Tremendous Attorney in Criminal and Immigration Law

I have worked with Mr. Lackey on two complicated legal matters. The first was a 10 defendant major organized fraud case. Mr. Lackey was impressive in his representation and his client was lucky to have him. The second case was an immigration matter with a client who was a former child soldier. T...his was a particularly difficult and complex matter. Mr. Lackey's work was great and his client was able to stay in the country. Few attorneys have such incredible success in both fields of law. I would highly recommend him, particularly to attorneys and clients trying to handle an issue in the Criminal immigration sphere.

Unknown lawyer | Dec 10

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"There are two types of lawyers in South Florida, lawyers who visit their clients and those that don't. Mr. Lackey will visit you where ever you may be. I met Mr. Lackey at the Krome "ICE" detainment center while waiting to see our respective clients. We started a conversation and it was abundantly clear that Mr. Lackey is extremely well versed in both Immigration and Criminal law, a combination that is rare to find. He was so knowledgeable, I referred my client to Mr. Lackey for his incredibly complicated Immigration matter. He could not have been in better hands. Since we have worked together on a Capital case, and after hours of deposition's he insisted that we again visit the scene. It could not have been more fruitful. Mr. Lackey goes the extra mile for each of his clients as well as his colleagues. He is a rare breed and I cannot endorse him enough. -Matthew Karim Esq."
