Personable and Professional

After being dissatisfied by the final plea deal procured by a public defender in a DWI case, which was essentially a cop out to the initial misdemeanor charge, I decided it was worth trying to start over with a private attorney. During my free consultation with Serino, MacKay, & Berube, I offered to ...leave my paperwork with the firm to look over while I made my decision. Kevin declined the papers, citing privacy considerations. None of the other five plus local attorneys I interviewed did this, and I interpreted it as a sign of discretion and professionalism, so I hired them. The first victory in the case came when Rich was able to arrange for my license to be temporarily reinstated during a DMV hearing. The final resolution to the criminal side of the case came within six months of my hiring them, and took the form of a gulity plea to a lesser violation (DWAI), as opposed to a misdemeanor, which is what I was hoping for from the outset. Hire this firm if you want likeable, well-connected attorneys who are recptive to client input advocating on your behalf.

Top quality representation

Kevin Mackay is the consummate professional, with every angle of every legal issue covered and completely prepared for. His assistance with my divorce and subsequent family court appearances was priceless--I don't know how I would've gotten through it all without his expertise. I highly recommend M...r. Mackay's legal services.

Top Notch Lawyer

Kevin was extremely attentive to my case and always paid attention to detail. All calls were returned immediately and the entire office staff was always helpful and courteous. My case was family court related and he is extremely knowledgeable in this area. I would recommend him to anyone who is looki...ng for a great lawyer.

Down to earth

Extremely knowledgeable and understanding but also a local guy who is very down to earth and relatable. Kevin really took the time to understand the unique scenario of my divorce, which was really complicated. Needless to say he is awesome and really helped my family.
