Taking Back the Power for the Defense
Spurred by a passion for the juvenile justice system and inspiration from a long-time mentor, Ms. MacGregor became an attorney to do her part to balance out the inequities between the State and the defense. Too often Ms. MacGregor has seen the State and prosecution use its power to steamroll defendants or allow them to get lost in the shuffle of the system. She believes that everyone, regardless of guilt or innocence, is entitled to an aggressive and competent defense. To that end, she is consistently hard working and holds herself to the highest standards for her legal services and client interaction. Along with Criminal Defense, Ms. MacGregor also practices Family Law and defends Child Protective Services cases; as she find oftentimes these areas of law go hand in hand.
