Posted by Adam | May 15, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Mary Jane Leland is a great attorney and I want to highly recommend her services to others. She cares and looks out for the best interests of her clients. Be wary of larger law firms with big marketing budgets that take tens of thousands of dollars of your money and do not deliver. As soon as Mary Ja...ne took over my mother’s divorce case, we saw immediate results. MJ seems to work around the clock and is easily accessible by email and telephone. She is extremely hardworking, organized, and intelligent. We are able settle the divorce and avoid a long and costly trial. Thank you Mary Jane for all your hard work!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
