Mary C. Fons's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mary fights tirelessly for the rights of her clients."
"I have known Mary Fons for more than 20 years as a fellow consumer lawyer. She is a phenomenal lawyer with incredible insight, skill, and compassion for individual consumers. Wisconsin is a better place because of her advocacy for its people. I have always relied upon Mary to give me the right answer, right now, and whenever I needed help on a state or federal litigation matter. She consistently has provided me with sound professional insight and rapid-fire analysis that is truly world class. Hire her. You won't regret it. And, she is a genuinely nice person. There are a lot of lawyers out there, but very few who dedicate their professional lives, their hearts, and their souls to consumer clients. I know what makes a really good lawyer. Mary is one of them."
"Mary Fons is an expert in the field of consumer law. She gets great results for her clients, and even teaches other attorneys how to practice in this area of the law. I highly recommend her."
"I fully endorse Attorney Fons without hesitation. She combines a sharp intellect with an excellent work ethic and real concern for her clients. I rely on her as a trusted advisor, and can refer clients to her confident that they'll receive top-notch legal service. No one can compare to Mary Fons!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Mary is intelligent, driven, and well spoken. She teaches other attorneys about consumer law through the bar association. She has a lot of experience and success defending consumers from creditors and is passionate about her work."
