Mary Elizabeth Jones

“Mary Jones was recommended to me by a well-known, recognized Austin family law attorney. This endorsement reflected confidence in Mary by her colleagues and the knowledge that she would win this high conflict and complicated divorce decisively which she did. I have come to believe that Mary is tale...nted and gifted lawyer. Over the 18 months I worked with Mary, I came to understand-though not really knowing the law-that there are outer and inner aspects to a successful case. The outer has to do with all the technical aspects of the law and knowing the minutiae such that no case is insuperable. In my case, Mary dealt with a pre-nuptial agreement executed abroad (Africa). Her brief to the judge was innovative and convincing even though she had not advocated before him prior to my case. She knows what needs to be done and will have the client working effectively on needed details and mechanics of the case right from the beginning. This non-stop drive to perfect a case insures no loss of momentum. She continually seeks improvement on the legal argument. Additionally, her court performance is dazzling. The inner aspect of the case is the work with the client; keeping client fighting and never giving up; helping him or her not to act from bad ideas or their worst instincts. This means getting to know the client well enough to make them their own best advocate. This also requires dealing with the client’s doubt, or anger or fear such that they ultimately, both client and attorney, cross the finish line as winners. In summary, one wants a situation where when the court is over an unknown bailiff spontaneously tells you that you had a ‘heck’ of a lawyer.” Mary is that kind of attorney."
