Melody A. Mackenzie

Ms. MacKenzie was honest about what to expect throughout my divorce process. She prefers to help with collaboration because that is the least harmful way for all parties but in a hostile situation she will fiercely represent her client in court. She is shrewd and strong. She will not back down if she... believes in your case and in her solutions.

In retaining this attorney I was hopeful that she, as an older, experienced woman would be able to advise me through my divorce and custody battle. I should have terminated her long before I did. Not only was she rude and condescending to me more and more as the case went on, after over 20k+ her offi...ce was unable to supply a draft of a settlement offer that both parties were willing to sign. I was told I had to go though all of the emails that had gone back and forth for months in order to glean the information that I needed in order to settle my case. Melody herself, throughout the case and increasingly became highly emotional when asked about particulars of my case and often refused to answer emails stating I had to contact her by phone. I had started emailing her exclusively after being screamed at and told I was a "charity case" over the phone one day. She was not able to discern simple calendar parenting information which I laid out in detail in writing and in google calendar format insisting that I was the one not being clear in my proposals and communications. Overall, I would not recommend this attorney to anyone. At all. Ever- unless you like spending a lot of money and being berated while not getting results. I regret the initial decision to hire her immensely.
