In addition to being licensed as an attorney in Arizona, I have been licensed as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in Arizona for over ten years.. I was not licensed to practice law in Arizona until two years after graduation from law school.  I was deployed to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom shortly after graduating law school and thus was not able to complete the bar exam until after my service overseas was completed.

I was a police officer and detective for 15 years before becoming a felony and DUI prosecutor.  For several years I prosecuted both felony offenses and misdemeanor and aggravated DUI's with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.. I have been practicing exclusively criminal and DUI defense for the last fifteen years.  During that time, I have successfully defended people charged with DUI, Aggravated DUI, marijuana and drug possession, marijuana and drug sales,domestic violence, robbery, burglary, sex offenses, weapons offenses, manslaughter and homicide.  I have negotiated favorable resolutions, have fought to have cases dismissed and have conducted a number of jury trials to successful outcomes.. Clients will find that they benefit from personalized and individual attention.  From start to finish, I investigate all aspects of a matter including both factual and legal issues in order to achieve the most favorable result possible.  Clients can reach me directly anytime by cell phone, text or e-mail and I am always available to answer questions and respond to their needs.

I understand the emotional difficulties of divorce, separation and paternity actions.  I know that each case presents unique facts and deserves my full attention.  My varied background includes having been a radio and television journalist and former business owner. I know my way around the court system and am an efficient litigator and advocate but do my best to settle cases whenever possible.

I started my career defending people accused of criminal charges,  I lived for the rush of a jury trial and the thrill of going up against the system. As it does though, fate intervened when a close friend of mine got into a nasty custody dispute with his ex-wife. He asked me to step-up as a lawyer and as a friend. At the conclusion of that matter I had found that I had a real talent for Domestic Relations law. It turns out I had the drive and ruthlessness it took to be an effective advocate in the family courts. Sometimes you have to take a few risks, that is what I did. Working with Mark Weingart, my father and mentor, I built up a Domestic Relations subsidiary to the existing Criminal Law firm. I am proud to say that now I have left my own mark on a well known and locally renowned company that my father started over 27 years ago.I enjoy Family Law because the rules are very relaxed and attorneys are afforded a great deal of freedom to handle cases as they see fit; as a proud Libertarian, I appreciate that. I am afforded a unique position in the Weingart Firm, in that while I primarily handle family law matters, I still cover the criminal calendar when I am needed, after all, that's where it all started.

Members of my support staff have been with me for over 15 years. We get a great deal of satisfacation in helping people get a fresh start.. We have a proven track record in obtaining successful results for our clients. We recently reviewed the records at the Phoenix Bankruptcy Court for the period of March 1, 2011 through April 30, 2011 to see how our sucess rate compared to other attorney's. We found that 100% of the Chapter 13 Plan's filed by McDonald Law Offices were approved by the court within 12 months of the filing of the case. The average time that it took our plans to be approved was 7.3 months.  When we looked at other attorney's we found that only 29.7% of the plans filed by all other attorney's combined were approved within 12 months of the filing of the case. Of the 29.7% that were approved, it took an average of 10.2 months to obtain approval. Surprisingly, 14% of the cases filed by other attorney's were rejected by the court within 12 months of the case being filed.

I have been practicing law in Arizona since 1988.  I was born and raised in northeastern Pennsylvania, attended the Pennsylvania State University; and obtained my undergraduate degree at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks.  I earned my law degree, cum laude, from the Gonzaga University School of Law in Spokane Washington.I worked in law firms and as a sole practitioner.  I have represented private and public corporations, individual creditors and debtors, government agencies, local, regional and national financial institutions.  I have experience representing a wide base of client interests.  My practice is now focused on creditor’s rights and commercial litigation.  Early in my career, I gained significant knowledge representing federal agencies in all aspects of closed-bank litigation.

I have represented creditors, debtors and trustees in proceedings under Chapter 11 and Chapter 7, and receivers appointed in Federal Court to collect judgments arising out of securities litigation.  I have represented contractors and suppliers in all aspects of construction litigation.  I have successfully asserted bond claims against sureties and pursued lien foreclosure litigation on behalf of suppliers and contractors. I understand the parties’ issues and concerns, and have the experience to offer solutions.  My ability to offer creative solutions comes from representing clients for over twenty two years and seeing issues and resoling them from multiple points of view.I have appeared in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona, in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Arizona Court of Appeals, and the Superior and Justice Courts throughout the State of Arizona.  I earned an AV Peer Rating, the highest, from the Martindale-Hubbell legal directory, which is defined as: "Very high to preeminent legal ability and very high ethical standards as established by confidential opinions from members of the Bar."  I attended the Arizona College of Trial Advocacy (1992) and was a speaker for Lorman Seminars, Advanced Collection Techniques (November 2004); Collection Practices in Arizona (November 2005).

I am passionate about helping people formulate plans to reach their goals.  Since 1999, I have been involved in that process with hundreds of clients as a professional in the financial services industry.  In 2011, I enrolled at Arizona Summit Law School. It wasn’t always easy balancing family and school while maintaining a growing financial services company.  But with the help of my wife and others, along with some divine intervention, I graduated with honors (summa cum laude) in 2014.  The rest is history.  Now I spend my time helping individuals and families create and maintain solid estate plans – truly an important work!. On a more personal note:. Before becoming an attorney, I grew up in Scottsdale, went to Horizon High School, and then joined the United States Marine Corps Reserves.  Following my active duty training, I went on a 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and later graduated from Arizona State University – go Sun Devils!  Along the way I moved to Mesa where I met my sweetheart – Jennifer.  We were married in 1999 and have since been blessed with 6 children (4 boys & 2 girls)!  So when I’m not at work, I’m usually playing with my family, fixing up the house, or playing basketball.

I am an Arizona native that never wanted to be an "ambulance chaser." However, when I finished law school I found myself taking the first job available and fell in love with the practice area. I get to help real people against the bullies of the world that are trying to take advantage of my clients when they are down on their luck. If it isn't the auto insurance carrier undervaluing claims or misapplying responsibility, it's the health insurance trying to recover the clients money, or the doctors over billing. While the substantial majority of our cases settle, there are those that need to be litigated and we're not afraid to do so. The insurance companies know this and we see the results. We want to make sure you see them too.. Our philosophy is that you should not be just another number. We keep our ratio of both staff and attorneys lower than you will see almost anywhere else. We remain accessable to you at all times. Our firm is presently two attorneys and four paralegals with two other full time staff. Despite this, every single time our phone rings it rings in the attorney's offices as well. Every after hours call, fax, text, voicemail and e-mail goes directly to my personal cell phone. You won't see us on billboards or television because our business comes from referrals from past clients, doctors and even other lawyers that trust us to handle these cases.

I am admitted in New York State and the State of Arizona.  I speak French, Spanish, and French Creole.

I am a native Arizonan (yes, those exist), and returned to Arizona to practice law after graduating from Brigham Young University. My wife and I raised our five children here. I have spent my 25 years as an attorney representing people who have been wrongfully injured in automobile collisions. I have also tried to serve those clients by being involved in orgainzations protecting their rights in the legislature, principally the Arizona Trial Lawyers Association, where I have served as president.. I have a "side" mission of trying to help lawyers and other professsionals make healthier lifestyle choices. I turned to marathon running and careful nutrition several years ago, and have now completed 17 full marathons (and counting; likely more by the time you read this!). I would be happy to speak at any gathering of professionals on this subject--not as an expert but as a dedicated participant and advocate.
