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

Really Great

Attorney Robert MacDonald is not only straightforward and honest with you, but he is probably the most knowledgeable person I have ever met about personal injury and worker's compensation law. I was amazed. He lays it all out for you and describes all the ways things might turn out. He really knows h...is area! He is not a liar, either. He was also helpful in another area, referring me to other attorneys when he couldn't help me. He also is a good person and has a good sense of humor. I highly recommend him.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He left me with nothing!

He's an awful attorney! My health has declined drastically after my accident due to his negligence. And I'm not the only one, my dear friend lost her husband due to his negligence and unprofessional way he does business. He's only concerned about himself and he will lie to you like he did to me for m...onths, and leave you in the dust with no way to take care of yourself, or for dead.

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.
