Mr. MacKenzie and his office did an excellent job. He was specific in details and expectations. His office was very responsive to our questions and always treated us with respect and even a little humor! He kept us on track in a very stormy situation!
Awesome work. The other parent took our son and vanished. The Mackenize Law Firm (Hi Kevin!) helped through this entire ordeal.
Stuart is a steadfast attorney who knows how to get things done. To say my case is complicated is an understatement, he’s never failed to proceed with my best interests.
It will be appreciated if we can have the office address somewhere outside on the building, it took me almost 30mins to locate the very giant building during my first visit. Thanks
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 available 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.
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?
When I first came to Stuart I was in a very difficult situation, leaving a violent relationship. He has helped me with getting a restraining order, and we just finalized the divorce and custody case and I got everything that I was hoping for and more. Stuart helped me to find my voice in the court system so that the judge, mediator, and everyone else I had to deal with actually HEARD me and what I had been going through. There were a lot of lies told about me by my ex and he was also trying to deny a lot of what had happened, however, Stuart helped me stand strong through all of that and we ended up completely successful. Thanks Stuart! I also wanted to thank his office staff who were a great help through the entire process as well.
Stuart MacKenzie is a man of integrity. He is honest, trustworthy, very knowledgeable, very sharp and "doesn't miss a beat" with pertinent details/issues. Without a doubt and based on my experience so far, I would highly recommend Stuart MacKenzie, He will advocate for you and fully represent you as a partner in your own divorce case.
Stuart was recommended to me by a good friend, he handled my case, which was difficult, very well. .
Stuart MacKenzie has been my lawyer for 6 years. I have been in a long divorce, mostly struggling to collect Child Support. He has been very caring and supportive and is able to present the case very clearly. What I like best about him is his willingness to allow me to do a lot of the investigative work myself, which is what I like to do, and then he puts it all together in a format that can be presented in Court. He is very experienced at what he does yet he is still one of the more reasonably priced Lawyers around. Great combination of nice person and sharp Lawyer.
