Child Conservatorship Excellent Job with a complex case

Marci went beyond my expectation. She worked diligently (despite the COVID slow down in the courts) and with great compassion, in getting a resolution in my conservatorship of two children. Her hard work in getting the necessary paperwork, including serving the absentee parents, who proved difficult ...to locate, living separately in two states. Her personal concern for the welfare of the children and obtaining a stable environment for the them to grow up in was wonderful. I will gladly recommend her, and if need be use her again in the future.

Wonderful Attorney!!

Marcy Akers represented me in my custody case. She was always helpful, punctual, and responsive throughout the entire process. She laid out a graduate plan of custody and delivered exactly what I wanted. I would recommend her to anyone struggling through litigation.

Divorce

Marcy is a fabulous attorney. She knows the right people, and the right methods, even obscure ones, to get the job done. I have an ex-wife that really tested the patience of Job! Marcy was always calm and in control and always knew exactly what to do with the next move. Even when my ex took me back t...o court for more support, Marcy turned the tables and made the entire hearing work in my favor. I learned that the legal process is very slow and deliberate, so you must be patient, however, I highly recommend Marcy! She knows how to get it done.

Marcy Akers

I cannot recommend Martha enough. Not only was she able to eliminate my child support payments but she designed a strategy whereby the court required my ex-spouse to pay me. Martha has the experience and good judgement to effectively advise clients. She made me feel like we were collaborating to dete...rmine the best path forward and that my opinion matters. Once the plan was agreed upon Martha began executing immediately and kept me informed constantly on status. In the end, Martha got results that fairly represented the interests of my daughter and me. I highly recommend Martha with absolutely no reservations.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I wholeheartedly endorse Ms. Akers. Over the years we have worked in the same firm and we have worked opposite each other on matters. Every time I see her name on the pleadings I am pleased. I know that her client will be well represented and that the matter will proceed without needless delays. She is able to zealously advocate without allowing the litigation to devolve into needless personal bickering. I sincerely hope I never need a lawyer practicing Family Law, but if I I ever do Marcy will definitely be one I would give strong consideration."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
