of his clients ahead of his own. In my opinion it is this selfless desire to provide the best legal advice for those seeking his counsel, regardless of whether it will result in any benefit to him, that separates Andy from most attorneys, and it is the reason why I recommend him so highly."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
