This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Responsive, no games

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 a...greed 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

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

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

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 crimina...l 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.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
