Dear potential defendant, Ok where do I even begin? To say I owe this Trial Lawyer my life both present and future would be the understatement of my life which to state things lightly has consisted of more intentional mistakes than I care to admit...so I won't... ;-) Without David's intervention in a system plagued with hypocrisy and unfair governmental practices I'd still be buried under the Federal building after of which if they ever did decide to un-bury me they would have then buried me under the State prison! This is one attorney that you can lay it all out for in all it's splendor or ugliness and he'll weed through any prosecutorial induced nonsense like a locust in a corn field! Don't get me wrong; he won't cross ethical boundaries (nor does any good attorney need to in order to still win) but if you want a real person that won't judge you; yet will still protect your interests whether you're innocent or guilty as sin; this is your man. Period. I've seen David T McDonald turn prosecutors and cops into helmet wearing, window licking simpletons just by knowing his trade and the law better than anyone else in the arena; and make no mistake it IS an arena. Is he cheap? Nope but like anyone who has ever paid for a real service knows; you get what you pay for and after all what is more valuable than one's time? Nothing, because you can't get it back... you can't buy it back, steal it back or beg for it back. It's just gone. Besides, prison really sucks; trust me on that if you trust me on nothing else. A savvy competent lawyer can prevent your time and life from slipping into the black abyss of what is oddly referred to as the "Justice System". Have a swell day and I hope this aids in you deciding to arm yourself with a Tyrannosaurus (I believe that's what the T in David's name stands for) chess piece that is unparalleled by any other across the board. Regards, Your friendly neighborhood ex criminal. RR

I got arrested for drug possession and distribution at a music festival in Washington in 2012. David was able to work with me directly on steps that I needed to take to improve my life and legal situation. He worked with the county where I was arrested and my charges were greatly reduced. I am very thankful for this man and how helped my family and I get through that tough time with as little grief as possible. He is a solid lawyer and a good role model and is worthy of my highest recommendation.

I hired Mr. McDonald in 2013 for a very serious case; I was facing multiple felony charges in Clark County Washington and hired David and his team. Mr. McDonald being the absolute professional that he is had a complete team of professionals servicing my case private investigators, doctors and staff. They gave my case undivided attention and unparalleled performance. In the end, all of my charges were dropped I accepted a minor deal and I got my life back....David McDonald is the Best of the Best and I highly recommend his services if and when they are ever needed.... Super Lawyer he is....

David was a pleasure to work with. He made navigating a difficult situation as easy as possible. He was extremely proactive, communicated well, and always treated my case as a high priority. I would absolutely recommend David to anyone who needs aggressive, passionate and honest representation.
