Fantastic lawyer

Last year I was involved in a case with DSS and I decided to hire Mary Lee Briggs as my attorney. The whole process extended for a year and half but she made sure to keep my mind at ease at all times. She puts herself in your shoes when she is representing you and that’s something you don’t find ever...ywhere. Mary Lee was very responsive and always listened and addressed all my concerns and I honestly felt like I was in great hands; she knows the law and understands all the proceedings which made me feel very comfortable and secure with her services. She did an amazing job and the results were positive for me, I can’t thank her enough for her services, I will always be thankful for how she handled my situation. I highly recommend Mary Lee and her team to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair and honest.

Nothing short of phenomenal!

I can't thank Mary Lee enough for her support and strong ability to represent me for my divorce. I had moved from SC to Colorado and secured her while moving. Although it was a 1.5 year process, she was extremely supportive throughout the time. My ex was less than cooperative and honest during the en...tire process, but she kept encouraging me to hang in there until we had our time in court. She hit it out of the park when it came to the trial by addressing the issues at hand... extremely prepared and tactful. Things ended positively for me, even after a scare of a mistrial, she advocated for me. I can't thank Mary Lee enough. Divorces are never fun and there are two sides to every broken marriage, however, if you need a divorce attorney to help tell your side of the story and fight for your rights, she definitely will have your back.

Professional and Efficient

I used Mrs. Briggs for a custody case throughout 2016 and 2017. Mrs. Briggs was extremely professional and efficient throughout the entire process. She always got back to me in a timely manner and kept me informed of what was going on throughout the case. She explained all the legal jargon to me, an...d allowed me to make decisions on the case instead of telling me what to do. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area needing a family lawyer.

Diamond in the rough

Mary lee helped me through a divorce that was hell and back over again. I had contacted and talked with previous lawyers but I just didn’t have that feeling with them. i got her number off the internet and it was the jackpot. She was beyond the point of nice and presented such hospitality. I didn’t h...ave to go to court because she settled everything during mediation. She answered and guided me through the situation like a father teaching a child how to ride a bike without training wheels. The price is right and she is just awesome. I just can’t say thank you enough for what she has done for me. I have recommended her to some of my friends and they love her work too. She has a layer back demeanor which is so cool. Hiring her was the best. No complaints at all. Two thumbs up!! I got what I deserved from the divorce. A piece of mind. To anyone reading this and looking for divorce attorney or child separation attorney look no further. She is the truth. The staff is excellent and friendly. Awesome ! Awesome! Awesome!

Mary Lee Hutson

Mary Lee was awesome when I was going through my divorce and child support. Every time I had a question or a concern, she ALWAYS was there to assist me. She was truthful about every circumstance and situation and she was very hands on. Some attorneys use their paralegals for communication but not Mar...y Lee!! She has made this horrible experience the BEST experience with her superior expertise and commitment to her practice. I HIGHLY recommend Mary Lee.
