Mary Josephine Hanson

Very experienced in family court couldn't of asked for a better lawyer after going through 4 lawyers before her, I was able to trust someone to have my back and she did that. She has been my lawyer since the beginning of the case in 2017 she did everything to make sure I won my case and got extende...d visits with my grandchildren. Very highly recommend her for any custody or divorce case.

This attorney is a DIAMOND in legal representation! At the time I hired her in 2022 I was in the most horrific private custody battle. My previous attorney was horrendous. The majority of other attorney's either flat out turned down my case or wanted a $20,000 retainer. Mary Jo listened to what was h...appening and jumped in with both barrels blazing. For the first time in 2 years, I felt like my attorney was on my side. She fought and advocated for me. She contacted me the morning of hearings to check in. My previous attorney NEVER provided guidance on hearings. Money - remember how I said most attorney's wanted an outrageous retainer? Not Mary Jo. She asked for a reasonable retainer and throughout my case has not over charged. My previous attorney billed 8.50 for an email with less than 5 words. Mary Jo does not believe in that predatory billing. Choose her, I promise you will be forever grateful you did!!!

Mary Jo is an unorganized liar and only wants your money. She will not do anything right for a client who is African American. She will lie her way through to be retained and after she is retained she will not do anything you ask even if it’s beneficial to your case even if you give her enough eviden...ce to do so she will find reasons not to. If she knows anyone personally on your case, she will side with them and set your case up to fail. She will not keep you updated with your case nor with your fees and overcharge you constantly for the smallest things. She will constantly request you to come into her office so she can over charge you for nothing. She will also overcharge you for every call or text message you send her. If she tells you she personally knows anyone on your case do not hire her. If your African America. DO NOT HIRE HER!!!! She will secretly work with them against you. She will even try to call you a liar and say you didn’t request something. Every African American client is treated as if they are ignorant of the law and as if she knows best. I suggest everyone who has an issue with her to make a review for everyone to see and to file a Grievance against her through the Supreme Court and the American Bar Association. The more grievances the greater outcome of her being disciplined.

Mary Jo Hanson a theif and habitual liar stole my retainer $1500 and all my files never did any work on my case. Bragged about how she know my Judge personally. I never received 1 piece of legal mail from her unprofessional office. She talks to her Secretary Robert like a dog in the street. Mary Jo ...is working with cuyahoga county juvinille court to keep Black Father's away from their children. Haven't seen my son in 8 months.
