Julie M McDonald

Ms. McDonald, is professional and on top of her stuff! She did an amazing job for us. Shes a straight shooter and I appreciated that. Im not from the area and literally only had her picture to go by. I trusted her face and decided to take a chance. Im grateful I followed my gut! We sat down with her ...explained the situation and she was on top it. She walks you through the process making certain you understand. She answered your questions no matter the time if she available. When I didn't expect and immediate response I got one! She walked with us from start to finish and I DO NOT REGRET seeking her counsel. I would have rather met her under different circumstances but seeing as how that was not the case im glad she was there when we needed her! You cant go wrong!

Having to rely on a public defender you've never met, to help you out of a big hole is a frightening position to be in. Fear not. Julie couldn't have been more professional, honest, or pragmatic. After one phone call, & an one office visit, my world completely changed for the better. Thoroughly... satisfied with her work, and would recommend her to anyone needing a strong attorney to handle their issues.

I was charged with criminal trespassing in the 3rd degree a couple months ago, and overlooked it until the very last minute. Julie was one of three lawyers working in Yuma that were on the State Bar's Certified Specialist list, and the only one that from the very get-go provided a competent plan for ...a dismissal. I was initially surprised at how friendly and informal she was, but it turned out to be a huge asset to have someone that truly felt like a friend that I was very comfortable with guide me through all the legal jargon. From the very beginning, Julie delved deeply into my case to dig out any overlooked aspects that could benefit me. She really went out of her way to make all the procedures as convenient as possible, and answered every question I had via email or phone immediately. She took care of every bump in the road, and gave me a tremendous amount of guidance while curating my plea for a dismissal. My case was dismissed, and I never even had to travel to Yuma. She exceeded every expectation I had; I sincerely don’t think there’s anything she could have done better. From my experience with Julie, it is clear she is a one of a kind lawyer that really goes out of her way to provide the best service for her clients. If you have any doubts about picking her, really, don’t. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.
