This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best attorney

I have had the pleasure to work with and have Mary represent me in my divorce. She is very knowledgeable, professional, logical, kind and a great communicator. She has her clients (mine) best interest at heart. She is extremely reasonable with her fees and providing you access to her time. I real...ly can not say enough good things about her. And no, she is not related in any way to me. She is just great at what she does.

Excellent DIvorce Lawyer

Mary represented me in my divorce case. She took over from another divorce attorney that got me nowhere in several months. She is honest, direct and hard worker. She and her staff are very responsive. She have helped me drive the process to completion, eventually through a settlement. She advised me... throughout the case , where I should fight and where I should settle. She won't hesitate to advise against her client position if she thinks they are unreasonable and has no chance to stand in court, which saved me a lot of time and money. I am grateful to Mary on her work for me and I recommended her to friends.

highly recommends Mary Bird

Mary Bird is an excellent and experience lawyer. And (and this is a BIG plus) she is 100% honest, when she feel you are making a mistake or are better off settling she won't be shy about it. She saved me a lot of time, money and agony in my divorce process and for that i would highly recommend her ...to all my friends.
