This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best of the best

I want to thank Joe McKenzie for doing a fantastic job representing me in a reconsideration hearing I had for a second degree assault charge. This was because in my original conviction my first lawyer had not only fumbled my case he should be disbarred for negligence. So I asked my corporate atto...rney to help me find a top flight new criminal lawyer who has swagger in Montgomery County MD. That is exactly what he did. Joe is a very composed, meticulous, intelligent and calculated attorney who very methodically turned an absolute disaster into the best possible outcome I could’ve imagined. So I take my hat off to Mr. McKenzie and would give him a 10 star review if I could. If you are looking for a true professional who can broker the best possible outcome for you than look no further. William G.
