Andre is an experienced professional. I recommend him highly for estate and trust planning and advice

Unfortunately my Mother passed away without having a Will or any of her Estate affairs in order. Prior to my mothers passing I had never handled an Estate before. I contacted a few attorneys but didn't feel they were the right fit for all of the complications pertaining to the Estate. Some attorney's weren't even willing to take it on. A neighbor of mine (who is an attorney) suggested that I contact Mr. Andre McDonald to handle my Mothers Estate. After our initial phone consultation, I knew immediately that he was the the right fit for all that needed to be accomplished. It was around the holidays. Mr. McDonald went above and beyond the typical duties that involve getting an Estate opened. He stayed involved and was on top of every aspect regarding the Estate throughout the entire process. He followed through with getting the Estate closed in a timely fashion. Mr. McDonald was very professional and knew exactly what to do and how to handle the Estate. He was always informative and reliable. Mr. McDonald always personally returned my phone calls and my emails in a timely manner. His staff was very pleasant and a joy to work with during a very hard time in my life. He kept me up to date on anything that needed to be done. He took the time to answer any questions or concerns that I had. Dealing with the loss of a loved one is a challenge within itself but Mr. McDonald put my mind at ease. I felt comfortable and confident knowing that he was the attorney handling my Mothers Estate during a very hard and difficult ordeal. I highly recommend Mr. Andre McDonald for any and all of your Estate needs.

I reached out to Mr. McDonald for information on a living trust. I was planning to interview two other attorneys, but decided not to after having all of my questions answered by Mr. McDonald. He is very knowledgable and has been able to assist me with other matters. I would recommend McDonald Law Firm to anyone that is looking for a great estate planning attorney.

I hired Heather as my lawyer for my divorce. She was thorough, careful and detailed - and also really pleasant to work with. She was responsive to emails and answered every question I had. She’s trustworthy and helps to make sure you have all the information you need to make good, informed decisions. I felt confident I was proceeding in a way that was in my best interests. I would definitely recommend Heather to my friends and family.

HIGHLY recommend Heather in any family law matter. She operates with integrity and compassion while aggressively representing her clients. She is an outstanding negotiator and litigator. Her depth of knowledge, her exhaustive preparation and her attention to detail are exceptional - characteristics that proved invaluable in my divorce case. I also appreciated her awareness of the legal costs and her judgment on when costs outweighed the potential benefits to me. An outstanding lawyer in every way!

Andre was extremely patient and informative throughout the entire estate planning process. He was also very quick to respond to our questions over email. We had a great experience working with Andre and highly recommend hiring his firm to draft living wills, trusts, and/or other estate planning documents.

In my separation and divorce, Heather Collier represented me with skill and excellent judgment. Her advice was not only legally sound, but practical. She demonstrated financial sophistication in assisting and advising on how to handle some complex financial issues that arose in the negotiation of the divorce agreement. Throughout, Heather was proactive, efficient, cost-effective and responsive.

It was a real pleasure to work with Heather, who brought the competence and the confidence that I needed to face an unexpected request for divorce. Importantly, Heather was also great in dealing with the complex and more rare international features of my case, which she researched and read up on in a tight time frame. While Heather is clearly experienced with litigating and defending a client's interests in court, she was able to avoid litigation in my case and achieve the outcome I prioritised. Overall, it was a pleasure to interact and spar together including on strategy. I appreciated our open conversations and her frank advice, in person or in phone calls taken around the world.

I worked with Heather on my pre-nuptial agreement. She is fantastic. I was nervous going in and unsure of what to expect. Heather made me feel fully supported and on my side. Heather makes it very clear that when you are working with her, you are her priority. She will fight for you. It's you and her against the world and she is ready to take on whatever comes her way with tenacity, a sharp strategy and holistic understanding of the process - AND what reaction to expect from the other party. Throughout our time working together, Heather was extremely responsive and always kept me apprised, ensuring I understood every nitty-gritty detail. She is an excellent communicator with outstanding attention to detail. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Heather - and have her on my side!

Heather and I worked closely together on my child support case for several months. I was impressed by how responsive she was, and the depth of advice she offered me regarding me case. I always felt in very good hands with her. I recommend her highly.

I can attest that during my long and bitter divorce proceedings, I initially retained other Attorneys. After I had an opportunity to evaluate the knowledge demonstrated, attention to detail, and most importantly, results I was seeing, I felt it wise to seek out an attorney who I was most comfortable; one who was better suited to successfully represent my needs. Upon making the change to law Offices of Dragga, Hannon, Hessler & Wills, LLP, and particularly, Mrs. Heather Collier, I saw a higher level of skilled performance and demonstrable results which quickly assured me of not only her ability in the courtroom, but her attention to my needs outside of the courtroom as well. She is a fighter. She made sure that I did the right thing rather than what I wanted to do which ultimately helped get the results I wanted. Mrs. Collier is someone who communicates well, who does not beat around the bush and also has a good rapport with the judges who oversee these type proceedings. They seemed to trust what she was telling them. Also of importance, I never felt over-billed. I never felt like I was “nickel and dimed”. Heather always was quick to reply to my questions or any of my calls. My experience with Heather was a very positive one. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing to get it right the first time when going through a divorce. I strongly believe that no one will fight harder or do a better job for you than Heather Collier.
