Mauria Jackson Kemper

Mauria Kemper was a poor choice from day 1. My husband took a rather large pay cut at work, so we wanted to re-modify child support. We made phone appointments where we didn’t receive a phone call. There was poor communication between Mauria and the receptionist/assistant, because one appointment was... actually completely forgotten about. We provided the required information about income and waited, and when we heard nothing, we had to call again. Our emails were ignored. Our questions weren’t answered. We paid $500 to be in the same position as when we started.

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.

After interviewing several attorneys in the area, I chose Mrs. Kemper. I filed a motion to move across the country and it was the smoothest custody issue we have had thus far. Once the ncp was served and we came up with a parenting plan, she had the agreement draftes, signed by the judge and se...nt back to me within two hours. The entire process took a week. Her fee is very affordable. She's empathetic to situations and very easy to get along with and talk to. I will be using Mrs. Kemper in the future if I need another attorney in her jurisdiction.

Mauria handled the adoption of my 2 children. She was not only professional, but she was knowledgeable, efficient, kind, and definitely made my family a priority. My case was handled in a timely manner, and Mauria communicated with me every step of the way. She was very reassuring when my situation s...eemed a little tough, and she did not back down to anyone or anything. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for excellent representation.
