Mary McDaniel goes above and beyond

Before Mary McDaniel opened her own practice, I had opportunity to hire her on a few cases. But now, as a criminal defense attorney only, I do not practice family law. However, I often get calls to handle a divorce. I always refer those cases to Mary McDaniel, because I know she is going to do t...he best work. Every person that I have ever referred to Mary McDaniel has been very pleased and happy with her work. It's important for me to keep a good reputation for my own law office. Therefore, I only recommend a divorce attorney that I have confidence in. Mary McDaniel goes above and beyond for her clients.

Highly recommend Mary McDaniel for any divorce or family law case

As a client of Mary McDaniel, I would highly recommend her (and have) to anyone in need of a family law attorney. I work with attorneys in a business capacity on an almost daily basis- I can share from my experience that she is a credit to the legal profession, while also being truly compassionate t...o her clients who are going through the stress and process of divorce. She is dedicated, always accessible, and is a true advocate. Her office staff is highly professional and competent. Her fees all in are more than reasonable when compared with other attorneys. I would recommend her for any family law, divorce, and collaborative divorce cases.

Ms. McDaniel is exceptional in her work. She works to seek the best interest of the client, whether that be through her specialization in collaborative law or her ability to pick a fight with entrenched attorneys in the Greater Pensacola Area. God forbid I ever need a divorce in Florida, but if I... did, I know who I would go to see.

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.
