I had the pleasure of hiring Mary Higdon as my attorney for a few misdemeanors I encountered while I was attending IU. She is unbelievably responsive - When this happened, I gave her a panicked phone call on a Sunday afternoon (Outside of business hours) and she was able to pick up and assure me I was going to be OK over the phone before meeting with her in person. When we first met, I asked her why she got into law in the first place, and I was answered with a genuine story from past experience on the mistreatments of defendants. Over the course of the case, I could tell immediately that story was the truth because she did everything she could to help me in my case, reduce the sentence, make sure I was being treated fairly, and able to support myself while the trial was ongoing. Here I am a year later, truly pleased with the outcome of my case, which is my I am writing this review. If you want a lawyer who ACTUALY cares about her defendants and will listen to what you're saying, provide a great plan of action, and frequently check-in with you; even when there is no need, go with Mary Higdon. I'm thankful to have found her while I was living in Bloomington.

Ms Higdon was expectional in her follow through and client service to resolve the issue amicably.

Mary Higdon is very thorough, congenial, and highly communicative with those she represents. She presents the case she is representing in the best possible light. A true credit to the profession.

Mary is an excellent attorney! I live in another state but needed an attorney to handle a case for me in Indiana. On a whim, I called Mary. She took the time to listen to all of the details of my case, quickly pulled the records, reviewed them, and called me back. From day one she told me that she believed she could get it dismissed and that she would strive to make that happen. She kept in regular contact with me, letting me know each time she spoke with the county attorney and each new piece of information she discovered. She was incredibly professional, but also very friendly throughout. Indeed, within a couple of months, she was able to get the case dismissed without me ever needing to return to central Indiana. I would highly recommend Mary - she clearly knows what she is doing and does it very well! She works on her client's behalf to ensure she gets them the best result possible and as quickly as possible.

Mary was excellent in everything she did for my grandson. She knows the legal system in Bloomington, and you can tell she has an excellent relationship with the courts. She was always available and quickly followed up with all tasks which made the process much easier. She was always encouraging and extremely easy to communicate and correspond with. I highly recommend her!

Mary is an excellent lawyer. She assisted me in getting a hit and run case dismissed. She is easy to speak to and explains things clearly. First time I have ever hired a lawyer for anything and it was a good experience — despite the need for a lawyer in general. She made sure everything was always taken care of and went above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommended.

I am so happy I chose Mary to represent me in my case. She made me feel extremely comfortable with the whole situation. She also got my charge down to a lower charge. She was always easy to contact and always made sure I was okay with what was happening. I definitely would recommend Mary to anyone who needs a great lawyer. I don’t know what I would’ve done without her.

I hired Mary to expedite and resolve a case pending a charge. She was professional, personable, and prompt which eased my anxieties throughout the process. Because of her knowledge and quick action I was able to say my case was a “no charge.” I highly recommend Mary to anyone in need of someone who will take action for you to ensure the best possible outcome for theiyou case. She is affordable and knows the system better than any lawyer I have hired previously. Because of Mary I am able to move forward positively with my life and know that there are still good people that will fight for you (she is one of them).
