Mackenzie & Mackenzie Lawyers

Trust

Our first focus in our firm philosophy is on integrity and trust. A solid lawyer-client relationship can’t exist in the absence of trust; therefore, we strive every day to foster trust that leads to a productive and mutually beneficial lawyer-client relationship. While we work daily to build trust with our clients, we also strive to maintain our good reputation and trust with opposing counsel and the tribunals before which we appear. We believe that by promoting professionalism and civility in all aspects of our legal representation, mutual respect and trust allow us to advocate effectively for our clients.

Service

Our firm philosophy is also based on clear communication and prompt service. We provide sound solutions to our clients’ legal problems in an efficient manner. We have a dedicated team of professionals that understands your needs. Your needs come first in our client focused culture.

Commitment

Lastly, in our firm philosophy, we are guided by the commitment to represent our clients zealously in the most cost effective manner, without sacrificing quality. To that end, we strive to be proactive, not reactive. In order to fulfill our philosophy, we are committed to make an early determination of the merits of each case in order to decide how a matter should be resolved. We realize that not every case should be settled, nor should every case be tried. By focusing on the commitment to provide sound advice and counsel on specific needs, we can offer solutions that make business sense.

Family legal issues can often be painful; our team are here to relieve some of that burden. Our collaborative approach puts you and your dependents needs first, allowing you to focus on moving forward.

Employment Law

We act for employees who have been wrongfully dismissed or discriminated against in the workplace. If you have questions, please give us a call.

Wills & Estates

You want to leave your estate to your loved ones. You want to ensure that all contingencies are covered. You want to leave a clearly worded Will.
