It was just over two years ago when I was hit with one of the biggest changes in my life. I had been married for 17 years, had two beautiful children, was 12 years away from paying off my home and, due to an unfortunate work accident, had just started a new business, when my wife asked for a divorce. Needless to say, this was one of the most difficult times of my life. I had no idea where to begin or how to protect my interests. Mary was there for me throughout the process and has been there for me since. She counseled me on what needed to be revised regarding the proposed documents and explained, through examples, the need for such changes. She consistently listened to my concerns and validated me. She looked after my future interests, not only as a divorced person, but also as a father and a financial provider. She continues to look out for my personal and familial interests and has represented me fairly and equitably during one of the hardest times of my life. I recommend her, without reservation, and have done so to family and friends.

I was going through a divorce a year ago and started out with another attorney. He was not staying in touch with me and was charging me a lot of money, I knew something had to change. I found Mary's office on the way to my son's school and decided to call her. Right away, I found myself talking to a person that showed she cared about my well-being, along with the case. My husband was very stubborn about giving up things, and she dealt with everything that his lawyer was throwing at us in a timely manner. Having a child involved didn't help the situation either. One thing that I liked is that she kept me informed about everything that was happening and she advised me on what things I should negotiate and what to stay firm on. She was very fast on responding to the other lawyer's requests and she made all the "legal stuff" understandable to me. Altogether, I would highly recommend her. She's the best lawyer that I've worked with. With her, you are not alone. She works with you as a team.

Over the years, Mary has handled several matters for me. She is professional, thorough, straightforward and responsive. She has the ability to explain difficult legal concepts in a way that makes it easier for me to determine my options and to make important decisions. I trust her work and her ethics. I recommend her without hesitation to my friends and family. She recently handled my sister's divorce.
