Mary impressed me with her knowledge of Texas Family Law, without even having to reference the book during the initial consult. She even know the law code and section as we were discussing my case. You want someone who knows the law to the bone, especially if you are a father in Texas. She picked apa...rt my ex spouse's attorney's proposal and found all kinds of errors and missing rights that I have as a father. Had I signed that proposal with out an attorney, I would definitely been screwed for many years. I am very happy that I hired her to represent me. Mary and her team are cost conscious and will use every effort to keep your costs low. She will offer her opinions and advice, but she does know that you are the boss in the end. Up front Mary and her team will tell you that the best form of communication with them is by email. And it is. It may seem like a disconnect from an actual person, but trust me, they are very polite and responsive. You have to understand that you are not the firms only client, and you will need to be patient during the process. Going into it, I thought this would be a very quick case. It was not. A divorce may start off amicably, but it can get ugly very quickly. The best bet you have is to make sure you provide this firm with every bit of information you can, by being honest in that information, and by meeting your deadlines. Your attorney can only best represent you when they have your full cooperation. Depending on the matter or question, you will usually get a response within an hour or a day or two with this firm. Expect a back and forth between your attorney and your spouses attorney. You will be informed of every exchange that occurs between Mary and opposing counsel. Every case is different, not all will settle the exact same way. Mine took letting Mary handle my ex's attorney, and me finally being able to reason with my spouse. Divorce is very emotional, and many people act on their emotions, and not logic. Especially when a divorce involves children. I highly recommend Mary and her team. It doesn't hurt to at least get a consultation.
