The best lawyer to have on your team

I had to change lawyers in the middle of a divorce due to lack of my previous lawyer lack of "understanding" my situation. I met MacKenzie through a referral and she hands down was an angel sent!! Made the transition smooth, she didn't drag my case out, and def. worked in the interest of her client!...! I won't ever deal with a different lawyer again!!! Trust me she is def a must have on your team!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
