I started McKay Law to provide client focused and result orientated legal services. After practicing law for many years at a large law firm, I learned that not every case requires an army of lawyers. Many cases are more effectively handled by a single experienced lawyer overseeing every aspect of the work.
I find the work interesting and exciting. At the time of your first contact, I will make certain that you feel at ease discussing your important legal issues. I provide each client with individualized attention and work to craft a strategy that targets your goals and bottom line. On my desk is a sculpture of The Thinker. It reminds me that I have won most of my cases by a series of strategic choices that were well thought out and skillfully executed.
I am a fighter. I've always been a fighter. It is in my DNA. Whether I’m litigating a class action involving thousands of people against a multinational conglomerate, or an individual case protecting one client's rights, I fight with the same passion and conviction. As a former amateur boxer, and a current Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitor, I believe in standing up for every client – and I am willing to go to the mat for each one.

Excellent Attorney and Honest
After I consulted with Mike I knew I had found a good attorney AND a good person to help represent me. He is very personable and knows people just as much as he knows the law. I felt that his advice was always on point, that he cared about representing my personal values as much as he cared about t...

This is the only review for a lawyer you absolutely must read.
If you're on this site, you looking to solve a legal problem... and you're looking for a lawyer you can trust.

One of the good ones!
I hired Michael for my divorce and words cannot express what a relief I felt once I had him in my corner. I never thought I would get divorced and I wasn't ready for the harsh reality of our court system, but the reality of my situation became crystal clear immediately after I reached out to him. Not...
"Mike is one of those rare lawyers who is not only smart and hardworking, but truly cares about the best interests of his clients. I've co-counseled with Mike on several complex commercial and class action matters over the years. Mike works hard to resolve matters in the most efficient way possible, but can also fight the good fight if that is what is required. He is great to work with and always earns the trust and respect of his clients and the other lawyers on the case. Mike is an excellent choice for whatever your legal needs."
"Michael served as our local counsel on a number of complex securities class actions, including a complex derivative litigation involving a multi-billion dollar company. Through his superb command of the law, the AZ legal community, and negotiating skills, Michael assisted in securing a fabulous result for the company in question, and its shareholders. I highly recommend Mike to anyone needing a superb litigator with deep connections and knowledge of the AZ legal community."
"I strongly endorse Michael McKay. He is a very shrewd civil litigator and brings strong legal skills and common sense to any issue. I'd certainly go to Michael were I faced with any civil litigation matter of significance."
"I endorse Michael McKay. Mike and I worked together at Bonnett Fairbourn Friedman & Balint, P.C. Mike exhibited an unparalleled work ethic, a sharp wit, and a measured tenacity which benefited his clients greatly. Mike is respected and enjoyed in the community, and ensures his clients are well represented."
