Wrongful Death lawsuit

Michael handled our case for the wrongful death lawsuit for our son. He went above and beyond our expectations. He was always there if we had a question. Walked us through every step of the way of one of the greatest losses of our families life. If you are looking for an attorney who cares about your... best interests then Michael McDonald is truly the attorney you want. He's a hands on attorney, always keeping you up-to-date. He always answered our phone calls and text messages. We couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Thank you Mike

An Absolute First-Rate Experience

Michael was my lead attorney from Bentley & More on a personal injury case related to a very bad motorcycle accident. I interviewed several attorneys, but chose Michael and his team because he was a very patient listener and answered all of my questions with an obvious level of expertise and confide...nce. His previous experience litigating on behalf of insurance companies gives him an obvious advantage now that he sits on the other side of the table. All of that means nothing if he can't get you the absolute best settlement possible, and Michael did just that for me. Within less than a year following my accident, Michael and his team secured me a seven figure settlement.

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.
