Excellent Attorney!

Attorney Mayers has represented me on a couple of cases and won. One for a divorce and the other for child custody. For both cases she always remained professional and was very knowledgeable about laws concerning my cases. Attorney Mayers knew exactly what to do. She was always very thorough, inform...ative, prepared, and attentive. Whenever a change in my circumstances was made she would quickly make the necessary adjustments to ensure everything would be in place to win the case. I've recommended her to friends and family over the years and they received the results they wanted. She brought peace of mind and I felt confident in her and her work. I thank GOD Attorney Mayers!

Uncommitted, uncaring, deplorable

My initial consultation with her indicated that she knew exactly how to win my case. She came to court unprepared. It was basically like I was all alone defending myself. Before the trail begin she advised me to give up the rights to our home when clearly the best thing to do was to sell and divide ...the property. We didn’t do any kind of prep or discussed a strategy before court. At the trial she didn't present anything that we had discussed. She acted as though we had just meet. After losing the case, she claimed that we could file an appeal then about a week later I received a letter from her stating that she doesn’t handle appeals. She had the nerve to act shocked that we lost. I lost custody of my 2 young daughters because of her uncommitted, uncaring, deplorable attitude. (I’m still work in to get them back.)

Terrible Custody Lawyer

She came recommended from a lawyer friend, initial telephone conversation with her she knew exactly how to win my case. Started going to court, she was a bump on a log, I had to defend myself. During proceedings she would look at me as if I were the lawyer. She was impossible to reach for consultat...ion, never went over info before court. At the trial she didn't present info given and if she did present info, she wasn't knowledgeable enough to dispute lies. After loosing the case, she blamed the child knowing the entire time he was being manipulated by his dad. However, she didn't advise to not have him testify due to this manipulation. She never gave advise at all during the proceedings. I almost thought she was paid to lose!!!!
