Dedicated and Diligent

I am writing this letter to express my appreciation for having the Mary S Sullivan Law Firm represent me in my Child Custody Case. I have known Mary and she has represented me since April of 2014. I have seen Mary Sullivan and Heather Burnette work long and diligently towards keeping my sanity by ...putting in the work to represent me to the best of their abilities. I have found Mary to be very thorough while working my case and has even involved me in the fact gathering process in order for me to become more aware of trial proceedings. Mary is very prideful in her work which tells me that she wants to be successful not only for herself, but for me as a client as well. I am blessed to have the Mary Sullivan Moore Law Firm represent me and would recommend this law firm to anyone. Thank you for your time. Rodney Johnson

A Ruthless Fighter for Good

Words cannot do justice for what Mary Sullivan Moore and her team of top notch legal experts have provided for our family during a season of great challenge. We were first introduced to Mary at a pivotal moment and she wasted no time in stepping in to provide genuine representation when we needed it ...most. She is relentless in her pursuit to defend the innocent, the voiceless and she does so with the utmost integrity and poise. In an industry riddled with deception and a lack of transparency, Mary is the exception. She’s a bright light for the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Hamilton County and our great community. If you’re looking for someone who is honest, look no further. Mary Sullivan Moore will prepare you for the reality that you face. She’s a defender to the highest degree. Her rich experience makes her the right choice, no matter the problem. Mary’s passion is unmeasurable and she will stop at nothing to ensure the lives of those she represents are restored. Why? Because she actually cares about the people she represents and the lives impacted by her defense. When it feels like the weight of the world is upon your shoulders, she’ll be there to help ease the burden. When you feel like you have nowhere else to turn, she’ll lead you to clarity once again. When you need a fighter to protect the things you hold closet to your heart, like your family, your children and everything in between, she’ll be the leader that you need. We’ve seen Mary Sullivan Moore take on challenges that she’s never faced in her 20+ year career. Where she could have easily backed away for the sake of her reputation, she put the needs of others above her own. She did what she felt was right for our family and that passion to fight for what’s right whatever the cost is unlike anything we’ve experienced prior to knowing Mary. There’s no other attorney I would want leading our family. She’s a godsend. A true friend. A ruthless fighter for good. Family. When you find yourself needing that helping hand, Mary is your answer. If you don’t know her, you need to. On behalf of our entire family, thank you for never giving up. The appreciation we have for you extends beyond our ability of expression.
