Cheryl has represented many individuals and businesses during state and federal investigations. If you are contacted by law enforcement or a federal agency either by a telephone call, federal target letter, administrative or grand jury subpoena, your first call needs to be to Cheryl A. McDonald, PLLC.

When faced with an investigation, how and when you respond can be essential and often helps steer the direction the case takes from there. There is no “one size fits all” response in these situations. You need to find the right attorney immediately in order to determine your next move. Before you speak to law enforcement or federal agencies, call Cheryl to discuss your options.

Cheryl has represented client's harmed by the negligence of others for many years. Often, personal injury law involves helping clients seek justice after accidents. With years of experience, I understand the emotional and financial toll such incidents can take. My goal is to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve while providing support throughout the legal process.

Losing a loved one, such as a spouse or a child, is a life changing experience. The law offers no sufficient remedy  that can bring your loved one back or ease your grief. When we lose someone through the fault of another, the court offers a sounding board, a chance to learn more about the tragic events, and ultimately a potential to recover a monetary sum through insurance funds or some other means.  Cheryl can help you pursue a recovery in wrongful death cases that may help to take some of the pressures of life off your shoulders while you learn to live with your loss.
