Useless

I fired Ms McKee yesterday after 6 months of waiting and requesting a meeting with her. I was patient as she was very busy but became upset with her when she had still not answered my questions asked in December of last year and several times after. She had nothing but excuses every time I spoke with... her. The last time we talked she was going to finally review my file and then call me. When I arrived for our meeting she had still not looked at my file and that was the last straw. Then she tired to blame it on me! I was combative. Right. More abuse from my attorney to add to my ex and my family. Nice work McKee.

Honest and passionate

Upon initial consultation with Martha, I was encouraged to make an agreement with my spouse before leaving and initiating divorce. Martha was passionate for me and defended me well in my negotiations with opposing counsel. She was honest with her guidance and made my separation financially reasonable.... I highly recommend Martha McKee for your prenups, separation and custodial agreements.

Ethical, Highly Competent

Martha has worked with me on a particularly contentious child custody issue. She was extremely knowledgeable, had excellent strategy, and always laid out the possibilities in the case clearly and without pulling any punches. She helped me bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion, however even if... we had lost our case I would have been confident that she had done the best she could.

Martha did exactly what she said she would do. Was happy with the outcome of the child custody.

A true asset of a lawyer

I am so grateful that I met Martha at the time that I did. She helped me during the most stressful and difficult time of my life. I felt supported and cared for. She always made me feel advocated for and I felt that she had me and my son's best interest at heart.
