Awesome to work with..

My Mother in law and Myself hired Ms Robertson to handle a civil matter. It was a bogus accusation but none the less our personal reputations where on the line.. Mrs Robertson spent 30 minutes talking to the plaintiff. Next thing you know Plaintiff dismisses case.. Money well spent.

Mary Elizabeth Robertson - Persistent, Intelligent, and Diligent Lawyer

I've never met anyone that's ever wanted the necessity of hiring or even consulting a lawyer, because it normally means time and money. That being said... I couldn't have had a better experience with Mary Elizabeth. I first got into contact with Mary Elizabeth while she was working at Wiley Nickel's ...Law Firm for 3 charges that had been brought against me relating to alcohol, stolen ID, and resisting an officer. First she consulted me about my situation and the possible outcomes of my specific situation. After speaking to her further about my case, and the possible route she would like to take the case if I were to hire her, I decided to hire her. I will say that it was easily the smartest decision I made when it came to my court case; I only made one call to one firm and I was hooked. She conducted a lot of research surrounding the outline of my case, and specifically the use of "Stop and Identification" by officers along with her peers. In the end she knew the best way to position myself in the line of the court and the right case to make to the DA which inevitably led to the Dismissal of all of my charges. Although I hope never to require the use of a lawyer again, it's unfortunate that she has left the area. I would recommend Mary Elizabeth Robertson without any questions to any of my friends or family in similar or other situations.

Highly Recommend!

I could not have been any luckier in hiring a better lawyer than Ms. Robertson. Mary Elizabeth was very capable and diligent in handling my case. Her "no judgement" consultation and willingness to work with my case in the first place put me at ease immediately. It was a huge relief to know that sh...e was on my side. She was readily available when I needed her and either her or her staff always responded to my calls and emails in a timely fashion, something I have had an issue with in other lawyers. She keep me on task even when I wanted to go against her advisement, which would have been a determent to my case. Even the judge in my final court appearance commended her in representing and advising me to provide the best possible outcome. My case didn't drag out and was finalized in a timely fashion, something that was a huge relieve to me. I highly suggest Mary Elizabeth Robertson and the staff at Wiley Nickel.
