This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

An initial review of my lease answered all my questions in one go

Mackenzie is a great friend of mine, and I hired him for an initial consult to review my lease and what options were available to me. This consult was so thorough and helpful that we concluded no further action was required from him. I don't often seek legal counsel, but when I do, Mackenzie is t...he first person I go to because of his ability to explain everything in a no-nonsense way. His grasp of the law and what to expect is phenomenal. It also helps that he is an all around good person who quickly understands where you are coming from as well as all the circumstances involved, and that makes him a very easy person to talk to. I highly recommend reaching out Mackenzie to see how he can help.

Efficient and kind

My husband and I received a wrongful notice to vacate and employed MacKenzie and his associate Doug. They were very clear in explaining our rights and steps to be taken as well as possible outcomes. Aside from their knowledge MacKenzie made sure we were capable of affording his services without putti...ng strain on our budget. Throughout the process we were kept informed and up to date with all actions. MacKenzie even went out of his way to drop off our unused retainer at our home after the matter was resolved. We would recommend him to anyone facing issues with a landlord or other situations. He is not only extremely capable and effective but also kind and fair.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Needed Landlord/Tenant help....

Mr.Dunham went above my expectations of what help I would get by email....several other Lawyers simple gave a yes or no reply,but Mr.Dunham took the time and effort to reply AND explain what to expect and what to do. He never once demanded payment of a fee to consult with and get answers to question...s that were important to me...and I consulted with him several times..not just once. A really decent,helpful Attorney.

  • 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.
