Got the professional support that I needed

Mr. Mason helped me with a divorce process. He is very knowledgeable in his field and I got all the support that I needed. He and his team can be reached out easily, friendly service. I certainly recommend him for anyone who needs a great lawyer!

Modification and Counter Sued

I was referred to Mr. Mason by a friend that had used his services in the past. Mr. Mason represented me in a professional, friendly, honest manner in which he made sure that I understood the risks, potential outcomes etc. in the case. I was pleased to have been able to settle something so quickly th...at was unnecessary in the first place to have to do. Although I hope that I do not need additional legal counsel, I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Mason again.

Bingo!

Hiring Dems was a big win for my divorce and DV case. He really knows what he is doing and uses his past extensive case history's to guide you in probable outcomes. He kept me on track to finalize quickly saving me the cost of a trial and unneeded mental anguish. Hire him before your spouse does.

Would recommend

Demere and his staff successfully handled all my needs. He took the time to explain and outline the process and timeline for me in a manner that was simple to understand. It was clear to me that Demere had my total best interests in mind throughout the process.

Great Lawyer for Divorce

Demere was great to work with throughout the entire process and his knowledge and experience in the Family Law realm was extensive and without it I certainly would not have had the favorable outcome that I was awarded. I would highly recommend him.

"I endorse this lawyer. Demere prides himself on painstaking, thorough work. More importantly, he has the integrity to clearly advise his clients about the strengths and weaknesses of their case. Finally, in the last six years I have known him, he has continued to impress me with his constant work to make himself a better, more knowledgeable, and more effective lawyer. If anyone I know asked me who I'd recommend to help them with family law, divorce, or child custody issues, I would say Demere Mason in a heartbeat."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
