Client

Rene represented myself and husband in a bankruptcy back in 2013. It was a difficult decision but with Rene's help she explained to us how it would work in easy to understand terms. Everything went smoothly she kept us informed on what we needed to do. The court hearing was a little nerve racking ...and she calmed us down and handled it all for us very well.

Estate Planning

My wife and I met with Rena McDonald to update our trust. She was great! She read the old trust cover to cover and made several suggestions for changes and updates. Her staff took great care of us throughout the entire process. We also discovered that my adult children should have documents filed, an...d she took care of that as well. We were so impressed by the experience and her reasonable rates that we also had her sit down with my father and do major revisions to his trust documents too. I cant say enough about Rena and her staff, they were professional, expedient, thorough, and made the entire transaction, which can be tedious and taxing, very enjoyable!

Compassion meets Experience

Rena handled my divorce case and what is naturally a stressful and painful process was made a pleasant as could be with confidence I felt with her experience and her and her staff's patience in educating me of my rights and what to expect. She handled a less experienced attorney in court with brillia...nt, patient strategy. The judge clearly also respected her methods and reputation as the other attorney was reprimanded and corrected multiple times. Having her as my advocate, advisor and champion helped me achieve an outcome I was happy with and left me in the best possible position I could have hoped for. She was clear on what she recommended but always listened to what I wanted and needed. I saw the opposing attorney fueling my ex-husband's anger and fears, ratcheting up his legal bill and the ugliness of the situation. Rena used incredible judgment and wisdom and once again, put my needs and what was best for my kids over the opportunity to fuel the fire and leave us with a huge legal bill and terrible wounds that would take years to heal. I am divorced and in a good situation with a great chance of a wonderful future. Much of this is due to my attorney, Rena McDonald and McDonald Law Group's staff.

Divorce can be a stressful and difficult process. We feel happy to hear that we were able to relieve as much of that burden possible while representing your best interest and the interest of your children. We wish you well moving forward in life and look forward to serving you in the future.

A RARE FIND!!

I have worked with Mrs. Mcdonald for years and she is consistently excellent! Her office is straightforward and to the point without losing compassion and understanding for their clients. You always get a clear legal opinion without all the legalese! I would highly recommend her as anyone's first ...opinion when you find yourself needing legal help!

Friendly and knowledgeable law firm

My husband and I had to file bankruptcy and short sell our house. It was a stressful and sad time in our lives and Rena and her team made it as easy as it could be. A few of our friends had to do the same and we would constantly hear about how their lawyers needed item after item, and several appoint...ments, then ask for the same items again. None of which was the case with McDonald Law Group. Once I gave them everything they requested they took care of everything even up to prepping us for what would go on in the courtroom so that we knew what to expect. At a time that was very difficult for my family Rena was always professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We have continued to use her from everything from reviewing contracts to assisting in family court matters. As long as Rena McDonald is practicing law, she will be my lawyer.
