When facing the daunting task of not only getting divorced; but, having to hire a lawyer, most people don’t know the “lay of the land”. Perhaps this will even be the first time the person has hired a lawyer. Unfortunately, in this geographic area (Manatee County) we know of lawyers who require family law/divorce clients to provide a “non-refundable retainer”.

For over 30 years, Mackey Law Group has been winning for its clients, who are the people of Manatee and Sarasota Counties, including businesses and even other law firms. In early 1991, Catherine Mackey went out on her own and started Mackey Law Group.

Rather than spending tens of thousands of dollars advertising on billboards, the back of buses, and obnoxious commercials to get business, Mackey Law Group’s personal injury clients come exclusively from client referrals and/or other attorneys in our community.

If you find yourself involved in a motorcycle accident, you should immediately do a few things: obviously, make sure your injuries are being treated, take pictures of the scene, get copies of the police report, and call an experienced lawyer. And, never give a follow-up “recorded statement” to an insurance adjuster or agent.

Our initial consults usually last no more than an hour. In that time, we let our clients know where they stand and where we can take them in a divorce/family law proceeding. If you have already been to another lawyer or if you have even hired another lawyer and don’t think you’ve got the right-one on your side, schedule a consult with us; if you don’t, you could be going into a divorce gunfight-of-a-trial with a lawyer who draws water-pistols.

Don’t settle for a bad case analysis by a lawyer, no matter how “old and respected” the law firm is. Good trial lawyers are few and far between. Here at Mackey Law Group we are in the courtrooms of this state all the time. We know the law and we know how to win.

Too often people choose to represent themselves in court in order to save money, or because they believe that their issue is “simple”. This often leads to disastrous results. Without the aid of an attorney, you may be unable to meet all the technical requirements to prove your case or fail to realize you could have “gone for more”.

Being able to go into court with an attorney you can understand is, unfortunately, a luxury in our State. But we at Mackey Law Group are able provide such a service to our clients all the time in that two of our lawyers are fluent in Spanish. If you need legal services in Spanish, call us today.

Here at Mackey Law Group, our lawyers don’t just say we handle complex litigation, we do it all the time and we win!  

Nowadays, most lawyers/law-firms have glitzy websites and espouse that their lawyers are “trial lawyers” and represent that their lawyers have great winning loss  records. In many instances, nothing could be further from the truth.

Here at Mackey Law Group P.A., we understand the importance of communicating directly with our clients. This is why we offer legal services in Spanish as well as English. If you are in need of an attorney who speaks Spanish I, Jorge Martinez, will assist you personally. No one should have to settle for an attorney they are unable to communicate with.
