Miracle Worker!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot thank Attorney Thomas enough for the incredible work they did on my divorce case. From day one, they were professional, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable about family law. They took the time to explain every step of the process, kept me informed, and always made me ...feel like my case was a priority. What stood out most was their ability to remain calm and strategic in difficult moments while fiercely protecting my rights and interests. Their attention to detail and dedication gave me confidence through one of the most stressful times in my life. Because of their guidance and advocacy, I was able to reach a fair outcome and move forward with peace of mind. I would highly recommend Attorney Thomas to anyone going through a divorce or custody matter—you will be in the best hands possible.

Disappointing

I hired Ms. Thomas and was disappointed with her performance and service, I found her to be unprepared and inexperienced. She was also at times difficult to make contact with and was delayed in responses. She was nice and friendly, but her preparation and lack of experience was disappointing.

What an Awesome Attorney!

We had tried unsuccessfully to contact several attorney's in Florida with help concerning the divorce our daughter is going through. The paper- was being filed in Florida, but we live in TN and TN attorney's refused to touch it, since it was from another state. After receiving no return calls, etc fr...om other attorney's we had contacted and left messages with, we turned to the internet yet again to try to find help. Thankfully, Maurine's law firm came up, and less than 10 minutes after we had left a message, she is the one who called us, for which we are very thankful!! She has a great personality, friendly, and you can tell that she truly cares about helping you get things taken care of. We only had to do a paperwork review, but she did so and in a very timely manner, getting back to us quickly to let us know what we needed to do to. We would very gladly use her again if she lived her in TN, should we need an attorney again!! You cannot go wrong with this wonderful lady taking care of you!!

Amazing!

Maurine is an amazing Lawyer as well as an amazing person. She has helped me so much in the past 4 years and has been there for me through legal matters and personal matters. I can not thank her enough for all she has done and still does for me. She is such a sweet, patient person and has such a huge... heart! She definitely does her job to help people, she isn't in it only for the money. I absolutely love her as a lawyer and as a person. I would recommend her to anyone!

Maurine is an amazing attorney.

I had poor representation from another attorney during my divorce. Years later, after my ex-husband discontinued alimony payments, I hired Maurine. I was concerned about hiring another attorney. What a fresh inspiration she was all along. She worked vigorously and diligently for me. Any question ...I had was answered within a day. She was always there for me and in contact with me. Her knowledge and drive for her clients are absolutely above and beyond. She works so hard for her clients and truly cared about my case. I was referred to her by a friend, who Maurine also did an awesome job for. I cannot express enough Thanks to Maurine for being there, and I highly recommend her to anyone with a family court case. If I could I would give her 10 stars.
