Great Experience

We are so glad we went to John for our Trust. He made doing a Trust a very seamless process. We had planned on getting one done for quite sometime. He made it so easy, we can't believe we waited as long as we did. We highly recommend him, 5 stars all day long.

Expert, Personalized Estate Planning – A Seamless and Professional Experience

John prepared a family trust for me and my wife, and we are extremely happy with the process and the outcome. John scheduled two informational meetings to help him and us understand our needs. During the meetings John provided expert guidance and counsel, and we were able to make tough decisions in a...n informed manner. The third meeting was dedicated to signing the documents, and John had a professionally choreographed process in place to ensure all the documents were signed, witnessed, and notarized. Highly recommend John for help with your family estate planning.

Trusted Colleague with Unique Estate Law Insights

I’ve had the opportunity to work with John Macdonald in the area of Estate Planning, and I’ve been consistently impressed by his professionalism and collaborative approach. He works seamlessly with both peers and clients, always ensuring clear communication and thoughtful legal insight. One area w...here John’s expertise really stands out is in handling firearms within probate matters—a nuanced and often overlooked part of estate planning. His understanding of the legal complexities involved is both deep and practical, which makes him an invaluable resource in those cases. He helped us sort out how to get them appraised and ultimately auctioned off. I highly recommend John for anyone seeking knowledgeable and well-rounded guidance in estate law.

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.
