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...nse after threatening to seek alternative legal counsel. I have filed a formal complaint with the bar association and strongly advise anyone considering using this lawyer to thoroughly review her ratings on platforms such as the BBB, Yelp, and other review sites before engaging her services.

Contested divorce

Hired Mary after a bad experience with another divorce attorney in elizabethtown. Very easy to contact and listens to what you want. Does not push you into doing things that you don't want to do. Very happy with her work and results

Exceptional Attorney

We hired Mary Burnett for a contested divorce / custody for my Fiance's children. In our case the children were exposed to being around Heroin and other drugs and we feared for their lives in the situation they were living in. We were denied in Grayson County an EPO to get both boys in our care throu...gh the filing process. We had both boys in our care and while we were at work the mother came and took one of them. Because there were no divorce papers or custody filings of any sort we had no right according to police to get him back in our care, it was considered a domestic dispute. However It took some time but with Faith, Patience and a Wonderful Attorney we won our case and got to bring the other son home with us the same day! The boys are still securely in our care and their father has sole custody. Mary was very informative and supportive through the whole process and we feel extremely Blessed to have had her represent our family! We will always be glad to refer her to Everyone!
