also known as Mary Bradshaw Coones
I am a Sherman native. I have lived the very large majority in my life in Sherman. I have also lived in Austin, Irving, Pilot Point, and now, Bells.
After graduating from the University of Texas, at Austin, I worked for 2 years. My first job, out of college, was as an assistant front desk manager, at a hotel, in Dallas. In my second year after graduation, I worked at a personal injury law firm. This was when my passion for fighting for the rights of the injured began to grow.
Over the next 3 years, I attended law school in Fort Worth, while working in Sherman. I put myself through law school, while I continued to work as a legal assistant. I worked with clients from all over the Texoma area.
After I graduated from law school, I worked as a personal injury attorney, at a firm in Dallas, for 6 years. I worked with personal injury clients from Dallas, McKinney, Plano, Richardson, and the Panhandle.
For the last 6 years, I worked at a firm out of Amarillo. I worked with clients from New Mexico, Amarillo, Dalhart, Pampa, and again, all over the Panhandle.
After almost 20 years of working with some amazing attorneys, it is time to strike out on my own. Besides fighting for the rights of the injured, I am a wife, mommy, Sunday school teacher, and group fitness instructor. I am passionate about helping people and I want to help you!

MARY: EMBODIMENT OF GLADIATOR IN A SUIT
Mary is amazing!!! She knows what to do, how to do it, and immediately gets to work on your case. I was hit by a drunk driver and she made this situation so much easier. I didn’t have to lift a finger besides sign paperwork to let her access the necessary information. She is the lawyer that everyone ...

Car Accident
She was extremely helpful as well as polite when explaining to me the process and steps that needed to be taken. This was my first time being in an accident and got a lawyer for, and I believe I hit the jackpot on finding and working with an amazing lawyer.
Avinger, it was such a pleasure working with you on your car wreck case. I'm so thankful that we were able to wrap everything up with such a great result!

Concerned and Compassionate for Real.
Upon being broadsided and then pushed across the highway by an unsuspecting vehicle that suddenly came at me from a bank parking lot, I was stunned and in a bit of shock actually. After maneuvering through cable wires, narrowly avoiding an 18 wheeler, and then a creek, my car came to rest on the othe...

Professional and personable
Mary Bradshaw-Coones is one of the best lawyers I have ever worked with. She is smart, easy to talk to and professional. She was able to get my case settled in a reasonable amount of time and more than I expected. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome!

She emailed or called me a regular basis to advise me of the status of my case. In the emails she always asked me how I...
"As an attorney in Houston, I’ve had the pleasure to work with Mary on several cases in the Dennison area. She’s helped me and my clients as local counsel. Anytime me or a client have a legal issue in her neck of the woods, she’s the first call I make."
