About

On a daily basis, Julie lives her lifelong passion for providing competent representation to people like you facing criminal prosecution.  As a certified specialist in criminal law, one of less than a hundred such specialists in Arizona, Julie never lessens her zeal in expertly navigating her clients through the turbulent waters of the nightmare criminal charges bring not only to the person charged, but to every aspect of that person’s life, including family, friends and basic economic security.Julie brings more than 17 years of experience with her, experience that ranges from the trenches of the public defender's office to the detailed, high end representation of clients from a private criminal defense firm.  From representing a juvenile charged with the murder of his own parents to working to save a woman from the death penalty, Julie has worked on hundreds of criminal cases.  Whether the charge is a simple disturbance of the peace, possession of an illegal substance, sexual misconduct, or the most heinous murder, Julie’s focus remains on point and Julie’s legal skills work to the benefit of her clients. Julie views her clients not as defendants but as neighbors, as someone’s son, as a husband’s wife.  Julie’s clients are people first, and people Julie always remembers are layered with complexity.  Without fail, Julie puts a smile on the face of her clients yet always provides a clear, concise explanation of what each and every client can expect.  No case is too small as Julie always remembers that each client treasures liberty, seeks solid legal advice, and wishes to have the full protection of the United States Constitution used to its maximum benefit.

Ms. McDonald, is professional and on top of her stuff! She did an amazing job for us. Shes a straight shooter and I appreciated that. Im not from the area and literally only had her picture to go by. I trusted her face and decided to take a chance. Im grateful I followed my gut! We sat down with her explained the situation and she was on top it. She walks you through the process making certain you understand. She answered your questions no matter the time if she available. When I didn't expect and immediate response I got one! She walked with us from start to finish and I DO NOT REGRET seeking her counsel. I would have rather met her under different circumstances but seeing as how that was not the case im glad she was there when we needed her! You cant go wrong!

I was facing a case in regards to charges I'm completely unfamiliar with and have not had much experience with courts or how to proceed. After doing some research on Yuma as I live hours away in a different town, it came clear Julie was going to be the best very quick just based off of reviews and reputation. I reached out to Julia who responded promptly in the evening. After getting the details about my case she advised me exactly how the scenario plays out and what my options are. 100% honesty and excellent knowledge of her craft. If I ever run into trouble in the Yuma area, Julie will be my go to. Thank you again!

I had a DUI to the slightest degree and I consulted with Julie M McDonald, I explained the situation and she offered me to help. Julie worked hard to proof my innocence, she was always aware of my emails and calls, always with the best attitude. The case was dismissed and I will always be grateful for helping me in this hard position I was in. I would definitely recommend to friends, family or anyone.

Attorney McDonald took my case on without hesitation, with diligence and attentive attention to detail. Charges were dismissed and she has followed up throughout the counter charges filed against the accuser. She has continued to keep me well informed above and beyond.

For starters, Julie gave me all the advice I needed to do everything myself saying, "truthfully, you don't even need me." I hired her because I live out of state and she was the only lawyer in Yuma that made me feel like she was representing me, rather than my case. When my case turned out to be an easy one, she refunded (even though she was not asked or obligated) a portion of my retainer. In my over 45 years of life, I have never encountered an attorney with so much honesty and integrity before.
