An IRS audit of my 2019 return began in June 2022 and expanded to include tax year 2020 as well. I am a tax preparer and initially chose an Enrolled Agent I know to represent me. But as the audit expanded, the EA felt that I would be better represented by an attorney. Hurley, Toevs, Styles, Hamblin & Panter, PA was recommended to me, and Manny Talwar at The Hurley Firm took my case. I was impressed by Mr. Talwar's research into the tax law and regulations behind the audit, and his dogged but patient efforts in navigating my case for almost 18 months through two IRS revenue agents and an appeal. He also effectively communicated with the Taxpayer Advocate Service. Mr. Talwar successfully appealed the deficiency notice to the IRS Office of Appeals. The entire amount due (over $40,000 including interest and penalties), was overturned by the Appeals Officer based on precedence cited by Mr. Talwar. The successful outcome of this case was entirely due to Manny Talwar's efforts. — Client 02/13/2024 |

I hired Greg Mackenzie to represent our complicated estate. Greg is one of the best lawyers I know. He has an extensive knowledgeable of the trust and estate laws, and a brilliant litigator. His forward thinking and understanding of complicated and contentious situations helped us to settle and close the estate. Without Greg's assistance we would never have come to resolution. I highly recommend Greg MacKenzie, and the Hurley Law firm — Client 04/07/2023 |

We hired Greg to help us defend our non-profit in a case where the family challenged the beneficiary designation in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). The case took over two years to settle but Greg was diligent in defense of our case and was instrumental in helping us achieve a fair settlement. His knowledge of the law that pertained to our case was outstanding and Greg and his staff were very responsive in communicating with us. I would recommend his to anyone or or any non-profit who might be fascinf a similar dilema. — Client 08/17/2022 |

I have been involved in several litigated matters with Ms. Devarakonda involving multiple parties. She was always meticulous and diligent in her representation. Her dealings with opposing counsel were professional and straight-forward. I view her as a positive model for new attorneys. — Peer 05/16/2019 |

I worked with Lalita Devarakonda on a very challenging case – defense against a mentally ill plaintiff. She excels in client communication and collaboration and knowledge of estate law. We strategized together then this was turned into crystal clear, point by point arguments and documents. Ultimately we prevailed in this case and that was due to her experience, dedication and determination. I would recommend Ms. Devarakonda to anyone who needs a very strong and capable attorney. — Client 03/12/2019 |

Greg is very thorough with his cases. He went the extra mile to make sure I was protected in every way... as a trustee, I found you are scrutinized from every angle. I had a fairly complex situation and Greg made sure the proper consultants were brought in the mix. He thinks well on his feet and knows his area backwards and forwards. He saved the case by his quick thinking and knowledge base. The outcome of my case could have easily been different had I not had him on board. — Client 09/09/2018 |

Greg is not only intelligent in his perception and response to his clients situation, he is above all ruled by compassion and the greater good for which law is meant to serve. I cannot imagine anyone who is better educated and experienced to assist in times of crisis. Greg is fair. His time spent goes well beyond what he charges. Greg has a very high standard of service to his client. His morals and ethics guide his every decision within what is right for the client. — Client 04/16/2018 |

I have been working with the team of Greg Mackenzie and Lalita Devarakonda in litigation for a year. They have exceeded my expectations at every step. Both are excellent attorneys. Both, as individuals, care about the outcome. Each brings different experience and strengths, thus doubling the expertise brought to the case. They are smart, strategic and invested - everything you want and need in litigation. My highest recommendation for both of them. — Client 01/27/2018 |

I worked with Lalita for a year on an estate issue/beneficiary dispute. She understood the case and what I wanted out of it. She explained things in a way that I could easily understand. She listened to my thoughts, and shared her own when she disagreed. We were sandbagged, nothing either of us could have anticipated. We were forced to settle prematurely and for much less than I wanted, but she pivoted appropriately and helped me get a settled twice as large as I had at that point expected. — Client 01/26/2018 |

Greg MacKenzie and his associates were highly recommended to assist me in a will contest. From the moment I met Greg, I was reassured that my case was in experienced and capable hands. He understands probate litigation well, but most importantly was invaluable in helping me to put emotions aside (albeit momentarily) and deal with the facts of the case. Greg and his staff helped me get through a very emotional and challenging situation. I would highly recommend this firm. — Client 07/12/2015 |

Greg MacKenzie is knowledgeable and proficient in his practice of law. In addition, his integrity, which was of primary importance to me, gave me complete confidence in the way he handled my case. We were successful in the District Court and the District Court rulings withstood appeals to the NM Appeals Court and NM Supreme Court. — Client 03/03/2014 |
