Dana Kathryn McKenzie

Terrible experience with her. She completely tore apart any chance of a relationship that I could have ever had with my daughter. I had an extreme case of parental alienation with my daughters mother. She had been putting things in her head about me her whole life. I found this out in all of the text...s they exchanged over the years. I had all of the documentation and proof to show her that this had been happening for years. She did not look over any of my documentation and took the words of a severely manipulated 15 year old girl. I wanted therapy so we could work through our issues and Dana insisted it was too late. She couldn't help our situation because my daughter was too old in her opinion. She took 3-6 months to get back to us with her responses if ever. Please, for your family do not use this women. I have lost everything because of her. I thought she was going to be the solution to help my family but that was not the case at all.

Worst and best PC depending on if you can become her favorite or not. Mrs. McKenzie has an extreme bias towards one parent. Regardless of reason, frivility, logic or truth she will make every decision in favor of that one parent, no matter what proof or evidence you may have to the contrary. Every... decision no matter how small will benefit the favored parent and punish the non-favored parent. Childrens best interests are never considered only the favored parents best interests are considered. Mrs McKenzie requires that both parents attend a Co-Parenting course before she works with them; but does nothing to enforce the favored parent to use anything learned in the course in an attempt work out a solution, nor hold the favored parent accountable prior to her making a decision.

Dana K. McKenzie is by far the most unethical, biased and disrespectful attorney/Parenting Coordinator I have met. She should never be allowed to make decisions for children or families. She passes judgement on individuals in their most vulnerable moments. Judges you with out even looking into your c...ase at all. She makes up rules and bends them for the party she favors. She is never on time and makes unforgivable mistakes. She is also incredibly disrespectful and condescending. Had I read her reviews I would have never hired her. I only hope that writing this one saves another family from suffering from a meeting with her. This job takes compassion, patients and an open mind. Dana does not poses these qualities. She does not care nor does she realize seriousness or respect the type of filed she is in. Save yourself and run the other direction. She does not deserve your money nor should she be in practice.

My ex wife and I have a fairly amicable relationship but once in a while need the help of a mediator. This mediator was on a list that we happen to choose from. I generally don't take the time to write feedback but both my ex and I feel it is necessary in this case to try and warn others. We DO NOT r...ecommend Dana McKenzie. Her lack of professionalism has put our family in a worse situation that we could have imagined. She ruled on things that weren't even issues and didn't rule on things that were. She wrote orders that were so off base after waiting months for any kind of response. This has been costly to both my ex and I with no value. We will be jointly seeking a new mediator but for those of you that don't have as amicable of relationship with your ex, this could be even more detrimental.
