I most highly recommend the legal counsel of Richard McDonald. As a former Police Officer and Prosecutor myself, I employed the legal expertise of Richard to negotiate an out of court settlement of a matter that was potentially a minefield of significant complexity. Richard was brilliant in bringing the parties together and negotiating a win-win settlement that avoided the extremely heavy-laden court system. I will forever be appreciative of Richard's professionalism, passion, and precision that has saved tens of thousands of dollars and significant stress. Richard took that which was complex and made life so much easier for the sake of all parties involved. Thank you, Richard and your firm, for all that you have managed to achieve on our behalf.

We met with Richard to get our wills done and he was very kind and helped us navigate some sensitive conversations as part of the process. He made us feel very comfortable and carefully explained all of key aspects which needed our consideration. Recommend getting in touch with him to get important family documents in place.

I have known Richard through the legal profession for many years. I have had the benefit of working both alongside Richard and seeing him perform in court as his opponent. Richard is not just a highly skilled advocate but very knowledgeable when it comes to the law. I have watched Richard fight hard for his clients to get the best possible results. There are not many lawyers with Richard’s background and experience. People can certainly know they have peace of mind if Richard is defending them.
