I hired Mary and her partner months ago for a civil appeal in a domestic dispute. My father died in August. He was a resident of Terrebonne Parish. 2 days after his funeral his widow and her daughter had me hospitalized by the coroner without reason. She pursued me in court as well. She also used her sister who is a deputy there to maliciously prosecute me.
I was highly anxious about this because my stepmother and her family are the epitome of white trash. Mary questioned my stepmother in court who had an emotional meltdown on the witness stand. We had her sister removed from the courtroom. I am grateful for her help and look forward to continuing to work with her.
I have consulted with Mary on multiple matters over the years and have always found her to be detailed and conscientious in her approach. She always gives me an honest and truthful assessment of my legal matters so that I can make an informed decision.

30 years
I became an attorney because I wanted to help people. It is rewarding knowing that I have been able to make a difference in another person’s life, to give them a voice, and to assist them in navigating a difficult time.

"An attorney who can handle litigation matters can handle any matter--that's how I would describe Mary. Through the years I have had the pleasure of working side by side with Mary in multiple litigation matters and was so impressed with her ability, strategy, demeanor and effectiveness that when it was time to start a new firm, I was fortunate enough to partner with her and we formed ROPER LIGH, LLC, and I have no regrets."
