This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Steady and thorough, with character
I utilized Mr. Macdonald’s services from 2015-2018 for divorce. Despite the often chaotic and emotional nature of the process, John was a steady hand and mind and a trustworthy advocate. His arguments were well made and with precedent. He practiced with integrity and had the necessary patience when dealing with an adversary lacking these character traits. For context, this is the 5th positive review I’ve made online and for anyone facing a similar situation, I would highly recommend considering him as your legal representation.

United Airlines Dispute
I recently used Johns services in a dispute I had with United Airlines. John was very knowlegable and easy to work with. He worked tirelessly to drive home my issues and resolve them The end result was better than I had expected. John was very professional and kept me informed with any changes with my case. I would highly recommend his services!
