Mauria Jackson Kemper

I am a huge advocate of reviews and I did my research before hiring Mauria. I called and spoke to her on the phone and she assured me she would fight for what is right. I explained to her that neither party nor the child involved in the case lives in Arkansas and therefore we just needed to her to a...sk for a change in venue due to the corimcstances and have the case moved to Michigan. She told me she could not do that as to it was reopened in Arkansas. Now come to talking to several other attorneys after the fact that she indeed only needed to do that and we wouldn't be in the situation we are now. There was limited contact in the first several months and then we had told her in the beginning of February that we wanted her to fight for custody. My husband and myself both emailed her the same day February 12th with the visitation agreement we wanted to go after. Now fast forward 7 weeks and she's agreeing to an order behind our backs not consulting us in the least. Her only excuse was that it was the law and that was that. We paid her over $2,000 to do pretty much nothing. We would of been better off having it default and we could of questioned jurisdiction then. She never even raised the issue of visitation and told us that she didnt have time for them to prepare a response in 30 days.... we told her in the beginning of February and the court date was March 26th. Afterwards she told us to do whatever we can to have it moved. I have already filed a complaint with the Code of ethics committee. She didn't consult or tell my husband what was in this agreement that she went ahead and signed. Completely unethical. She comes off knowledgeable but is not willing to fight.
