Rich grew up in Scenery Hill, Washington County, Pennsylvania.

His maternal grandfather and his three great uncles spent their entire worklives at the Mariana Mine. Rich’s grandfather contracted black lung disease working there. At one point, Rich recalls having eight relatives working the mine. His paternal grandfather worked in a mill in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, which produced steel for bridges.. As a father and husband, I know the preciousness of life. As the son and grandson of former coal miners in Washington County, Pennsylvania, I know the danger encountered everyday when a loved one leaves the house. When I first started practicing law, I mainly defended companies in personal injury lawsuits. But, my practice now focuses on representing individuals when they have been hurt or they have lost a loved one. That focus includes serious personal injury and wrongful death, admiralty & maritime, railroad - FELA, oilfield and gas explosions, motorcylce and car accidents, and product liability lawsuits.

Firm: Hunter MacDonald, Esq.

When I am not practicing law, I love to travel.  My favorite travel spot is China because it is so different from the U.S.  I graduated from Seattle University Law School and have been trying to help the little guy ever since.  The majority of my cases are in the areas of real estate, condemnations, construction, personal injury, and medical malpractice, but I can help you with just about anything.  My other areas of interest are police searches, drug and blood evidence, lab standards, and toxicology issues.  I used to work on a lot of cases involving police dog "alerts" and police blood results, so I know a little more about science than the average lawyer.  I live in Seattle and work in Tacoma, so I can meet you anywhere you like.  Please let me help you with your legal work and then tell me about your favorite place to travel.
