Highly recommend MacDonald Law. Andrew is a very knowledgeable with the local court system. He is very patient and able to explain in the simplest terms the legal process, options to consider and actions to take that are in your best interest. Our legal representation was thorough, well executed and the outcome was the best we could have expected through his efforts.

Mr MacDonald is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He helped put my family’s mind at ease while being direct and to the point. He truly cares. The best in my opinion.

Andrew MacDonald has a serene disposition and is very precise in dealing with the situation at hand. I appreciate that he went back to the judge and State’s Attorney a second time pre-trial in order to negotiate the best outcome in my case. The cost was very reasonable.

Mr. MacDonald is the attorney you want on your side. Not only is he knowledgeable and professional he is well respected by other attorneys, prosecutors, and judges. Each time I was present for court he was greeted first by others in a positive manner. His calm, confident demeanor kept me at ease when it felt like everything around me was falling apart. He never made any promises or guarantees just explained the processes and I knew that he would fight for me. His prior experience as a prosecutor was a plus in his thought process. Background: I am an active duty servicemember with 22 years of service. March 2020 my whole world almost came to an end when I was notified that I was under investigation for being falsely accused of one of the most heinous crimes you could imagine. I risked losing my retirement, my family and most importantly my freedom for a long time. I was removed from my home and contacted Mr. MacDonald the following morning. From that initial phone call I knew I wanted him as my attorney and paid the retainer fees. He explained the process, what to expect and gave me his personal cell phone number to contact him if/when I was arrested. He notified me that due to the nature of the charges I would be held without bail. May 2020, I was arrested at my job and held without bail in Virginia while awaiting extradition to Maryland. I immediately called Mr. MacDonald and notified him of my arrest. Again he talked me through what to expect when I went before the magistrates. After 12 days I was extradited to Maryland. When I went to my bond review the deputy told me not to expect bond due to the nature of the charges. I was the ONLY one that was released on bond that day. Not only did I receive a bond but I was released on my own recognizance which is unheard of. I know that was mainly in part because of my attorney. November of 2020 Mr. MacDonald discovered evidence which resulted in the state dismissing all charges! Good lawyers aren't cheap and cheap lawyers aren't good! Hire Mr. MacDonald for anything you are accused of!

Back in February 2020 during the holiday weekend I got caught speeding in a speed trap right before entering Ocean City, MD. I didn't want to get points added to my driver license as traffic points have increased so much in VA. So I started looking for local lawyers (really wanted local lawyers not satellite lawyers) who are familiar with the MD Courts in the area and found MacDonald Law Office, LLC and Andrew MacDonald. I called and left a voice message and he called me back and we discussed everything and he explained the process and what it may entail and hopefully we end up with an amicable solution where no points would be added to my license. Then came the COVID-19 pandemic! My trial date was originally set for April, then postponed to June and again to October. I did not have to go and Andrew represented me and informed me that the Officer didn't show up and he moved to dismiss the case! So no points and no fines and I am so grateful and certainly recommend his law firm with how they handled my case given everything than happened. If you're looking for local lawyers in Ocean City, MD talk to this law firm for solutions. A++!

Andrew MacDonald did exactly what I asked him to do and getting my case dismissed there are lawyers and then there are the kind of lawyers where you don't even have to go to court and he's that kind of lawyer I would recommend him in criminal defense for anyone and he did it at an awesome price.

Andrew was the best choice i could have made in my case. My case was very usual, every time we went to court we hear this, Andrew did everything he possibly could to give me the best representation possible and in the end we won the case. He was always very professional to me and the dozens of witness in my case. After I was found not guilty he personally took time to reach out to the dozens of witness and let them know I was found not guilty and to thank them for their help in my case. I would recommend Andrew to anyone who wants the BEST.
