Great aggressive lawyer

Marcy Akers Freeman was my attorney. She patiently and compassionately answered all of my questions and promptly responded to my numerous emails. I immediately saw she was respected by the judge. She effectively presented my case. I felt very comfortable with her by my side. The staff at The Wy...nne Law Firm are knowledgeable and respectful. Although attorneys are expensive, I felt her fees were reasonable under the circumstances. If you need a great attorney, hire Marcy.

Do what she tells you to do...

Marcy was my attorney for my divorce. She gave me excellent advice, some of which I choose to not follow. I am now paying the price literally for this mistake. Hindsight is definitely 20/20. Great attorney but she can only do what you let her. So do what she says...

Professional and Aggressive

Marcy represented my in a highly contested child custody battle that has gone on many years. She was able to review the case and understand the issues that needed to be addressed. She was aggressive and stood up for me when the time was come to make decisions.

Excellent Experience. Excellent Attorney.

Ms. Akers was assigned to our case following a very frustrating experience with another attorney who is no longer at Wynne. We felt the difference immediately. Marcy is responsive, knowledgeable, helpful, and personable. After our first meeting with her we already felt more at ease and had a plan ...of action. From that point forward she always kept us informed, followed through on the tasks and timeline she had committed to, and answered all of our questions without fail. She took a very creative approach to our case and knew how to work the other party’s lack of follow through to our legal advantage, which made a tremendous impact on the outcome. During our hearings she was professional, prepared, and calm. She made sure we were as well. I’m grateful to say that we did win our case, but honestly I would recommend Ms. Akers even if we hadn’t as we felt strongly that she did everything she could to set us up for success.

Lynn

First off she let me lay out all the facts as I had them. Never interrupted until I had laid everything on the table. With out hesitation, she explained what she could help with and what she felt needed referral to another attorney in another city closer to the issue. Never during the conversation di...d she let me feel that is was a case not worth her efforts. She pursued it immediately and let me know each step that had been taken. Not once judgemental, and truly cares what the outcome is. She shows a fearless attitude for her clients with a great depth of kindness.

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.
