Hard Working Attorney

Mary Jones is an EXCELLENT attorney! She worked with my family on a very complex estate case where the father of my deceased nephew was unknown. Mary did extensive research on paternity and establishing paternity in the state of Texas. Her brief was amazing and I will be very surprised if that is not... taught in family law classes in years to come. At all times, Mary was responsive and very communicative, really taking the time to understand our family situation and various personalities. Mary represented us very well in court and we were able to achieve the outcome we were all hoping for. Without Mary Jones on board, I fear our case would still be languishing. I highly recommend Mary Jones. She will work very, very hard for you!

Truly a Godsend!

Mary Jones was truly a blessing from above!!! We are privileged to being parents of eight children. Our large family is relocating seven hours away and in the midst of it, we were dealing with obtaining delayed birth certificates for two of them. Our case was so rare that even a few people in the... district clerk's office were uninformed of the process of it. This explains the reason every attorney or legal aid agent my husband and I spoke with were unaware of how to proceed our case. It was a very frustrating time for us. It seemed like the odds were against us! On the brink of my wits end, I called Ms. Mary Jones and she unveiled a plethora of information in her research for our case. And to top it off she was friendly, compassionate, and determined. I am grateful that I did not give up on what seemed like a hopeless situation.
