"Integrity" is Mary Clark

Mary Clark is an articulate, powerful, and highly successful divorce attorney in Lake County. I chose Mary to represent me because I trusted her and felt she really had everyone's best intersests at heart, especially my kids. While divorces can be quite emotional, Mary continued to set realistic ex...pectations throughout the process and worked diligently toward a fair outcome. Partnership with Mary was key to finishing our proceedings in under a year. While there is no winner in any divorce, Mary Clark is definitely a winning attorney and someone I would highly recommend.

Manipulative and Deceiving!!

I came to her in desperation, she gave me hope but during the protracted process, I came to the realization at the end that she is the master of deceptive practices. She makes you believe that she is fighting for you but the only objective is to protract the process and suck the money out of you. I ...would advice that a family member or a friend should convey to the other party what is on the table so you are aware what is proposed. Don't be surprised if you find out that she wasn't relating to you what was proposed from the other side.

Outrageous charges/unnecessary protraction

She is the master of protraction and outrageous charges. She sells herself very well, but she is not worth the money. More importantly you should know that she didn't communicate to me what was offered from the other side. This protracted the process, resulting in more money in her pocket!!
