MacDonald Law Office, LLC

Divorce
Child Custody and Visitation
Domestic violence accusations often arise in the context of situations like divorce, property disputes, child custody disputes, and other family law matters. Often, the accuser has a clear motivation for making the accusation. We are experienced at sorting out these issues.
Guardianship
We also represent clients in a variety of probate and estate proceedings. If you have been named executor of an estate, we can guide you through the probate administration process. We can also help you pursue guardianship over a loved one who has become incapacitated.
Child Abuse

Criminal Defense
Our Salisbury criminal defense lawyers offer the following articles to help you understand what you are facing as well as your rights and legal options
DUI/DWI
Criminal charges for driving under the influence (DUI and DWI) are a serious matter. Potential consequences include driver's license suspension, fines, jail time, and loss of employment for people who need a commercial driver's license (CDL) to do their jobs.
Wrongful Death
Traffic Violations
Many clients of the MacDonald Law Office, LLC are out-of-state residents stopped for a traffic violation while driving through Maryland on Route 13 with a large quantity of illegal drugs in their vehicle.
Sex Crimes
All sex-related criminal charges have very specific criteria that must be met in order for a person to face that specific criminal charge. Sexual assault isn't an exception to that point. If you are charged with sexual assault, you must make sure that you understand the specific points that pertain to this particular criminal charge.
Fraud
Credit card fraud and identity theft do the same thing: take control of another person's identifying information to steal from existing accounts or spend money from newly created accounts. Because these activities are viewed as antisocial and frightening to the public, the prosecution is intense.
Robbery
During her employment as a criminal prosecutor, Ms. MacDonald handled hundreds of criminal andÂ traffic cases Â in the District Court as well as major felonies in the Circuit Court, including burglary, robbery, sexual offenses, and murder. Since entering the private practice of law, Ms. MacDonald has defended criminal and traffic cases in the District and Circuit Courts across the Eastern Shore.
Burglary
If convicted on theft charges, the penalties you face will depend on the value of the stolen property. The higher in value the item or items that were taken, the more severe the penalty. At the MacDonald Law Office, LLC, we encourage people who have been arrested on suspicion of theft or who have been charged with theft to speak with a skilled lawyer as soon as possible. We can quickly determine the most advisable path for fighting the charges you face.
White Collar Crimes
White collar crime is a general description of nonviolent crimes that involve the use of fraud and/or deceit for financial gain. Due to the financial nature of these allegations, they tend to affect business professionals. In Maryland, there are several federal and state crimes that fall into the white collar crime category.
Theft
Misdemeanors
A DNR citation is a misdemeanor, and the maximum penalties are often $1,000 or more; some offenses carry the possibility of jail sentences. A DNR citation is a crime that will remain on your criminal record if you are convicted. DNR police officers and judges take these charges seriously, and so should you.
Embezzlement
No matter what type of charge you are facing, you should understand that there are potentially serious penalties you may face if you are convicted. Some people might be facing fines, incarceration, probation, and community service for crimes like thefts, child pornography, DUIs, DWIs, drug possession, assault, rape, embezzlement, prostitution, harassment, domestic abuse or felony firearm possession.
Drug Crimes
If you or a family member has been charged with or arrested on suspicion of a prescription drug crime, you can take an immediate step toward protecting your rights, freedoms, and future. Talk to a skilled prescription drug charge lawyer at the MacDonald Law Office, LLC. Our defense attorneys in Salisbury and Ocean City are ready to take action and defend you against serious charges that can result in life-altering consequences.
Assault
If you are facing charges for assault, it is critical that you make sure the next step you take protects your legal rights and any defenses you may have. Assault charges can result from a simple argument, a bar fight or an extremely violent altercation. At the MacDonald Law Office, LLC, our priority is to defend you against these charges and the consequences that can result from every type of assault charge you may be facing, from simple battery to felony assault involving violent crimes such as sexual assault. With 20 years and former prosecutor experience on our side, we will work to defend against the criminal charges you may be facing!
Murder
Arrested on the Eastern Shore of Maryland? Our trial attorneys have experience handling every kind of case, from DUI to murder. We are committed to protecting the accused. Get the representation you need now.
Probation Violation
You will be scheduled for a violation of probation hearing in front of your sentencing judge. The judge can send you to jail for violating your probation. But the judge does not have to give you all of your suspended jail time. You also have the right to defend yourself against the allegations made by the Division of Parole and Probation at this hearing.
Identity Theft
Identity theft and fraud are on the rise, and the general public is clamoring for tougher prosecution of credit card and identity theft cases.
Homicide
This is the unintentional killing of another human being while driving. If alcohol is involved in the offense, it becomes an extremely serious felony, with a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. It is common for those who are convicted of vehicular homicide to receive the maximum penalty.
Arson
A felony charge is the most serious classification for crimes. Murders, rapes, identity theft and arson are some examples of felonies. Generally, felony charges are associated with longer periods of incarceration. This incarceration is done in prison instead of the local jail. You also face fines and other penalties if you are convicted of a felony. In addition, you are classified as a felon and might have difficulties finding a job or a place to live because of that classification.
Shoplifting
A theft conviction can have a serious negative impact on your future ability to obtain employment or even rent an apartment. Shoplifting is theft. As an example, Walmart Inc. aggressively prosecutes shoplifting and employee theft and its loss prevention officers are in the Wicomico County District Court every day to testify against shoplifters. With the advent of self-checkout, the number of Walmart theft prosecutions has increased dramatically. Whether Walmart or another retailer, the state's attorney offices of Wicomico and Worcester counties will prosecute and seek convictions in shoplifting cases.
Money Laundering
Fraud and Financial Crimes. These felonies are commonly referred to as white collar crimes. They do not involve felonies and include fraud, federal fraud, money laundering, identity theft, bankruptcy fraud, and unemployment insurance fraud.
Manslaughter
Prostitution
Extortion
