Excellent representation

I was injured in a motorcycle accident where the other party was at fault. The woman that hit me was deeply apologetic but her insurance company (Emu company you know who you are...) was not easy to deal with. Decided to hire an attorney to represent me and was fortunate to find Mary. She did a ...great job of negotiating with the other insurance company (my company was the Flo company and they were great) and I was really relieved to not have to deal with them. Mary got me a much larger settlement than I would have on my own. Mary is also a really nice person and her entire team was really great to work with.

World Class Attorney

There is nothing more difficult on a family than a divorce, which is why we hired Mary Tenn. I believe the greatest skill set that an attorney has is the ability to remove emotion from an otherwise extremely emotional life event to get to the best end resolution. You want an expert, who not only... appreciates those emotional moments, but in a strategic and caring way, will deliver the facts you need for the resolution that you're desiring. Mary took the time to truly understand our family and what was the best outcomes possible. You don't want just anybody to represent what's most important to you. You want someone who is dedicated, passionate about winning, well educated in law, and doing the right thing at all times. That's Mary, in our experience. When you need to win, you need to call Mary Tenn. Mary is the consummate professional, and will provide you the confidence in an otherwise challenging legal environment, to bring you to your desired result. She has what it takes. She has my highest recommendation, with my family's gratitude for all she did for us. Dan H. President/CEO

Brilliant and here is why

There are those times in life when going through a severe crisis, such as a divorce, that want you need is not always what you want. Attorney Mary Tenn just happens to be both. She is one of the most competent, intelligent and compassionate people I have ever met and she is an amazing lawyer. She ...strives to understand the intricacies of your situation to ensure her representation is perfect in pursuit of the desired results. Her handling of opposing counsel is professional and pitch perfect. I have worked with many lawyers locally and abroad and Mary surpasses them in her intellectual capacity and work ethic. Her preparation, insights and highly effective use of some additional experts was masterful. What was most amazing in working with her for over 2 years was her incredible grasp of complex situations and being able to help develop actionable strategies. As a result of her guidance, we were able to develop supportable positons that resulted in settlement and the avoidance of trial. This not only saved considerable money but helped end the emotional toll the case was taking. I highly recommend Attorney Mary Tenn. She is a fierce advocate when necessary and also a strategic counselor. She strives for excellence.

Entirely dedicated to her client's success

Mary Tenn is entirely dedicated to her client’s success. I became embroiled in a difficult partnership dispute that required only the best in legal counsel. Mary was the first person I called. Besides having exceptional legal knowledge, she is tenacious, strategic, and fights for her clients like ...it is the fight of HER life. She dealt with the complexities of my case, quickly sizing up the legal, personal and practical issues. I will be forever grateful. I know the successful outcome in my case was because of Mary’s incredible hard work, her skill in knowing when to push and when to give, and her caring dedication. To have someone so competent and confident in your corner when you are in a crisis is vital. She’s the best.

My Life Line. Honest, Trustworthy, Accountable and Reachable

I was referred to Mary by a trusted friend to represent me in my divorce. I was a successful business owner and my ex-wife hired a high powered attorney. Mary was tough when she needed to be yet very professional. Mary always had a strategic plan, that was tactful and honest. She is a very hard w...orker that is always prepared and reachable. Mary's advice was spot on and pre-pared me for divorce "after life" as well, this advice was critical for me over the past few years (saving / filing / documenting events etc). I can't imagine going through it without someone like Mary on your side , for those reasons I will always refer her to my friends and family.
