Testimonials

I recently had a consultation with Andre McDonald that led to my wife and I hiring him to provide estate planning services. First and foremost, Andre is extremely knowledgeable and personable. He was able to provide multiple options to my relatively complex estate planning situation and opportunity. In addition, he identified an unknown (to me) potential issue and helped provide solutions. Further, he was timely in the follow-up regarding the recommended action steps and provided clarity to ensure our needs were met. I highly recommend Andre and fully expect to leverage his services in the future.

My wife and I were referred to Andre McDonald for estate planning in Washington DC. We would highly recommend him to anyone seeking help with trusts, wills, advance directives, etc. Andre patiently explains complicated law, and gives excellent advice. He is upfront regarding what he can and cannot do, what it will cost and how long it will take; no surprises.

I retained Mr. McDonald with respect to the administration of an estate. I could not have been happier with my choice. Mr. McDonald was supportive, knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney who specializes in Estate/Elder Law.

We have had the privilege of working with Attorney Andre McDonald for over a year regarding a family member’s estate. He has consistently shown compassion, patience, and thoroughness, providing invaluable guidance at every stage. Thanks to his sense of urgency and extensive knowledge, he saved our family from unnecessary time, energy, and heartache throughout the process. Despite being out of state, we would not hesitate to engage his services again if the opportunity arose. Highly recommend!

At the recommendation of a relative, my wife and I consulted with Andre McDonald to redo our estate plan. Our previous one was over ten years old and was written when we lived in a different state. During the consultation, Andre explained various options for us to consider, and we decided to move forward with him as we began this process. Andre was totally organized and patiently explained every question we had. He then provided the proper forms for us to complete so that he would have the information he needed to move forward on the project. In a very short period of time, he had completed the preparation of everything we needed to finish the project, which included a new trust, revised powers of attorney and living wills, and all the other forms and background we would need, all compiled in a massive notebook as well as an electronic file. When all of that was done, he scheduled a final meeting at which we signed everything that needed to be signed, and also explained the next steps that would occur immediately as well as in the future. We were able to include our daughter, who is the executrix of the estate, in this meeting so that she would be comfortable with her duties. And Andre assured all of us that he would be available to assist us as necessary in the future. Following the closure of this process, a further complication arose with the investment company that we use. Andre advised us through that process and even participated in a conference call with the firm and us to ensure everything was done properly. There was no additional fee for this assistance. I recommend Andre McDonald without hesitation.
