Review David McKeand

Responsive, no games

Posted by

I really appreciate how responsive and available Mac was when I texted with questions. He was patient with my anger about my situation, and empathetic. He is open, but does not exaggerate or just tell you what you want to hear. He saw my case through to a successful conclusion. Compensation was agreed to up front, with no nickel-and-diming later. Dealing with Mac is how dealing with a lawyer should be.

Consientous Outstanding Professional and Human Being

Posted by

I had the devine intervention of getting to know and receive legal advise. From the moment that I spoke with Mac MacKeand, he provided a sense of relief and peace of mind. This is what made it so easy to communicate with and easy to talk to. He always provided great feedback and trusted him blindly throughout the entire case progression. I would seek his legal advise in a heartbeat and would therefore highly recommend his services to anyone.

Legal Services

Posted by

Mr. McKeand provided me of legal services several years ago and remains my legal counsel. He is one of the most hard working and sincere people I have ever met, both personally and professionally. I would definitely recommend using him as a lawyer to anyone in need of any legal advice.

Assistance and resolution with Private Investigator Licensing issue

Posted by

I was informed by the State of Texas that I was being investigated for not being properly licensed to perform digital forensic investigations. This was based on a complaint from an unknown source. I was instructed that violations could result in administrative and civil penalties as well as criminal filings against the me. I immediately retained David "Mac" McKeand as soon as I was notified of this investigation. I was told that he could help with all the areas of concern. Mac assisted me with preparing a response to the investigator and represented me when I met with the investigator personally. The investigator was very complimentary of Mac and was, in fact, glad that I had brought him to our meeting. Mac continued to provide assistance while the investigation continued. Ultimately, I was exonerated of any wrongdoing. It was only because of Mac's legal guidance and knowledge that I was cleared. Mac was responsive and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend him and, if the need arises, I will use him again.

Gets the job done

Posted by

Mac Mckeand successfully took the stress away from me, one of his clients, because once I contacted him for a legal predicament, it became his issue, not mine. I strongly appreciate the services he provided to me, in addition to getting the job done within the best of my interests.

Happy client - great trial lawyer

Posted by

Mac McKeand really helped me with my case and was very pleased with the outcome. It was obvious to me why H-Texas magazine has named him as a top lawyer several years. He answered my questions and was available when was convenient to me. He explained things in a way I could understand and fought for the best settlement for me.
