The attorneys at MacKenzie & Associates provide the highest quality legal services possible, drawing on more than 25-years of experience handling domestic law and other legal disputes.  We have faced nearly every issues imaginable as part of a divorce or other family law proceeding.  Our office has represented clients in

• The preparation and interpretation of pre-marital agreements
• Dissolution of marriage in both contested and uncontested divorces
• Paternity actions and stepparent adoptions
• Domestic violence and restraining orders
• Child custody and visitation as well as guardianship proceedings
• Child & spousal support
• Mediation
• Property division
• Modification and enforcement of domestic orders, including contempt proceedings for violations

While most of our clients will resolve their disputes with their spouses without the need for a trial, experience has taught us that many of our clients take comfort in the fact that their attorney has often been in court before and has trial experience.  In addition, they know that we have experience with some of the lesser-known matters including:

• Discovery and tracing of hidden income and assets
• Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA) actions affecting child custody and interstate jurisdiction
• High asset divorce, including valuation and distribution of closely held businesses
• Valuation of retirement accounts, 401(k) plans, pensions, stocks and bonds and stock options
• Valuation of professional degrees and professional licenses, and complex custody situations.

Financially-sensitive issues are no problem for our firm given the educational background of Mr. MacKenzie.  In addition, as appropriate, in cases involving high-asset divorces or other complex family law litigation, our attorneys work closely with accountants, actuaries and other financial experts to analyze complex financial issues and develop strategies to maximize our clients’ best interests.
