A great law firm located in the heart of Downtown Poughkeepsie. Very skilled team of employees who work and research hard on clients behalf. Also firm is engaged in the community representing several local non for profits. If you have any type of legal need I highly recommend this firm.

Josh and his team are awesome. Very honest and up front. On the onset I could see that they try to build long term relationships with their clients. I found that very refreshing as I try to do the same. Not only has Josh helped me out with my own contracts and business needs but I have recommended several of my own clients to his firm and I always had great feed back with my referrals. There are very few people or businesses that I would personally refer, but I definitely reccomend Makey, Butts & Wise, LLP.

In this ever changing busy real estate market it’s important to have an attorney who is knowledgeable and responsive. I highly recommend Mackey Butts & Wise for all your real estate needs. Mackey Butts & Wise is an invaluable resource when it comes to closing a sale, expertly guiding you along the way. Their attention to detail and knowledge on sometimes complex issues is unsurpassed.

I recommend Josh and his firm to anyone in need of a professional, honest and caring attorney (yes they do exist). He has been our attorney for almost 10 years and we have never looked back. His expertise and guidance has helped us navigate multiple business and personal affairs.

Laura was a fantastic lawyer, she represented me and 3 other coworkers in a work related case. She was informative, answered emails and phone calls in a timely manner, and fought for what was best for us. She was very knowledgeable and understanding of the laws and procedures. Highly recommend using her!

Laura is by far the most professional, caring and talented attorney I have ever worked with ! She not only offered the best legal advise possible , but delivered an outcome that was exactly as expected. I would highly recommend Laura in any matter and know she is going to represent you with the highest integrity. Her demeanor and compassion regarding my case was also very much appreciated. She made me feel that I was her most important case . Again a true professional in every way .

Mackey, Butts and Wise have become one of the premier law firms of the Hudson Valley assisting with personal and business legal counseling. I highly recommended MBW as they consistently deliver on complex transactions and know how to treat their clients.

We came to Laura to help us deal with a case revolving around former tenants who we had to evict, due to failure to pay rent for several months. Unfortunately, after they move out, we found that they also destroyed the entire house. While it wasn't personal to her, she made it clear that she understood how deeply personal it was to us. I knew right away that Laura wanted to do everything in her power to help us. Laura is very professional, smart, and doesn't mind the details. Throughout the case, as with many cases, there were moments when we were exhausted by the process. Laura on the other hand was steady the entire way. She never wavered from her desire to fight for us, to achieve the best outcome. She is calm, always listened carefully, tried to understand the complexities involved and cared very much about her work and us, as her clients. Personally, I found Laura to be a very easy person to talk with. Ask any question and she will either have the answer or go to work on getting that answer. She doesn't feed you a bunch of words that she thinks you want to hear. Instead, she aims to tell you the possibilities both good and bad. Her honesty is refreshing. Her in-depth knowledge of the law is broad and valuable. And her experience with mediation and negotiation, lends itself beautifully to the work she does. Sadly, our case was overseen by a judge that simply couldn't or wouldn't make decisions. He sat on his bench swaying back and forth on his thoughts, based on whim and not much on reason. His preference was simply to make attorneys work it out, outside of his courtroom. He wasn't willing to do what a judge is appointed to do - make a judgement. However, while this was frustrating and more than challenging, Laura rose to the occasion, time and time again. She was always very prepared to argue our side, with proof and she refuted any rebuttals from the other attorney with ease. She worked tirelessly within the courtroom and outside of the courtroom on our behalf. In the end, Laura made sure that we got the very best results possible. We are eternally grateful for meeting Laura and will return to work with her again, should we need the help! We highly recommend Laura Wong-Pan.

Thank you to this attorney for representing my daughter at a school disciplinary proceeding. She was careful and thorough and explained everything well and we are pleased with how it went.

Attorney Wong Pan was professional and efficient in handling my case. She exhibited extreme knowledge regarding real estate law as it pertained to my situation. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
