Divorce decree was not being followed

I was referred to Mary through a friend. As a man, I didn't know if she was right for me. After meeting her I learned she will not take anyone's negative responsibilities even when children are involved. She is very responsive, on point and expeditious with her work and very, very detailed with her l...egal letters. At the end she finally helped me get my name off the marital home and stop any wasted time with fictitious issues by my ex. I will definitely hire her again! (Hope I don't have to)

Outstanding Attorney!!!!

Mary Hudson has exceeded my expectations, has been helping me through the toughest part of my life, and is still helping me to this day. The relentless effort and compassion she has for me and continues to have are of highest level. She understood the level of complexity of my case and have worked wi...th me step by step and never left me in the dark. Mary understood the situation and answered all of my questions. She is very professional, honest, caring and friendly. She has always made me feel important. Mary filed my case immediately and kept me posted on the progress of the case with thorough information. Communication was always quick and efficient. When I felt like giving up, I received nothing but support and achieved goals that seemed unreachable. Any legal issue is an extremely difficult thing to deal with especially with young children being caught in the middle but Mary has done and is doing everything possible for me and my family. I am never treated like I am client, I felt like I was treated like family from day one. Thank you Mary for everything you are doing and continue to do for me. I highly recommend Mary Hudson and I am very grateful to her.

FOREVER GRATEFUL for an AMAZING AND DEDICATED ATTORNEY

Where should i begin? Well, I have a two year old daughter named Jaliyah and I currently reside in NY. My daughter and her mother lived in Florida (among other states due to several relocations). My daughters mother has moved several times in a two year period and has proven to be unstable. She h...as "fled" from state to state to avoid a relationship between a daughter and her father. As a father, it was difficult for me to enter a battle for custody with little knowledge of the judicial system. Ive tried several avenues by myself attempting to win my daughter back, but to no avail. Ive filed motion after motion, but did not succeed. After a year and a half of fighting, a mediation agreement was formed, 50/50. I remained in NY and my daughters mother now resided in PA. It was a three hour commute to pick up my baby weekly, but it was well worth the bus rides. Then, all of a sudden, all communication with my daughters mother stopped. Days later i found out that she had "fled" back to Florida again. I was heartbroken with the thought of never seeing my baby again. I researched reputable family law firms and came across the Elaine Simon firm. After talking with Elaine and explaining my situation, she quickly paired me with Mary Hudson. I explained that my financial situation was not the best, but they were willing to work with me. They placed their trust in me and i placed my trust in them. Mary was the most compatible attorney to handle my case due to the serious nature of the matter. Mary Hudson has proven to be one of the most genuine, dedicated, and caring attorneys that i have ever had the opportunity to work with. Even though Mary and I have never met in person, she fought for me as if she had known me for years. She is an aggressive attorney who will not stop until the fight is won. Mary not only sent me updates about my case, but she also educated me on the motions that were being filed. We discussed many routes to take and she respected all my decisions and concerns regarding our direction. Nothing was ever "sugarcoated". It was explained that this would be a tough, and long journey to get my baby back. She filed ex parte motions and motions for contempt. Whenever i became discouraged Mary reassured me that in due time Jaliyah would be back home with her father. After new findings of a motion to withdraw from the opposing attorney, Mary acted quickly. She filed an emergency motion to return minor child. Literally, after less than a day of filing the emergency motion, a pick up order was granted for me to pick up my daughter! I caught the next flight out of NY and into sunny FL. With pick up order in hand on a saturday morning, i called the Broward county sheriffs office to accompany me with the order. The sheriffs gave me an EXTREMELY difficult time and mentioned that the order would not be fulfilled because the case was based out of Palm Beach County and not Broward. They mentioned i would have to wait until Monday to get the pick up order domesticated to Broward County. I could not wait till Monday because of work. I felt like i was so close, yet so far from my daughters touch. With all the emotions running through my mind, i broke down in tears. I called Mary. She was ALWAYS available. She immediately went to bat for me and called the sergeant of Broward County. Her aggressiveness and incredible knowledge of Florida law allowed the sheriffs to finally grant and fulfilll the pick up order! I can't even begin to explain the amount of joy i felt once i saw my baby again. I am forever grateful for Mary Hudson and the Elaine Simon Firm. Whenever i needed Mary, she was there on standby waiting (even on a saturday!). I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for help. I thank YOU Mary from the bottom of my heart. You've shown me such incredible resiliency and willingness to help a man that you have never met. For that i will forever be indebted to you. I thank you, WE thank you.

Excellent Attorney Gets the Job done and knows the Law.

Mary Hudson is a very professional lawyer who helped me through a very difficult case. She always answered my phone calls and kept me informed. Mary gave me good advice and always provided options. I was very happy with the outcome. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Mary Michele Hudson, Esq. Review

Ms. Hudson was thorough and gave direct instructions at every phase of our case. Throughout the process she was responsive to my questions and concerns. She gave logical and procedural feedback that at time I didn't like, it was the best for my case. Her knowledge of the law had a direct POSITIVE im...pact on how the case was settled.
