From Therese:
I understand that you're finding yourself in a tough spot. You might have reached a point in your life where it is time to action. You might be on the brink of divorce or have been served with divorce papers by your spouse. You are probably feeling uncertain and scared for your future and that of your family.
I have been in your spot. Having experienced a divorce involving two children myself, I know the feeling of uncertainty and fear that is associated with any family law matter. I use my knowledge and experience (both personal and legal) to work closely with you to set goals for your future and help you get there. I make sure you and your family is protected during this time of crisis.
There are better days ahead! I know first hand. I am now remarried to a wonderful husband (who also happens to be my law-partner) and we have a rambunctious son together. My husband also happens to be the best "bonus dad" ever to my teenage girls. I love my modern, blended family!
You, too, can get there. I give you the tools you need to move forward with your life.

In the fall of 2014, I was looking for a lawyer to help me in a discrimination case that I had filed. At the time, it had already passed through the EEOC, and I needed a lawyer from that point. I came across Mckenzie law firm on google, and gave them a call. From the first time I met with Therese,...

Therese Felth McKenzie was my attorney for my divorce that was filed last year and finalized a few days ago. I am thankful that my grandfather all the way in Dothan, AL recommended their law firm. I was pleased with Therese and her whole office staff. I was able to get ahold of her whenever I needed...
"Therese is a very knowledgeable and professional attorney. She is extremely articulate and a very proficient legal writer and researcher. Her courtroom skills are excellent. She cares about her clients and always goes the extra mile. Her clients are lucky to have her on their side."

"Therese is a well respected family law attorney who is dedicated to providing excellent representation to her clients. Therese takes utmost care with her clients and finds practical and creative solutions to meet their needs. I endorse this lawyer."
"Therese is a passionate, tireless advocate for her clients and she does not rest until she knows every last wrinkle of the legal issues her clients face. She is a great family law attorney, medical malpractice attorney, and an equally great property insurance lawyer. As a property insurance lawyer she has unique experience that helps clients whose claims have been denied, as she used to work on defense of those claims for one of the state's largest insurers. Because of that unique experience, she knows the ins-and-outs of how the insurance companies work, which gets her clients who have been denied just compensation great results. I could not more highly recommend a lawyer than I can Therese."
"Warmhearted and sharp as a tack, Therese is a lovely person and an excellent attorney. I could not proffer a higher endorsement of her. She gets an A+ from me."
"I have known Therese since law school and she has always been smart, hard-working, and ambitious. That same go-getter attitude and relentless work ethic she exhibited in law school has now transferred to her professional career.

"Therese is a talented, knowledgeable attorney who approaches complex legal and factual situations with assertiveness and poise. Her results-oriented approach comes with a profound understanding of her clients' needs. She is a great communicator and effective advocate. I would definitely want her on my side in any courtroom."
""I had the pleasure of previously working with Therese. She is extremely intelligent and cares deeply about her clients. She has the ability to approach legal issues from different perspectives and in ways that would not be obvious to most attorneys. I would highly recommend Therese to anyone who is looking for an attorney in her areas of practice. She is a stellar attorney and person!""
"Therese is an incredibly intelligent and passionate lawyer who works tirelessly to achieve the best outcomes for her clients. Her legal skills and advocacy are exceptional. She also has a great ability to empathize and connect with her clients, adding an element of humanity that is hard to find in the legal profession. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a lawyer."
