Beware Of DMG and Abby Ewing!
She was insensitive and uncaring. When I informed her my Mother was dying during my divorce Abby said " Yep You have alot going on". Do not use this law firm. They are not worth the money they charge.

Recent Divorce
Abby was about resolving and settling my divorce quickly, effectively and as efficiently (cost) as possible. She was not into getting personal, beating up my ex or any other non-sense. At the same time, she was also personable and very easy to get along with. I would highly recommend her.
