Mary R. Macpherson

Was caught off guard when my ex wife pulled me into court over parenting time after 11 years of using the same schedule. Ex had also brought up false accusations in this report on why I could be deemed an unfit parent. I met with Mary and she made me feel extremely comfortable. I expressed that I co...uld pay the retainer, but if this was a long and drawn out fight, I would not have the capital to pay long term. Mary understood my issues and worked with me to establish a plan to hire her services, but to only send email communications when absolutely necessary. This was crucial in helping me save money. Instead of sending constant updates and charging me, Mary would gather information and send information only when my input was needed, or letting me know appointment timelines. From our first consultation, Mary was able to look at the allegations and made me feel comfortable with the upcoming legal battle. Just because someone claims something, does not mean it is accepted in court. They needed to be proven. Meeting with the Guardian Ad Litem was a bit nerve wrecking as they hold a lot of sway in court, but Mary was able to explain the process and what is needed and expected. I can not claim to have everything I wanted to receive in court, as it should be fair for both parents, but I can state that everything worked out for the better. I feared losing my kids through the week, and gaining them on weekends, but Mary made me realize that this was a solid win, as I have entire days with my kids outside of school and homework. Sometimes a second opinion carries a lot of weight. I have already recommended Mary to a friend of mine, and would absolutely use her services again. (Although I hope I never need too) Lastly I will state, that when services were no longer needed, my remaining retainer was paid out exactly as described, on the following billing cycle, with no hassle or issue.
