Mary took great care of my case and I was awarded everything I was seeking in court. Her court presence and preparation were excellent. I would highly recommend her. She's caring and whip smart. Great combination for a family law attorney.

I used Mary Katherine In 2010 and since then have had to use her on and off for a coulpe things after my divorce. She was wonderful to work with and always did what she said. She understands this is a difficult time even after the final divorce and walks me through what I need to do. She is very understanding and when going through these difficult times she makes it alot easier. She is very prompt and gets things done in a timely matter. I always recieve a phone call back when I leave a message. I have referred several friends and family to her and they have all been very happy. With my job I deal with attorneys all the time and by far I feel she is one of a kind!!!

Mary Katherine is a strong advocate to have. Knowledgeable, caring, yet firm, she is an asset during such a difficult process. Very responsive, informative, and pro-active in both her short and long-view of outcomes. High recommended.

Mary Katherine is an exceptional lawyer, being an experienced litigator and compassionate advisor. My divorce, as most, was emotionally distressful. I needed a strong advocate that was sensitive to my suffering because clearly I had lost perspective. I was not able to make sound decisions and I needed a trusted partner. The thing I most appreciated about Mary is that she is a tough negotiator and relentless advocate, yet at the same time understands how difficult divorce is and was able to provide compassion when needed. I had a very difficult divorce and she was able to draw on past experiences and provide sound advice. In my situation, my ex and his lawyer were trying to muscle me into a situation that wasn't equitable, Mary was able to provide the backbone to reset the playing field. She was up to the complex task of unraveling the financial, emotional and family issues. She kept my interest, and that of my children, at the forefront. It was that incredible combination of being able to advocate to protect and win, yet be a supporter to me. I find this a rare combination and for that reason I would highly recommend her to guide you through this difficult time.
