Mike did everything for us he said he would Mike got my rights as a father I would use him again, he is a person who says what we will do and then follow through absolutely and relentlessly
Michael did a phenomenal job with my divorce. He was very detailed about the whole process And took the time with me . He won my case I would recommend him to anyone. It was a pleasure to do business with him .
Hands down the best and a Godsend! Michael was able to get my case heard, it had been pending for almost 8 years in the court system, and after years of hardship and struggle was granted relocation. This was accomplished through his hard work, dedication, diligence and patients. Very thorough, walked me through expectations for hearings, and gave me the tools I needed to be prepared. He took the time to listen and understand my needs, so he could go in prepared. Would highly recommend Michael, he got things done 2 other previous lawyers couldn’t.
Mike is very accurate. He told me how long my divorce would take and that’s exactly how long it took. He is very professional as well. I highly recommend him.
I hired Mr. Mackhanlall to help me terminate parental rights from biological parent to allow me to adopt my stepson. He was cut and clear from the very beginning. He was there every step of the way. I am a very nervous person and was able to respond to me in a timely manner and walk me through the process to help me with my nerves. In the end we WON our case and it was because he put everything in place to ensure we had a very strong case. He is the best lawyer I have ever worked with and very down to earth ! 100% recommend!
Attorney Mack was patient, reasonable in his fees, aggressive in dealing negatives of the opposing counsel, & caring in handling my situation. He patiently dealt with my anxiety over the case & navigated the difficult areas of my case with grace. Always there to listen & give advice. He under promised & over delivered!! I could not be happier with the results & his professionalism!!
Was referred by a friend and Mike was nothing but straight forward and honest. Great with communications and kept the case stress free. Highly recommend
Mike was amazing! Very thorough but at the same time reassured me that he’d handle everything and to just sit back & continue my life while he did all the back end work. This isn’t the first time my family has needed his help and every time he is more than understanding! He feels for his clients and it shows. Thank you so much.
Mike was wonderful through the whole experience. Very professional and thorough. Would recommend to anyone!
This is my first case with Mr. Mackhanlall and I found him to be very courteous, efficient, knowledgeable and prompt. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE MR. MACKHANLALL. Pando.
