Grays Matter Films consulted Keren on a variety of challenging business issues, ranging from navigating rogue accountants and advising on our Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) with corporate giants. Throughout each complex case, I felt completely supported, understood, and thoroughly counselled. Keren understood small business financial limitations, and we worked within a budget, which is rare and kind.

We engaged with Machanik Attorneys regarding a highly complicated and confidential internal staff matter. Keren was always level-headed, meticulous, and a pleasure to deal with. We would highly recommend their legal services.

OtherWISE Research and Evaluation Donna Podems

I hired Keren as my divorce lawyer because she was the only lawyer (and I interviewed several) who offered a holistic, individual approach. Through careful and thoughtful engagement with me, she tailored my divorce process to meet my specific circumstances, both on a personal and legal level. Throughout the divorce process, Keren provided the perfect mix of legal advice and support, and her strong, confident presence in the process was a godsend.

Machanik Attorneys assisted us with our antenuptial agreement. We were advised with great professionalism and efficiency, and the whole process from start to finish was a streamlined process. I shall definitely engage Machanik Attorneys' services again and certainly recommend them – without hesitation!
