Hired Attorney

I hired Cynthia from out-of-state, she was recommended by another amazing criminal defense atty. She not only handled everything so I didn't have to travel back to MD but she explained all the potential outcomes clearly. Not only was she kind and compassionate when you are dealing with the stress and foreboding outcome; she litigated with the prosecutor so my family and work were not affected by punishments. Recommend her a 1000x over! I'd send my own children to her if they ever need help in Southern MD.

Hired Attorney

Cynthia Brubaker MacDonald is an exemplary jurist who handled my estate litigation when I had to challenge trustees for mis-handling a trust. We went to trial and won our case thanks to Cindy's preparedness and knowledge of the law. Her legal skills are outstanding and I was fortunate to be recommended to her by a lawyer in my hometown of Philadelphia. She is an excellent attorney and raises the Maryland bar.

Hired Attorney

As a Certified Financial Planner(R), I am thrilled to have Mrs. MacDonald as a resource for my clients. She has an outstanding combination of legal knowledge, communication ability and warm, friendly demeanor that makes her a very appealing choice for referrals. I personally chose her for my own Estate Documents and loved the way she made it all so understandable.

Hired Attorney

As a CPA, I recommend Ms. MacDonald to the majority of my clients who require estate and trust services. She is extremely knowledgeable and is very approachable and available to clients when they have questions. I have been so impressed with her work that I had her prepare wills for my husband and myself and also for other family members who asked for a recommendation from me for an attorney.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
