Honest Counsel,
Aggressive Representation

You are better off hiring an attorney to defend you when facing criminal charges. The law is far more complex than most people think, and having a skilled attorney at your side causes the court to take your defense seriously.

As a former prosecutor, Mr. McDonald is familiar with both sides of the criminal proceedings and can use this perspective to your advantage.

Too many criminal defense lawyers will promise an outcome they know they can never deliver. They want your business and if they tell you what you want to hear, you will pay them. Our firm believes in being honest right from the start and remaining that way throughout your case.

A Personal Message
from Mr. McDonald

As your attorney, I will always give you an honest appraisal of what I can do for you. You will never come back to me later and say that I promised you one thing and delivered something else. A source of great pride within our whole office is knowing that our clients participate in their defense strategy every step of the way, beginning with the first consultation.

Here, you may not always like what I tell you about your case, but you will always hear the truth. This philosophy, in how we treat our clients, contributes to the great results we are able to achieve in our cases. I consider each of my clients’ cases, no matter how large or small, to be equally important. I will work tirelessly to achieve the result you and I together have agreed is a good outcome based upon your particular circumstance.
