I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case!

Mr. Mason handled my case with compassion and logic. He fully explained the possible outcomes and what he expected to happen, which was dead on. Although I hope to never need his services again I would not hesitate to return to his office for any family law matters.

I highly Recommend Mr. Mason and his paralegal Rachel Written. They kept me informed during the duration of the life changing event I was going through and was always there to assist me an answer any questions. Thank You Again For helping me though this very difficult time in my life! Sincerely, ...William Sherwood

Excellent lawyer

Mr. Mason represented my in my divorce earlier in the year and I don't think I could have picked a better attorney. He and his entire office did an outstanding job representng me through this process, and I got a result that I was happy with. He is a very smart and experienced guy, and did a great j...ob keeping me informed throughout the entire process. Additionally, I really felt like he cared, and that he wasn't just there trying to maximize his income (unlike my ex-wives attorney). As a man trying to fight for custody of my kids, it seems like the system is against you, but Mr. Mason knew how to best navigate the legal system in order to get us the best results. Lastly, because my ex-wife's attorney tried to sneak in the very first hearing, Mr. Mason Sr. stepped in because of scheduling conflicts...he completely made my ex-wives attorney look like a fool. The entire office did an outstanding job, and was very easy to work with!!!

"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.
