I have devoted my career to protecting people’s legal rights. There is an unfortunate trend that those who have the most to lose in our legal system are often the ones least likely to have the benefit of professional legal assistance.. I started the McKenzie Law Firm to provide legal solutions to people who want a secure plan for their financial future, but who feel as though professional legal advice may still be beyond their reach. I specialize in estate planning and advising people on small business issues. As a father of four and a business owner, I know that time and money are often in short supply. I also know how overwhelming it can seem to properly address all the responsibilities you have in your day-to-day life. As a lawyer, however, I also know what can be lost if things are not handled correctly. I am here to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.. Prior to starting the McKenzie Law Firm, I spent a decade working as a trial lawyer, helping individuals recover compensation for harm done to them by the fraud, carelessness, and failure of businesses and government agencies to live up to their legal obligations and responsibilities. In that role, I engaged in all types of litigation, including class actions, mass torts, and complicated commercial cases. I am licensed in Colorado and Illinois, and have handled cases in state and federal courts around the country.

I am an Estate Planning Attorney & Mom of Three and I absolutely LOVE what I do. Helping families ensure that their loved ones are adequately protected is my passion, and I feel so lucky to be able to guide my clients through the process..

I'm a recovered litigator, dog lover, avid theater-goer and Denver native.  An avid mystery reader as a kid, I originally wanted to be a PI, then a cop.  When I was twelve, I decided I wanted to be on the safe side of the law and become a lawyer when I knew the answer to a contract question posed by John Houseman in the movie "The Paper Chase.". I spent the first ten years of my career doing litigation, bankruptcy, banking, troubled real estate and business matters.  But, as my mother said, I'm really a social worker with a law degree - estate planning and administration is what I love!  I enjoy talking to clients about their family, their values and their desires in order to provide strong, flexible, compassionate and creative solutions for their estate plans.  I also can make the difficult task of dealing with a loved one's things after they pass on as easy on you as possible.  And my extensive background in commercial litigation, bankruptcy, banking, and troubled real estate, gives me the tools and knowledge to handle any financial issues that may arise along the way.
