Vogel Law Firm is proud to announce that attorney MacKenzie Hertz has been selected as one of the region’s “40 Under 40” honorees by Prairie Business magazine.
MacKenzie, a shareholder in our Fargo office, serves as Chair of the firm’s Employment and Labor Practice Group and maintains a robust practice in employment law and litigation. She advises employers on issues ranging from discrimination, harassment, retaliation, employee relations, policy drafting, wage-hour disputes, non-compete agreements, and other federal and state employment matters. In litigation, she represents clients in both state and federal courts, with a reputation as a zealous trial lawyer and an effective appellate advocate.
Before joining Vogel, MacKenzie served as a judicial clerk for federal courts, experience that gives her unique insight into federal court procedure and strategy.
She graduated with High Distinction from the University of Nebraska College of Law, after earning her undergraduate degree magna cum laude from the University of Jamestown. During law school, she served as Executive Editor of the Nebraska Law Review and competed nationally on the Moot Court team. She was elected to the Order of the Coif and the Order of the Barristers in recognition of her academic and advocacy achievements.
Originally from a farming family in Mott, North Dakota, MacKenzie brings Midwestern values of hard work and community-mindedness to her practice. Outside of work, she enjoys basketball, the outdoors, and spending time with family, friends, and her husband, Ryan.
This recognition reflects Vogel Law Firm’s continuing commitment to cultivating talented legal professionals who serve clients with excellence and positively impact our communities. We are honored to celebrate MacKenzie’s accomplishments and look forward to her future contributions on behalf of our clients and region.
