Compassionate, trustworthy, honest, and so kind and easy to talk to!

As some cases go, I've had more than one occasion to need Mary's help. Thankfully, since the very first meeting, it became a very easy decision to reach out to her each time I needed to. She know's how to make you feel very at ease and comfortable when sharing some of the hardest things one has to go... through. She not only has the professional experience and background...but she also has the heart and compassion to go with it. I would (and have) highly recommended her to anyone I know. She made me feel important, when I was feeling lost and confused. She made me feel strong, when I felt the most vulnerable. She made me feel confident things would work out, when I felt like my life was turned upside down. She is a great attorney that has surrounded herself with some of the best staff/support to help along the way. The help from everyone made the process feel less difficult and stressful than it might otherwise be. There was never a doubt that any questions or concerns I might have would be addressed within a timely manner...and always with an informative, helpful and friendly response. I felt well taken care of!

I was in a room of Super Hero's

I found Mary through a referral from a family friend; coming to her at the end of a long term marriage of over 10 years. I was terrified and certain my life was over. I could not see past the darkness of divorce or the financial burden that now faced me daily. After my very 1st visit I knew I was... safe, I would be protected through this new process by a kind, graceful, knowledgeable woman who understood every emotion a divorce (especially one involving children) draws out of a person. She gave me the ability to stand tall and strong but then gave me a shelter in which I could emotionally crumble into later. My desires became her focus. Her direct communication of information left no room for misunderstanding or confusion. I faced shared custody with an active alcoholic, the loss of my home, pension, savings, 401K and my sanity. Mary and her staff stood my side supporting communication between both parties so that an amicable resolution could be reached. At times, this meant she had to be dedicated to encouraging me to have direct contact with my spouse. My divorce was successful and exceeded my expectations only through the combined efforts of Mary, Sophia, Sunny, and Roxanne. Each person involved deserves to be mentioned. Sophia, Mary’s right hand attorney on my case - was in my eyes to Mary as Robin is to Batman. (I told you I was in a room of Super Hero’s!) Her intelligence, court presence and ability to meet me emotionally were outstanding. There was never a moment where I doubted the strength of my representation. Now, the first person you meet when you enter the office is Sunny, who’s name fits her perfectly! Her shinning smile, gentle tone, and peaceful demeanor fill the office. She is the perfect person to encounter when you first walk into a divorce attorney’s office. Now, everyone knows attorneys don't work for free...they do have a billing department and so I bring you Roxanne. She is not just a bill collector, for whenever she called me humanity and empathy were in her voice; helping me relax through the necessary payment process. My divorce is now over and I will be forever grateful to Mary and her staff for all they did both individually and collectively for me.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mary is very knowledgeable. I often seek her input on difficult and less mundane family law issues and she gives me excellent guidance."

Family lawyer | Mar 01

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Ms. Naimish is extremely knowledgeable, sharp, and "does her homework." She represented a "stay-at-home-mom." The parties child was a senior in high school during most of the case (which she inherited from another lawyer) and started college shortly after the case settled. Ms. Naimish was shrewd, calculating, careful and successful in ensuring that her client's time out of the workforce was not unfairly used against her. I strongly recommend Ms. Naimish for long-term marriages where spousal support is an issue, and/or where there are multiple assets, such as real estate, to divide/address. I suspect she is not the least expensive attorney in San Diego. But I would certainly not decide who will be going through the most difficult time of your life as your advocate based on a clearance sale pricing offer."
