Great Lawyer, Great Person!

Needing lawyer for divorce and custody, I looked on Avvo for someone that was both local and highly rated. That is where I found Mary. Having great reviews and being close, I decided to give her a call and scheduled a consultation. After that first visit I knew she was the right lawyer. Her knowledge... and professionalism impressed me, but her genuine interest in her clients well-being as a whole is what won me over. She would make sure and ask how I was doing personally and if I needed help with anything every time we would talk. She made sure to clearly articulate all the laws concerning divorce and custody and with each step asked me what I thought and how I wanted to proceed. Mary represented me and my interests the best I could have hoped for and I would highly recommend her.

She's a real pro!

Mary has represented me since 2012. Through 4 years of custody disputes! She has always been there for me, day or night. She truly cares about me and my son and our future. her knowledge surrounding custody and divorce is extensive! Her prices are fair. If Mary Gannaway is your attorney you will rest... assured that you are represented by someone who really cares and is working to make sure you are confident in decisions and outcomes! She is amazing.

A God send in a difficult time

Mary Gannaway was literally a God send to me and my family during our case. While our case is still ongoing, the progress that has been made has been tremendous and we have Ms. Gannaway to thank for that. From the moment that we first hired her almost 9 months ago to now, she has fought for what is r...ight. She has a no-nonsense attitude towards doing what is best for her clients. The most important thing to me is her commitment to the children involved in the custody case process and ensuring they get what is in their best interests. Our case has been difficult to say the least, involving an uncooperative other party, multi-state orders, and many difficult twists and turns. The worst part was I was being unfairly denied any form of contact with my child by the other party. She was the first attorney we had that was able to actually get my rights as a father enforced. She has worked with us to ensure our wishes were being heard, that our priorities were her priorities. Ms. Gannaway has offered us more than just a legal service. We truly believe that she cares as much about the outcome of the case as we do, which is well beyond the typical "I won/they lost" attitude many other lawyers we have encountered seem to have. While it may seem to take a while to get things done in the court system, Ms. Gannaway keeps you informed and communicates any delays or progressions that are made in a timely manner. She explains the process and the estimated time lines for motions and orders. She always gives you the honest assessment of the situation and gives you realistic expectations and not just a fancy, spun fairy tale that will not actually come true. I speak for myself and my entire family in saying that we would recommend Mary Gannaway's services to anyone who is going through a divorce/child custody case. I would especially recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a situation/case in which you feel utterly lost or helpless due to how difficult it is. She can honestly get you some relief and she truly has your back through this difficult time.

Honest, Upfront and Aggressive!

I hired Mary for my divorce. She spoke with me on the phone, which no other lawyer I called would do, and told me important information for my issue. She then gave me a free consultation that lasted over an hour! She always gave me plenty of notice for court hearings and kept me up to date on my ca...se. She took the time to explain every step before it happened, which relieved my stress and anxiety greatly. We ended up winning on all the issues important to me. I would definitely hire her again.
