Patrick Kevin McDonald

After moving to Janesville one year ago, our Realtor recommended the McDonald's firm to us. For updating our will, the cost we incurred from Patrick McDonald was much better than the average price charged by other law firms in the area. The initial interview was by phone due to the pandemic. Patr...ick was engaging, making the entire process painless and actually enjoyable. He also assisted our friend's will update a few weeks ago. I cannot speak for the other person who gave this firm only one star. Noting that it is the only review, my feeling is that this was perhaps an anomaly. We are all very happy with the work the firm processed for us and the fee for that work was very reasonable. Thanks McDonald Law, Laura, Bill and Chloe

I hired his firm a number of years ago after talking to Patricks brother. I was told that he would contact the insurance co and say we wanted $200,000 and then we can settle for $100,000 and they will think they are getting off very good. Just sign the paper. Well I s...igned and the letter he sent the insurance co. was for $20,000 not $200000 and I ended up with $5300 after his cut.He charged $1.00 per copy for every paper he sent out plus other charges that I could not prove he did. He sent about 6 or 7 copies of everything.That totaled hundreds of dollars.After being dragged out a long time I only ended up with a few hundred dollars more then if I would have taken the insurance co offer.I told him I was going to make a complaint against him and he said go ahead because he was on the board that would hear the complaint and he would dismiss it. Well that was one of the truthful things he said. He was on the board and it got dismissed. I would not recommend this firm to anyone. I remember part way thru this his brother gave the case to Patrick and said he was very familiar with this case. NOT! He did not even know what happened in the accident so I had to explain everything about the accident to him. And he was pleading my case for me.
