Mary W. Cusack's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I consulted with Ms Cusack during a very challenging family law case in 2016. Mary reviewed numerous trust documents, pleadings, etc. in a very short span of time; she was then able to synthesize the relevant trust/family and succinctly explain the interrelated legal issues quickly and efficiently while also successfully managing to address several complex issues related to the trust-related portion of the case. She was generous with her knowledge and time."
"Mary is an excellent attorney with a great deal of knowledge in her field. I have referred clients to her in the past, and will continue to do so with confidence. It is a pleasure to call Mary a trusted colleague."
"Mary is a great attorney who has a tremendous depth of knowledge when it comes to estate planning and probate matters."
"I endorse this lawyer."
