Maren Tallent Funk

Maren was highly recommended to me by a friend who also went through a divorce, and I couldn't have been happier that I hired her. In my first meeting she listened to my "story" and needs as it pertained to my custody arrangement and future financial predicament. She thoroughly explained the lega...l process and answered the MANY questions I had throughout this process. She drew up the original separation agreement papers and handled all communications with the opposing attorney in a timely manor, and I was never left wondering where I stood in my case. From beginning to end, Maren championed my cause with every conflict that arose and was my voice of reason when my emotions were getting the best of me. When it came time to signing papers, Maren thought of every scenario possible and reworded the documents to make sure there were no discrepancies. She knows her stuff! Divorce is something I wouldn't wish on anyone, but if you're going to have to do it... you want Maren representing you!

I was incredibly blessed to have Maren as my attorney over the last few years dealing with an extremely contentious and drawn out custody and child support case. My Ex Husband and I had a pretty straight forward custody agreement in place and I had already relocated out of state years prior. I was ...3000 miles away in a different state and bombarded with an onslaught of attorney letters and emails from my Ex threatening to file for everything from switching holiday schedule and child support (which he paid none) to full custody. Maren was able to step in and cut through all the threats and paperwork, she was able to tell me realistically what was a possibility and needed to be dealt with and what was just nonsense and tactics. She was honest and practical and didn't play games or "negotiate". She realized that this was about a child and what was best for the child and she didn't let my emotions or the ridiculous demands from the other side distract her. She is remarkably knowledgeable and incredibly prepared. Her no nonsense attitude was refreshing and she saved me thousands of dollars even having to fly to North Carolina for the court date. She made sure my daughter was the first and only issue that day and never stooped to the level of the other side or wavered in her advocacy for my child. I am truly thankful that I was able to have Ms. Werts represent me and my child. I am so grateful for her knowledge, guidance and support and have the highest regard and respect for her and her practice.

I retained Ms Werts for domestic issues concerning child visitation and custody. She's extremely inexperienced and possesses zero strategic skills or thinking. She is however very good at writing pointless letters to opposing attorneys and making clerical phone calls which serve to drive revenue fo...r her firm while also not moving your case forward in the slightest. Due to my inexperience in the legal realm I trusted her for far too long (years). Don't make the same mistake. Once I terminated the representation agreement with her and hired a new attorney from a much better firm, my matter was resolved in 6 weeks. Move along!
