Congratulations Scott!

Scott McDonald is by far the most diligent, intelligent, and valuable attorney I have come across. I had interviewed more than twenty different attorney's that could not give me the information I needed to produce a fiduciary business. After having a short meeting with Scott discussing usury laws in ...the U.S., I was able to pursue, and produce a prosperous fiduciary business.

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.
