Mackenzie E. Whatcott

Mackenzie handled my case and was very professional and thorough. I had calculated what I thought was fair, and she pointed out that I was actually double-counting some things incorrectly, which would have resulted in my overpaying. She was almost too nice, while the opposing attorney was defini...tely unpleasant. In the end, everything went smoothly, she was knowledgeable and I ended up with a small refund from my initial deposit since the case was straightforward.

Mackenzie is generally unprofessional in how she conducts her business. Billing hours is the only thing she seems to care about. Conversation between client and attorney goes something like this, she talks over her clients, raises her voice, interrupts others, leading her client to believe that their... concerns, thoughts and feelings don't matter at all to the case, after all it's all about her. I get the feeling she genuinely enjoys listening to herself talk while her client struggles to get a word in. I always felt like she was missing the point during my entire custody case. Also, I expected her to demonstrate more confidence in her ability to negotiate even argue my case if needed; instead I watched her delay things with slow correspondence and she even failed to give deadlines to opposing counsel when presenting offers so we ended up waiting for weeks never knowing if we'd ever get a response. Her strategy seems to be ignore and delay and it will go away! Huge waste of money, eventually we settled out of court and I wrote the firm a fat check for $20,000.
