Excellence is an Understatement
I can not recommend Mary highly enough, if you have a case which has to go to court. Her presence in the courtroom alone, is worth the price of admission.

World Class Attorney in Spokane WA
Ms. Schultz is “World Class" in terms of effective and experienced counsel. Especially on matters requiring local expertise and understanding the dynamics of the local court's personalities and processes. She knows exactly when to make a very pointed response to an argument - when bundled together all the traits you want from counsel (articulate, smart, tough, simply brilliant). Apart from professional expertise, she's extremely well rounded in a host of other ways that makes her a one of a kind attorney to be around. Nick Lungu

In another league
No joke, this is the best lawyer you will ever see in a courtroom. Just brilliant. And it’s really fun to watch. I've worked with a number of attorneys, and been to court with attorneys in business litigations. I have seen Mary Schultz try cases off and on—a lot of lawyers and others in the court system come to watch when she’s there. Amazing presence. Never overdone. Not hard or demanding--She just gets people. You can tell she loves what she does, and who she represents. I can't convince Mary to represent me on our business matters, because she only wants to do medical cases now, but we're fans for life. Absolutely recommended. You’re going to trial? Without peer.
