Why People Choose UsOur clients come to us because they trust us. They trust our judgement. The top quality legal advice you receive here is due to our team approach. "The law is complex and changing all the time" says Fiona Mackenzie. "It's simply not possible to know everything about every topic. However, the pool of knowledge and expertise we have here means that collectively we've got all the bases very well covered."
The Family Law team team came third nationally in the 2010 New Zealand Law Awards for excellence in client service. The award was judged on voting and feedback from clients. Some of the comments made by our clients included: "All staff members that I had anything to do with in Mackenzie Elvin provided exceptional service. They were competent, innovative, professional, honest and polite. They had a way of empathising with clients' positions which was better than any service I have ever received before. I have recommended them highly to many other people." "Our situation has been exceedingly complex and the advice and action supplied by Mackenzie Elvin has been thorough and aligns with our values".
Mackenzie Elvin's HistoryIn the early 1980s FA Mackenzie was established. In 1998 Fiona was joined by her husband Graeme Elvin, a well established commercial lawyer, to form "Mackenzie Elvin". Later that same year Marcus Wilkins joined the practice and the partnership grew. |
