"I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Mackey for a few months, and during that time, I appreciated his integrity. When he faced challenges in meeting his obligations, he thoughtfully returned my retainer in full. It showed a great deal of respect for our agreement and his commitment to doing the right thing."

"Do not recommend. Paralegal left half way into my case. Went over retained and demanded money when over promising and finalizing documents. Several missed meetings, pushed off calls and left my case."

"I owe this law office more than I can ever repay them. They took a bad situation another local lawyer put me in and saved my family. It was a tough task but I cannot believe the job these guys did. Jorge, Peter, Cathy and the team reunited me with my children and saved my family. I’ve recommended them to friends and colleagues since and they’ve helped them do the same. Unbelievable job!!"
