While working directly with clients as an attorney volunteer for California Rural Legal Assistance (CRLA), he was able to experience first-hand how legal knowledge and a bit of empathy can make a real difference in a person’s life. CRLA and its mission—“to fight for justice and individual rights…”—created an ideal foundation for Mr. Mackenzie’s Workers’ Compensation practice.
