Quite simply the best.
If I could give a sixth star, I would.
Throughout my ordeal, Ms. McDonald of CJW has been professional, kind and invested in trying to secure the best outcomes. Communication was always clear and necessary, whilst still being personable. The standard of correspondence between myself and the other was always on point and accurate.
Ms. McDonald secured me an excellent barrister, and helped me resolve ten years of issues where others had failed. I cannot praise or recommend her services enough.

Father and family
Joanne McDonald from start to finish was the perfect balance of supportiveness but was also having the ability to provide me with honest advice regarding my case. This was extremely important as this case tested my emotional strength more than I anticipated as it involved children. When required Joanne was direct and also had a great attention to detail while also bringing to my attention possible future needs so I did not make short-sighted decisions. Thank you for being there for me at such a critical time.

Jo McDonald is an incredible solicitor, i would highly recommend her to anyone. Not only was she there to answer my many questions, she gave me great advice and always worked in the best interest for me and my son. When dealing with an extremely difficult ex-partner, Jo always stayed calm and could see through the manipulation which made an incredibly hard time, more manageable. I can't thank Jo enough and would not hesitate to hire her as my solicitor again if i needed.
