Posted by Cara | March 14, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

The attorney my Ex wishes he hired.

Mr. MacKenzie represented me through my divorce, like most people going through a divorce, it was a very difficult time for me. Mr. MacKenzie was patient and explained everything in detail. He listened to my concerns and was honest with me about what to expect. Mr. MacKenzie and his staff were ava...ilable to assist me with all my questions even following the settlement of my divorce. With the help of Mr. MacKenzie I have what I consider the ideal custody order. My ex-husband and I co-parent in a healthy way and I receive the financial support that is reasonable for my situation I am so grateful for the help and guidance I received from Mr. MacKenzie and would strongly recommend him to my friends and family. My ex-husband even supports this recommendation.

Great Attorney

You are lucky If you are reading my comment even you are unfortunate like me that have to face the divorce. He really made me feel like God opens the window in my life. Mr. Mackenzie helped his associate started my case, so neat. He even didn't raise up the attorney fee at the time i switched to him.... 1. Experienced. 2. Professional. 3. Very clear monthly statement. I have never got over charged $1 extra. (no exaggeration!) 4. Never do anything extra/unnecessary which have saved me lot of money. 5. Never missed anything either. 6. Most important of representing, always on my side and tried very hard. 7. Always keep me informed. 8. Very nice staffs in the office. What else a divorce person can expect from his/her attorney?

Honest, trustworthy and dedicated

Mr. MacKenzie and his staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and prompt in the services rendered in my child custody case thus far. My experience with Mr. MacKenzie has also been very professional, yet down-to-earth when he explains complex legal details that have really made my first legal... process a smooth one. I would very much recommend him to anyone seeking a well-balanced and experienced attorney who is willing to get the facts about a child custody case "straight" and honest. Keep up the great work!

This is a good guy!

Stuart did a fine job with my case. I am a very emotional person, and my custody case involved my daughter being abducted. Stuart kept the case going and didn't over charge me. He gave me sensible advice and left me with a bank account, much more than other lawyers would have. He didn't play on my em...otions. Recently, I asked Stuart about possible litigation on another matter, He read my email and advised against it. He didn't charge me either. So, instead of laying out $ 10,000 up front and having a very emotional year, I am now sitting here with peace of mind and the $$$ I would have spent.

  • 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.
