Mary G. McDaniel

I found Mary McDaniel at MGM Law using a simple google search for "best divorce attorney." Her name also came up when searching for "quality family lawyer" and "great custody attorney." After obtaining her name I used the Florida Bar website to look up her credentials. All the information I found on ...MsMcDaniel's law firms web page checked out to be valid and accurate with the FL Bar. I decided to consult with Mary McDaniel after reading many positive reviews about her on Google, Avvo and Justia. I also looked her up on BBB and couldnt find any complaints listed. From the very first time speaking with Mr.McDaniel on the phone I could tell she was personable, strait forward, knowledgable and reasonable. She explained the law in ways that I could easily understand and relate to but I never felt like she was "dumbing it down" for me. She listened to my concerns and addressed all my questions in a black & white, to the point kind of fashion. She explained that this was how a judge would look at the information and gave me experienced i sight as to what I could expect throughout the divorce process. She never flooded me with too much information at once or too many tasks to tackle in a short time period. She was transparent with her intentions and her legal strategies. There were times when my own emotions made information hard to receive and absorb. Those were the time Ms. McDaniel stepped up on my behalf and made sound decisions with me and children's long term best interests in mind. She was honest in telling me when I could not get or ask for exactly what I wanted but always made sure I got what I was entitled too and what I needed. I have been pleased with the legal services I received from MGM Law and would recommend Mary McDaniel to anyone in need of a good divorce lawyer. Her office was always promptly responsive to any form of communication I used to reach them. In comparison to most I found MGM Law to be reasonable and fair in their rates. They sent me weekly invoices that broke down costs and charges in great detail and I always knew exactly where I stood financially. Ms. McDaniel avidly made me aware of the anticipated cost of all that I expected from her and all that she predicted we would face throughout my divorce process and even far into the future when I asked about how things should be handled in the near and distant future. If I need an attorney in Pensacola again in the future I would use MGM Law again for sure. Divorce and custody issues are extremely stressful and emotionally draining. Mary McDaniel is well aware of that and always tried to be compassionate and empathetic but at the same time she never allowed my emotions to hinder the progression of the legal process. She kept me focused and mindful of how my words and action would affect my case. She didnt always tell me what I wanted to hear but on many occasions she told me what I needed to know and what the best course of action would be for me to achieve favorable outcomes regarding custody and timesharing, which was my main concern in my divorce. I can honestly say that I believe Mary McDaniel enjoys the work she does, believes in the efficacy of the legal process and is a great family law attorney.

I met with Ms. McDaniel in hopes of finding help in a very serious divorce/abuse/child custody situation. She listened to everything and then quickly acted to protect our interest. Ms. McDaniel is upfront and honest. She does not sugarcoat the issues but is sensitive to the individual client a...nd their needs. She works hard for you and expects you to work hard for yourself (with her guidance). Our case will not be resolved quickly. However, I feel that Ms. McDaniel has our very best interest in mind and is working for a successful outcome. If you want an attorney who will fight for you, look no further.

Ms. McDaniel was the absolute best for my divorce case and child custody agreement. Not only was she able to get what I wanted in the divorce and custody, she exceeded my expectations by far. She is confident and knowledgable in what she does and I feel bad for any lawyer up against her! She understo...od that money was tight for me, and created a payment plan based on that. She is a true attorney that cares about your needs as a human being.I am proud to tell people she was my lawyer and I recommend her to anyone who is looking for an honest and hard working attorney…give her a call!

I had met Mary through a friend by chance while eating lunch in in Pensacola. Time and time again this friend had spoken very highly of Mary, though having no personal experience with her legal work. After a my reluctant introduction (Due to the embarrassment of my case) I was awestruck by the intens...e passion Mary expressed not for business, but for level of humanity, compassion and empathy that her line of work provided her a vessel for. She took on my pending DUI case with such a ferocity, that had I not witnessed the genuine manner in which she spoke, I would not have taken seriously. With an above and beyond mentality, she not only lifted me out of my legal slump but my personal and emotional deficit as well. Mary provided a level comfort and reassurance I have never experienced from an attorney. A quite refreshing experience. And she followed through with a personally inspiring amount tenacity, communication and sincerity. Needless to say, I am thoroughly satisfied with the outcome of my case. I can now move on with a level of positivity and confidence that I acquired from the most unexpected of places. A million thanks, Mary. The world needs more people like you.
