Shannon McDonald is an extremely talented and ethical appellate attorney. She cares about her clients and is not afraid to fight for them or be honest and tell them that they should not waste money on a case that will not have a favorable outcome for the client. I truly appreciate her services!!!

Shannon McDonald ripped me off. She took my retainer, did nothing and refuses to give me my money back. What a scumbag!

We have worked with five attorneys in three law firms including one who had state experience before we finally found attorney McDonald. In our experience, none of them can compare to attorney McDonald’s professionalism, integrity and honesty. Trust is essential in any cases. Attorney McDonald guided us through the complexity of law every step of the way. We have complete confident in her ability and integrity. Her professionalism is impeccable.

I can only provide the utmost positive review of Attorney Shannon McDonald’s work and results. Her unwavering commitment to achieving results was only complimented by her tenacity and work ethic. We had a very complex case in which she methodically managed from beginning to end. We quickly learned that we would not want to be opposing council when she is in the courtroom. She is extremely talented, focused and determined with a tremendous ability to understand the details of the Law. My only regret is not finding her sooner before using multiple other attorneys. She is very trustworthy and will always be our first call in the future with any legal needs.

Ms. McDonald represented me in a case that stretched over 4 years. It was a complicated case, involving international business, and opposing counsel which is one of the larger firms in Pennsylvania with 30+ lawyers. At all times Ms. McDonald demonstrated a firm understanding of the law and at all times she was acting in my best interests while showing no fear of representing me against a large aggressive firm which appeared to take great pleasure in trying to bury us in discovery documentation. Over a period of four years I also got to know that Ms. McDonald is someone who cares about her clients, who has a good sense of humor, and whom I know represents individuals and juveniles who are caught up in difficult family and legal situations. I would not hesitate to hire Ms. McDonald should I ever again need legal representation in Pennsylvania in the future.

I hired Attorney Shannon McDonald after she responded to my online inquiry regarding a contentious custody case. I found her to be competent, focused, and efficient. She brilliantly extracted relevant information from my notes to created clear, concise, and effective petitions for the court. I appreciate her dedication to positive outcomes and have since hired her for other issues. I recommend Attorney Shannon McDonald as an attorney who is smart, honest, and trustworthy.

Highly recommend, professional to the highest degree & will chase after a fair decision with tenacity. I hired Shannon after I had a issue with my prior landlord, she was able to show that he was in the wrong, his contract was void & then later when I received a court date from a magistrate she took the case to the next court level & had a judgement in my favor.

Ms. McDonald was fantastic! She took considerable time (despite the agreed to flat fee) to ensure we were comfortable and that we understood the process. Then she made everything right. Amazing how hard it is to maneuver through the system. So glad she was on our side.

My car was jumpstart incorrectly by the garage resulting in over $1,100 in damage. Shannon quickly told me what documentation she needed and got the garage to pay for all of the damage. Simple and fast!

Shannon jumped to the aid of a very dear friend in need - free of charge - when I posted in a community forum seeking help for her. She was prompt, thoughtful, compassionate and suggested concrete steps to move the situation in a positive direction. Her help is deeply appreciated and I highly recommend her services!

Legal services at it's best. You get help fast, never feel like you have competing interests with your lawyer, never get charged more when less will do, and always get extra advice thrown in to avoid issues in the future.

Recently, my business had some correspondence regarding a mortgage which had been paid off a decade earlier. On the recommendation of a friend, I phoned Attorney McDonald. She was able to research the matter, contact the Industrial Development board which had issued the mortgage, which had been paid off on time, with never a late payment, and obtained the release of lien. She said it was a relatively simple matter, but property liens are never simple when they involve your property. Thank you, Ms. McDonald!

Ms McDonald helped us in a dispute with our apartment managers who attempted to charge us 4 months rent when we broke the lease though the terms should have been read otherwise. With minimal legal fees, we avoided huge arguments with them and they agreed to only charge us 1 month rent.

First, I hired Attirney McDonald for an appeal of a condo association matter. She drafted the appeal at the last moment and filed the appeal in the wrong court! During a related hearing in which I participated both the judge and opposing party's counsel pointed out a procedural error she was making. Needless to say, I was not successful in either that hearing or in my appeal that McDonald handled for me. And when I decided to exhaust my remaining appeal opportunity to the Pa. Supreme Coury McDonald gave me incorrect advice telling me that I had 90 days to initiate an appeal when in reality I had only 30 days to file the required writ of certiorari.
Second, while the first matter was going on, McDonald also prepared for me litigation which was dismissed by the court because the issues had already been litigated in the prior case! And Attorney McDonald knew this because she handled the prior case! Attorney McDonald lead me on a wild goose chase for over seven months with this new litigation and would not refund any of my legal fees that I paid to her. She then refused to participate in binding arbitration per the terms of our agreement. When I took our fee dispute to court, she even claimed she was not acting as my attorney while she was preparing legal documents for me!
Attorney McDonald is an absolutely terrible attorney. She caused me many problems and solved none, and lived up to none of them. Stay far far away!
