Mary Elizabeth Van Orman

Do not even consider hiring Mary Van Orman. She will milk you for every penny you have, and then she will leave you hanging when the money well runs dry. She had me get into a custody battle with my ex wife just to get more money out of me. It was a waste of resources. She did nothing to help me ...with my case. She must have had a new para every couple of months. She is highly unorganized, and I wouldn't recommend her to anyone.

Mary was recommended to me by a friend who is also a lawyer. I can say up front that Mary is a top-notch lawyer AND she's extremely honest and ethical. From the initial consultation with Mary, she was very up front about what to expect (during the process and the expected outcome) and what the fees w...ould be for her services. I think it's important to note that Mary will not B.S. you. She will not take your money and tell you what you want to hear. She is a straight-shooter and will tell you like it is - whether you like it or not. Personally, I appreciate that honesty as I was going through one of the most stressful times in my life. Throughout the entire process, Mary was amazing! She provided much needed guidance and compassion to me and my children. She got me through my divorce, and her main focus during every part of the case was what was best for my children. The opposing counsel in my case was less than ethical, but Mary continued through the process doing things "the right way," which I appreciated and admired. If you want the best lawyer in the area who will do everything in her power to help you, I would STRONGLY recommend Mary.

Ms Van Orman is an exceptionally passionate attorney and always has the children's best interest at heart. Mary is a personal friend of mine and for that reason, I did not initially use her as my attorney. When things started to spiral out of control with my case using another attorney, I turned to... Mary for help. Initially I just asked her advice, but she stepped in and resolved my case that had been dragging on for about a year and settled it up within about a month. We still remain friends but I look at her in a new light as a remarkably professional exceptional family law attorney. I have no reservation recommending her to anyone....in fact I've sent several colleagues to her already!
