* DEDICATED *

Ms. Wise is an amazing Lawyer who puts effort and dedication into her cases. She cares about her clients. Throughout my divorce she was there for me. Mari is responsive, bold, and got me everything I was intitled to. She also took the time in explaining each and every process. Thank you, Mari, for... everything!

Client

Mari has represented me twice in the past year. Her professionalism is top tier, and her attention to detail is unmatched. She has been relentless in her efforts to provide the most appropriate supports and services throughout my modification proceedings. The rights of a parent, and what’s in the bes...t interest of [the] children are very apparent in her guidance, representation, and approach. Mari cares tremendously about her clients. I will continue to seek her support, and will continue to recommend her services without hesitation.

Amazing attorney!

Mrs. Wise has been nothing but a God send. The second I walked in her office, I knew she was the one to help me with my case. Not only did I realize during my first consultation that she had me and my kids safety and well being a true priority, she also made sure that my feelings and concerns were ...taken care of. I'm now sole managing conservator of my two beautiful children. As a man trying to raise my babies to be the best they can in this world. I owe it to Mrs. Wise to have made that become a reality. I'll be forever in her debt.... I know that she will always look out for me and my kids best interest. it's been a real struggle of these last few months. I've been able to make it through this knowing that Mrs. Wise has had my back the whole way though. She's an Angel that God sent to us...

Quick and Efficient!

Mari handled my divorce better than any Joe Blow I could have settled with. She knew what I needed more than I did and looking back, I couldn't have found a better attorney to handle my unique situation. When anyone asks if I recommend a divorce attorney, her named is the only one tossed out there....

THE WISEST LAW FIRM

I’ve been working with Mari Wise since 2012 off and on for custody of my son. I’ve won two custody battles now with Mrs. Wise and I’m very fortunate and grateful to have such a knowledgeable attorney like her. She stood by my side through both battles no matter what obstacle was thrown in front of us... and we were victorious every time. As long as you listen to everything she tells you to do or not do, I can guarantee you will land at the winning side of whatever custody issue you have. My son was going thru some serious neglect and abandonment several years ago and she guided me the right direction to get him home with me where he has been safe and secure since then. Not only did she manage to get my son to come live with me, but she also worked hard to keep him with me. The opposing party made attempts to get my son to live back with them but Mrs. Wise fought HARD to keep him with me and succeeded. She was also able to collect ALL the back pay that was owed to me for child support. Everything she says and does is directly for the child’s best interest, which is what should be expected for any attorney who specializes in family law. Mrs. Wise does not hold back and is very aggressive in everything she applies herself to but not disrespectful at all. Which is the kind of approach you need in order to survive in this field. She dug VERY deep and spent numerous hours helping with both of my cases and I’m thankful for all the work she put in the last 3 years, helping with my custody battles. I could not imagine a more professional attorney then Mrs. Wise. This last custody battle I had went on for 14 long months and it was very difficult for me but we finally won thanks to Mrs. Wise. Its so nice seeing my son experience something he’s basically never experienced in the 14 years of his life, stability. And I owe all of it to Mrs. Wise. If you are looking for the right attorney to handle your custody issues, look no further, Mrs. Wise is your answer and she’s the best at what she does.
