I’ve never really participated on writing reviews but I feel that this one is a must to do as I was very pleased with their service. Miss Lilian Mckenzie was the one that helped me with my divorce and when I sold my home. I was very happy with the outcome . Not only she is intelligent she is also attentive, compassionate and easy to talk too. I filed my divorce paper with her in January and by May Igot my divorce certificate. A big lift off my shoulder. Her price was very reasonable too., thats why I asked her to look after the selling of my home and that’s done in a peaceful manner as well. Her assistant Elsa is great too. Every person that answers the phone in her office is very helpful. Therefore I highly recommend that with any legal matter call Lilian from Visionary Law. THANK YOU SO MUCH LILIAN AND ELSA!!!!!!!!

Back in December 2017, when no one agreed to take my case, just because I was out of town. I came across Visionary Law Firm via internet. I requested for consultation, which shed half of my burden when they told me there is no problem being out of town. I desperately needed divorce because being in that relationship was troubling my mental health. Kylee, Elsa & Lillian helped me a lot a lot! legally & emotionally as well. They listened to me very carefully, which I much needed that time. I’d like to Thank the team for getting me out of the mess so easily. I really really appreciate the co-operation & all the work they did for me, saving me the trips as well. I’d highly recommend Visionary Law Firm for the people who need someone to help in their legal matters without the excess stress. Thanks once again guys!

I would like to thank you Lillian and staff at Visionary Law for the assistance though a time of transition in my life. When I spoke with Lillian I immediately felt comfortable and secure. I felt she was looking out for my best interest. I have dealt with Lawyers in the past but never felt the honesty, directness also having compassion like I did with Lillian. In the future if I have a issue I will certainly call Lillian. I highly recommend Lillian Mackenzie as a Lawyer.

First off I just want to say thank you to Lillian and her team. I could not be happier with how she handled my case. Having Lillian helping me made this hard and difficult time so much easier. The correspondence with the message board was a great help and easy to use. The communication between the firm and my self was great. Lillian is a very dedicated worker she took this as serious as I did. You know she cares about what she does. I honestly have no negative feed back as everything was done in a timely matter and got exactly what I was going for. Thank you again Lillian for helping me and my family.

Lillian is a smart, informative and honest lawyer. She has a wealth of knowledge and takes the time to explain things for you. Lillian took care of my separation agreement and divorce. During that difficult time, she was there when I needed her most. Although lawyers can be expensive, Lillian is definitely worth it and not to mention, things are being handled properly. I would recommend Lillian to anyone!
