Great divorce lawyer

Mary was great handling my divorce. I came to her broken at the first of the year & by the end of October I had a settlement. It was an uncontested divorce with no minor children but I am onLTD. Mary was able to help me get a decree that helped me keep what I had worked for before I had to go on dis...ability. Very professional and friendly.

LP of MGG

Ms. Gannaway came recommended to me by an officer of the Court who knew that I was extremely disappointed with the 12 month progress of my first atty. I fired that first atty and hired Ms. Gannaway. I could not have been more pleased. Unlike the first atty whose agenda was to maintain me as a reve...nue source, Ms. Gannaway quickly established a plan to bring my legal issue to conclusion. What I also appreciated about Ms. Gannaway's was that she permitted me to be actively involved. Whereas I am a very "hands-on" type of person, Ms. Gannaway welcomed my suggestions and allowed me to be a part developing a strategy. As I learned, selecting an atty is a very difficult matter. Unfortunately it took me two tries to get a good one. I absolutely will recommend Ms. Gannaway and should I find myself in need of a legal services, I will not hesitate to hire her again. I will always be grateful to the Court official who recommended that I call Mary Gannaway.

She is passionate about her profession and it shows.

Mary is one of those rare cases of an attorney who genuinely understands the clients need to be informed of their case and what she believes the best course of action is. Never during her time as my attorney did I feel unaware of developments or Marys strategy. Furthermore she is always professional ...to opposing council which goes much farther that one might think but makes a huge difference with the judges deciding cases. Bottom line she has so much integrity and compassion as an attorney you owe it to your case to discuss it with her. Also her assistant Laura is amazing and will always get back to you when Mary is in court. Great team. Wish I had Hired her sooner.

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.

Looking for a great attorney ....... Highly recommended

Mary Gannaway was extremely professional on every level. She was always orginized and knew my case inside and out everytime I had a question. She is very honest and fair, I never felt like she treated me as another case. She always treated me like a person and truly cared about me and did everything... she could to protect me from my emotions.
