Juvenile law lawyer | Apr 02

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mackenzie has uncommon courage as an attorney and does not shrink from confrontation with powerful government attorneys or agents when that is what is necessary to protect her clients and advance their interests. Conversely, Mackenzie is very effective as a negotiator and collaborator and she is very personable and pleasant to work with. Mackenzie can balance these seemingly contradictory characteristics because she is principled, intelligent, and experienced. She is comfortable in the courtroom, knows the law well, and is well respected by her colleagues. Anyone looking for an attorney can trust Mackenzie's advice and judgment and know that you can rely on her to guide you to a positive result for your case."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
