About Donald
Biography
My firm provides comprehensive legal services and sound, reasoned advice. My
wide range of experience, in state and federal courts, lets me deliver efficient and effective representation with your best interest always the primary goal.
Litigation is about balancing risk; the art of law is balancing risk and cost to obtain the best possible result for the client. Common sense, excellent education and practical experience are combined with my personal desire to help each of my clients. You are important to me.
My successful negotiation and trial skills are based on having better information
than the opposition. Obtaining information requires skilled use of technological

Homerun
Five stars is the only rating Mr Mackenzie can receive from me. If there were 10 stars, I would give him all 10. Thanks, Scott for doing what you did for me. You very well deserve every dollar of your part of that nice settlement you won for me.

My Super Lawyer
One of the smartest people I've run across in my 73 years. Mr Mackenzie kicked tail and took names when he defended me in a frivolous lawsuit filed against me. He totally humiliated the opposing attorney. I wish I had it on video. Scott was incredible.

He won my case!
3 other law firms turned my case down because they said it would be impossible to win. Scott took the case and in 3 months we settled the case! Thank you Scott!!!

Very helpful! Highly recommend
I got in a car wreck 6 months ago and had Scott help me out. He made everything super easy and stress free. He was always available to answer my questions, I am very pleased with how everything turned out and will be recommending Scott to my friends in the future!

A GREAT Attorney!
Scott Mackenzie successfully represented me in an accident where an 18-wheeler cut me off, totaled my car, and caused me injuries in my Cervical intervertebral disc area. He turned down 3 Settlement offers and we settled for $275,000. He is a tough, tenacious pit-bull that doesn't let go of his bite...
