    Part of the family

    When needing a family lawyer there's a certain bit of anxiety and fear, so much is riding on your choice of an attorney. Claire Mackey understands this and really sets a standard others should try to achieve. We can't thank her enough.

    Top Notch For Divirce.

    Posted by

    I hired Claire as I am a guy and needed a top notch Attorney for my Divorce. Well, I did just that. Claire is a fighter. She is knowledgeable, passionate about her work and outright, gets it done. It's difficult as a dad to get what you need, but Claire made that happen. I will always refer Claire to anyone and I have to several people already. Need a great Attorney, look no further.

    I highly recommend Claire Mackey as your lawyer for any custody case. Not only did show high quality professionalism and competence, she was also very compassionate, and supportive. She always had our child's best interest in mind and fought hard for it. She is not only an outstanding lawyer but is extremely organized, effective, and efficient. You can be confident and assured with Claire on your side.

    Claire was by far the right attorney for my divorce! She is very knowledgeable, and a true fighter and advocate for her clients! It was the hardest time in my life, but she knew how to handle everything, and had great results every time. Claire is the best!

    Very Helpful and Understanding

    Posted by

    I called Claire to discuss a child support issue regarding my grandchild. She talked with me for 20 minutes or so and gave me some very good advice, as well as educated me on the law. She was very compassionate, understanding, and patient with me. (I ask a lot of questions.) We will most assuredly utilize her expertise if we take our issue forward in the future. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for legal help in the area of Family Services.

    If you are in need of a divorce attorney, especially if children are involved I highly recommend Claire. She is very knowledgeable, patient and always puts the children's interests above all else.

    Great experience!

    Posted by

    Claire was extremely helpful and knowledgeable while drafting my will. She was nothing but patient with my many questions and really took the time to listen to what I wanted, while also offering positive and direct answers and examples of how things would work based on my decisions. She explained legal terminology and made sure I understood every part of the process. Claire was easy to work with and made me feel like she had all the time in the world for me even though I am sure she was very busy. Would highly recommend and hire again.

    AMAZING Lawyer!!!

    Posted by

    Hiring Claire Mackey as my attorney for my divorce was the best decision I could have made! Throughout my entire case, she always kept me informed and was very compassionate, patient, and understanding. She was always honest with me and was very dedicated to my case. She knew how important it was to me to have my children primarily with me and I could never thank her enough for making that happen! I'm very glad she was on my side because I certainly wouldn't want to be the one going against her!! She is very knowledgeable and doesn't back down. I would recommend Claire to anyone! She really is a fantastic lawyer!!!

    Not a good person

    Posted by

    Does not fight for father’s rights whatsoever. Definitely would not recommend her to any father needing someone to fight for his kids as I question her moral compass. Just throwing this out there for father’s not to make the mistake of hiring this person.

    I had the opportunity to speak with Ms. Mackey in searching for an attorney to handle a custody case in Lima, Ohio for one of my clients. After speaking with her at length, it was extremely clear to me she is both competent and knowledgeable in the area of family law. Without hesitation I can recommend Claire for your family law needs.
