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.

Divorce/Modification Child Custody

Navigating my divorce and child custody was a challenging experience to say the least but I was supported and guided every step of the way by my attorney, Marcy Akers. Marcy was very professional, caring, knowledgeable, easy to reach, aggressive, organized, and a hard fighter. I always felt I was in ...good hands. I highly recommend Marcy Akers for the legal expertise, compassion, and understanding of the many complex facets associated with divorce/child custody.

Ms.

Martha was very thoughtful and thorough in her preparation of my husband’s and my will, POA and AD. She had insight into things to consider, and also did a great job listening to our needs.

Great divorce attorney!

Marcy did a wonderful job representing me in my divorce. The consultation was professional and thorough and she presented items to be addressed that I had not thought about myself. I feel like every aspect of my divorce was addressed in an efficient manner. She was easy to communicate with and her pa...ralegal was eager to help me and get back with me whenever Marcy was unavailable. I would recommend Marcy to anyone that needed legal representation in the future.

Closed

We had changes that need to be made to our child custody paperwork that could have turned very ugly. We went straight to a mediation meeting to get things worked out, since there was alot of back child support owed. Mrs. Akers did exactly what we talked about and then some. She made me feel very co...mfortable in our meeting, and I never even saw my ex. We even had the bonus of completely ending the arrangements between me and the ex. Our case is Closed!

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."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
