About the Firm
Small Firm.
Big Commitment.
MacDonald Law Office is a small, downtown Smiths Falls practice. When you hire us, you work directly with your lawyer — not a revolving door of associates. That's the point.
Mark has practised in Smiths Falls since 2002 — first under the mentorship of the late Jack Kirkland, and then on his own as MacDonald Law Office. For criminal defence and wills, Mark handles your file personally. For real estate, he works with an experienced team of staff to move your transaction through smoothly.

Why a Small Firm
Small on Purpose
Big firms have their place. But when you're buying your first house, or facing a criminal charge, or trying to make sure your family is looked after — you want someone who actually knows your name and your file.
That's what a small practice does well. You get one lawyer who handles your matter from start to finish. No intake departments, no file transfers, no wondering who's actually working on your case.
One Lawyer, Start to Finish
Mark handles your file personally. You won't have to re-explain your situation to a different person every time you call.
Twenty-Plus Years Here
Not a franchise, not a branch office. Born and raised in Smiths Falls, Mark started under the late Jack Kirkland and has practised here since 2002. The roots are deep.
