About Mary
Biography
Born and raised in rural Meade County, Mary saw many inequalities in treatment to those who could not afford quality representation. Some had been taken advantage of, some had been falsely accused, while others could not fight for their children or their hard-earned marital assets. Mary vowed that when she came back home after school, that she would play a part in changing the way things were done.
While her focus is on helping clients navigate the emotional and often frustrating realm of family court, Mary has also helped numerous clients in the areas of criminal law, including juveniles facing charges, probate and wills, personal injury/slip and fall, bankruptcy and social security disability.

She is a heifer
I am writing to share my extremely negative experience with Mary Brunette regarding my fathers bankruptcy filing. I found the lawyer's representation to be completely incompetent. The service was characterized by a lack of communication; my calls were routinely ignored, and I only received a respo...

Full custody
I needed to get my daughter away from a bad situation. Mary helped me get full custody so that she would never have to go back. She walked me through the process and kept good communication with me.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy
Mary helped me be debt free by filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy. She went over everything and we filed the same day. Very affordable prices. I am so glad I filed and don't have to worry about it anymore. She was very friendly and didn't make me feel dumb or bad about all my debt.
