Our Successful Experience with Working with Mackins & Mackins, LLP

Working with Mackins & Mackins, LLP was an absolute pleasure particularly Mackenzie Macjins the lead attorney and Coral Cervantes. Both are wonderful professionals and knew their way around the laws and procedures extremely well - way above my expectations. Our asylum application went very smoothly... with Mackenzie guiding the process and I was so pleased that we did not try to do it ourselves. Mackins & Mackins, LLP was kind enough to take our case probono and thier scheduling was very flaxible and adaptive to our needs. Every step of the process was very detailed by both Mackenzie and Coral and everything we did examine thoroughly. I was never nervous or worried throughout the process because Mackenzie and Coral were made sure everything was perfectly in order and our process went perfectly smooth. I could not imagined having done the process without Mackins & Mackins, LLP professional experts. I would recommend Mackenzie and Coral as well as Mackins & Mackins, LLP overl firm to anyone with immigration law needs.

Case handled in 4 months!

Where to start with Attorney Mackenzie? I've been in the legal trenches with my case for over 6 years, switching through three attorneys with no light at the end of the tunnel. I even jumped into the fray as an immigration paralegal to get a grip on things — talk about being hands-on, right? Just ...when I was ready to throw in the towel, a buddy pointed me in Mackenzie's direction. I'll never forget our first chat — where she said: "I can get your case finalized before the new year, and it will be like one day before one of the upcoming holidays." Guess what? She was right, she got my case done in a few months time, before the new year and yes, one day before a federal holiday. After my own stint in the field and a few letdowns, I'm telling you, Mackenzie is top-notch. She might have a price tag that'll make your wallet wince, but is she worth it? Every. Single. Penny. If you're out there biting your nails over your case, I get it. But here's my two cents: when it's a toss-up between time and money, I bet on time with Mackenzie, and it was the best decision I made. Here's to hoping you find your legal wizard too!

Horrible Lawyer

My case was a fairly easy case. Almost 3 years and nothing has been resolved. Everything was paid upfront including application fees. I always have to call since they never know what is going on or call to say how my case is going. Finaly at almost 3 years of my life and money waisted for something t...hat i yet am to receive finally was able to speak to makansy over the phone ("because she is always busy"). I was done being patient and expressed my frustration because everything was done wrong and i have to pay all over again and makansy got mad told me to have a nice life and hungs up. So yes i am beyond upset with the way they work. Its awful and don't recomend at all. Get someone better who is more experienced and won't screw you over.

Very passionate attorney

Mackenzie is the most dedicated and honest attorney I have met, and probably the most honest and dedicated attorney I will ever meet. She fought hard to keep my family together when many attorneys shunned us away due to the difficulty of the case. She always kept my family and I informed whilst bein...g brutally honest; it's never good to know you have a very slim chance of winning a case such as this. She was always on-top of the constantly changing tide of immigration law by researching new cases and old ones. One of the most influential matters on people having to deal with legal issues is the money, both to the attorney and the client, in my case at least this was far from true, she didn't earn what she really deserved to profit from my case. So to those who have an issue with paying a person what they deserve, she is more than worth your money. I highly recommend Mackenzie and will be continuing to use her services for as long as I may need. If you're reading this Mackenzie: Thanks again, you're more than the best!

BEST I EVER HAD

Mackenzie is an excellent honest attorney. I was first impressed with her honestly within a few minutes of our conversation. She told me that if she wasn't able to win my case, she would not charge me her fee. After she received all the necessary documents for the case, she gave me the hope I nee...ded because immigration I was told can be a toothache. She kept me informed in everything she did regarding the case. She gave me materials to read so that I could have a clear understanding of what to expect. I was so involved I felt like a team member. I could email her or text her about any questions and she would respond to me quickly. Its was surprising to me how quickly my case ended. Words can't expresss they way I want to tell her thanks for the hard work and dedication. What made me more impressive is the fact that I was in New York which is thousands of miles away. I never met her in person but she treated my case as a priority. I would recommend Mackenzie to anymore who has immigration issues.. She is very honest and dedicated.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am a criminal defense attorney and the owner of Stein-Conaway Law Firm, PC, a criminal defense law firm in San Luis Obispo, CA. Mackenzie and I recently worked on a case together, where her client that she was representing in immigration court needed representation in the San Luis Obispo Superior Court on a criminal matter. Working with Mackenzie and her law firm team members was great. At every step of the criminal case process, they were responsive to my questions, and I could tell that they were doing everything on their end to help our mutual client. Our world benefits greatly by having more passionate, caring advocates like Mackenzie. I appreciated working with her, and her team, and would recommend her to those looking for a great immigration attorney."
