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

Best Attorney in Chattanooga

I was in a very bad situation with my custody battle over my only child, I was losing and there was no light at the end of the tunnel, then I hired Mary and things started to turn around immediately. The situation went from bad to, "I have hope again", to "I won". Mary saved my child's life, and gave... me my life back. Without Mary Sullivan Moore going to bat for me in the worst match of my life I would have lost everything I held dear to me, "my child" Thank you Ms. Moore for standing up to the good 'ol boy network women face in this State, and giving me my life back!
