Very bad attorney !

From the beginning she did what she wanted when she wanted. Even after I explained in detail things that needed to be done. The only thing I could count on from her, was the phrase "pay me". Eventually she withdrew from the case. And yes they can do that. After questioning a bill she withdrew from th...e case. Got the notice from her almost a month later she was withdrawing.

Only Attorney you should hire

Attorney Kilgus, has been working for me on various cases such as, custody, divorce, among other various ones, for many years. Kilgus, gets the job done. She is exceptionally knowledgeable in her field, as she has many degrees and has countless years working as an Attorney. I really loved tha...t she worked for the DAs office and fought for so many victims and how she presents herself at trial. Kilgus, is very confident in the court room, prepared, and she knows what to say and not to. She cares and ensures to take the time in preparing her client and witnesses if for trials to be prepared. If you need a divorce, custody or criminal attorney I highly recommend going with Attorney Kilgus, Mary for exceptional results. You will not be disappointed!

Ms

Never even took the time to get to know my situation thoroughly. Told me that “it pissed her off when women from abusive situations said they still loved their husbands because she is a feminist. They should just leave”. She told me in our consultation not to worry about the cost or payments, she wou...ld be getting paid from “him”. Then hounded me for payment knowing I didn’t have the ability to pay until I received support payments and consistent pay checks. Then left me hanging in the middle of my bitter divorce without representation. If you are in need of a caring, thorough, efficient, and effective attorney, look elsewhere.

Estate Litigation

I hired Mary and her staff to litigate an estate matter for my family. She was extremely qualified and aggressive, and things settled quickly. She returned my phone calls and emails either that same day or early the next day. I recommend her office for any difficult matter.
