Mary worked with me over several years through a very complex high-conflict custody case with unique legal challenges including difficult opposing counsel and multiple jurisdictional problems. Her ability to research and present statutory and case law strengthened our case until eventually the opposing party had little to argue in court that she could not competently counter with established precedent. I would highly recommend her for high-conflict custody cases or unique cases presenting legal issues not normally seen in juvenile and domestic relations court.

Mary was very helpful for me in getting custody of my daughter. Her preparation for court was very impressive and I’m glad I hired her as my lawyer. She was very personal and compassionate. Would hire again if needed, and highly recommend.

Easy for me to work with, and diligent in getting details and documentation from my former spouse. Clear explanation of process and our strategy, and she was responsive to my questions and concerns. Personable and compassionate. Would hire again if needed, and highly recommend.

Mary reviewed the prenuptial agreement my fiancee and I had drafted from a mediator. She provided excellent support to me - she answered questions thoroughly and in a timely fashion, proved to be very detail-oriented catching many errors, and ensured I understood the consequences of what I planned to sign (or not). She also was kind and personable. I would hire her again if needed, and highly recommend.
