I have to agree with the opinion that she yields to senior lawyers as she did with my case. I felt in my opinion that she was not strong enough when anything was to be pushed in my favor. We didn't go to court but the settlement was a nightmare.. she acted like my ex's lawyers buddy..almost like trying to impress the other lawyer.. I felt rail-roaded (While waiting for lawyers to negotiate I got up from the table in settlement room and opened her office door to see opposing councel sitting in my lawyers chair drafting agreement and IMHO it looked like my lawyer was be schooled. I should have terminated right then and there.. later it was said to me that if I wanted a divorce.. she can do that.) Getting a divorce was the goal but what I really needed at the time was a lawyer to stand firm and protect my interest. I specifically asked her if she could handle opposing council to which was confirmed. I was mortified when all said and done. After settlement I was dropped. I felt alone.

I have worked with Michelle off and on for several years and found her to be fantastic. I would go so far as calling her a friend now even though I have only interacted on a professional basis.

I spoke in anger in my previous comment and would like to back pedal a bit. I completed my trial representing my self and won. I have to give Michelle credit for the affidavit that she helped me compose and filing all the necessary court documents. Without it, I would not have been as successful. I would have liked it if she was more flexible with payment options so that I wouldn't have gone through the stress of self representation.

Thank you Michelle! Effective, educated cross-examiner, leaves her mark. Just be human as a client, and she'll have your back.

My husband and I have watched Ms. MacKay in action for a while and our respect for her - both her person and her ability as a lawyer - has grown by leaps and bounds! She is honest, very knowledgeable, caring, hard working, and direct in her approach. Should you need a family lawyer, we highly recommend Michelle MacKay!

I'm in the middle of it right now, trial COQB. Michelle's been my representative for over 2 years, I am posting this review 2 days into a 4 day trial which is a 4-year summation of events. Say what you want, as I will here. It has been incredibly expensive. Nothing comes cheap in family law. It takes two (client, me-lawyer-Michelle) to make a team. I am very glad, and very lucky I would say, to have Michelle representing me right now, and again I say this prior to the outcome. The review is less dependent on the outcome its about attention paid in an unbeleiveably difficult convoluted case. Michelle has in my case more understanding of what is going on that I do, and I have lived the experience. Like I said, it takes two (client-solicitor) to make a team. Michelle has done more than I expected she would be able to in my case thus far.

It did not seem that she was always doing things in my best interest. She never forwarned me of how things could go wrong and they always did seem to go wrong..I never felt that she was fighting for me just giving in to whatever happened. We had communications issues with each other . I found her communications with the other lawyer loosly worded.She could not advise the best course of action when we got into a bind. Her case preparation and presentation was good.My case was difficult.

I'm not impressed with this lawyer. I have had her for approximately 1 year, spent $20,000. I feel she backs down to senior lawyers and doesn't request or stand up for my needs and forgets who this is all about, a child.

Would not recommend Michelle MacKay unless either you have lots of money or want to spend lots of money.

I am very dissatisfied with Ms. Mackay's performance. My expectation was a timely and fair matrimonial settlement. After more than a year of stalling and billing me for activities that had little value, I felt the settlement very one-sided. My ex got 50% of my assets after a short term marriage (no children and minimal financial contribution). The expression "gave away the farm" best describes how my case was conducted.

Misses key componenents, very partial to the female side, not willing to fight for what is right for the family, gets pushed around very easily by more senior lawyers
