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.
