GREAT JOB!

I am so glad I found Brian McDonnell. I had Lawyer before him and I wasn't feeling right about him. So a friend said try Brian, so I had a consultation with him and I knew I wanted him to represent me. I felt real good about him. He knew what he was talking about, he had a compassion for people and f...or his work. I liked him almost immediately. I hired him and I am so very thankful I did. I was facing 4 yrs. He was very professional and available when I had questions, etc. He also knows alot of people in the courts and that is a big plus for getting you the best deal possible. He really fought for me and I appreciate him more that he'll ever know! You dont find to many like him! Thank You Brian, for getting me home and on track!

Chief Operating Officer

Brian changed my life forever! I had two different situations of a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Brian defended me and was able to exonerate me and get me out of two horrible situations. I would recommend Brian to anyone that needs a defense attorney. Super personable, smart, kn...ows the law and is very connected. Again I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs some support or help.

Brian McDonnell was excellent

Brian did an amazing job navigating me through a difficult process and was able reduce my charges substantially. Hopefully I never find myself in a situation like this again but if I did I would always have Brian on my team.

"I have personally known Brian for many years. I first met Brian in Department N-3 in the North Orange County Judicial District in Fullerton. He was representing a client who desperately needed his legal counsel, advice and representation. He demonstrated outstanding representation to myself and the court throughout all stages of the criminal proceedings obtaining a great resolution for his client. I was a Senior Deputy District Attorney in Orange County when I first met Brian and have maintained a professional relationship and interaction on several cases during that time. He has always been an attorney who exhibits great integrity. Brian is a superb lawyer and an effective advocate for his client(s). I highly recommend him to anyone who are in need of an excellent & very professional attorney. I endorse this lawyer. I endorse this lawyer."
