Recently, my two ex’s simultaneously initiated custody battles that were relentless, emotionally charged, and entangling within the complex nature of the family court system. For the first time, I found myself frightened and helpless in the face of serious mounting legal issues, which were compounded by extreme humiliation, as each was founded on false allegations of child abuse. When it was time to hire an attorney, I called several. Most were practical and dispassionate, even vilifying me on the basis of my ex’s affidavit. Mr. Mckenzie, however, was not only passionate about my case and respectful, he was livid about what my ex was trying to pull. I think he might have even been angrier than I was. I hired him the next day. While handling my case, he maintained that fervor while deflecting and rejecting all of the nonsense my ex attempted to present during a 4 day long trial. Tom skillfully dismantled CPS investigators, witnesses, and my ex’s testimony in a manner that in turn benefited me. He defended against false allegations with more than a “he said, she said” battle in court, but by crafting a strategy personalized to my unique situation entailing of discovery, the gathering of witnesses and preparation for hearings. More importantly, his representation went beyond defending me; he fought to help me regain a sense of control and empowerment in a decade long relationship in which I grew passive and fearful to stand up for myself. He was, in a word, my advocate. The dynamics of my case, were highly personal for him. Eventually, my ex realized that he wasn’t going to let him get anything past me and we were able to come to an amicable settlement. I can’t recommend Thomas enough. This attorney recognizes the importance of your children and puts them first in the legal process while guiding you with honesty and personalized attention. He has his client’s best interest at heart and the skillset to win.

I cannot even begin to say enough wonderful things about my experience with Thomas McKenzie. He is a brilliant lawyer. He has an extensive knowledge of the legal system and I never once doubted his judgment or insight as he worked tirelessly to make sure my case was taken care of. Having never stepped into a courtroom myself, it was absolutely critical for me to have an experienced, trusted attorney. From the moment I spoke with Mr. McKenzie on the phone, he worked around the clock to make sure all things that needed to be taken care of where taken care of. He was extremely thorough and got the job done. I never once questioned his expertise. I was involved in a case where I was trying to get paternal rights terminated so I could adopt the children. CPS was involved in the case as well as an ad litem. I cannot express how wonderful it felt to have someone representing my cause that was experienced, articulate, with a vast knowledge of family law and the workings of CPS. Without a doubt, Thomas McKenzie is the reason I now have a happy family, complete with three wonderful children. I knew he was reliable and well-equipped to handle such a tough case from the moment I first spoke with him. Even though I'm sure he was handling many cases, he always made our family feel like we were his only clients and that our case was important - that kind of service is extremely hard to find. I feel very blessed that Thomas McKenzie came highly recommended to me, and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

Tom has helped with my son's adoption and an extremely stressful business situation, as well! Cannot say enough good things about him. Not only in dealing with my legal needs, but keeping me calm as well (which is a big deal as I'm a huge stress ball! ). I have consulted with him on multiple situations, and have always been very happy. Love that he does not just tell me what I want to hear, but what I need to hear. Definitely cares about his clients. I have sent him many referrals as well for friends that are navigating the Foster Care adoption world.

Tom went above and beyond helping me with all the many times I had to appear in court for me and my kids. When my money ran out he still continued to help me and my kids. Tom is a very professional yet aggressive when he needs to be. I would highly recommend him, and have recommended him, to many people, all saying he did a really good job for them. You will feel lucky to have Tom on your side.
