Child Relocation

Ms. McDaniel was my second lawyer for this situation. Initially contempt of court after contempt of court and nothing. I was having issues with picking my child up after travel across country. I called Ms. McDaniel and the emergency ex parte was filed and signed by a judge same day on a Friday. Fast ...forward some time and we are sitting in The courtroom arguing the grounds of the initial contempt of court charges against my ex, and the relocation hearing for my child. After each hearing we stood steady and came out victorious. The staff at MGM Law has been a huge help and always displayed patients. They are very professional and very well organized. With a task I thought to be close to impossible they did it and I will forever be grateful!

Amazing Lawyer!!!

I hired Mrs.McDaniel to be my divorce lawyer a few months ago. I've never needed a lawyer before and was nervous about the entire process, but Mrs. McDaniel and Kimberly, her paralegal, made me feel very comfortable from the first moment I met them. They stay on top of the mountains of paperwork, ans...wer all of my questions, and explain the processes in a way that I can understand them. In addition to that, they are both nice, caring, and seem to have good attitudes. I'm sure they both stay very busy, but with every interaction that I've had with them, I have felt like I was their only client. Recently, we went to the first hearing. I was very anxious about this but found out that I had no reason to be. Mrs. McDaniel was very professional, prepared, and competent. I was amazed with her during the entire hearing. I'm confident that with her I will get the best possible outcome throughout the whole process. I would recommend her to anybody.

Awesome

She called me the next morning herself. She gave me hope and made me feel so much better about my circumstances. Mary was really kind and made me feel that she really cared about what I have been going through for the last 5 years. I know I am in great hands. And I feel relieved and less stress and I... haven't cried since I talked to her personally. Thank you for caring and taking my case. You are the only lawyer I have talked to that made me feel that you truly care and want to help me . Thank you so much Mary

Lifetime Movie Worthy Divorce

I just went through the most horrendous divorce that anyone could imagine. I came home after a shift at work to find my house emptied of all contents and my children gone. During the last 6 months I have been stalked, harassed, blackmailed, emotionally and psychologically abused. This is no understat...ement. This all happened on a Friday night. Saturday morning I began frantically calling attorneys to help me get my kids back. Mary called me back; on a Saturday!! I had my kids back within the week. I was left with no belongings so Mary called a bunch of her friends and contacts and they helped to collect clothing, children’s toys, dishes, beds, furniture, and general household items for me and my children. I have never had an attorney who was so incredibly dedicated. I appreciate the fact that she not only took the time to thoroughly know my case but help me out in replacing all that was taken from me. She has been an amazing advocate and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for me.
