She Heard Me and Helped

I cannot thank Marybeth enough for her outstanding support and advocacy during my child custody case. She is an amazing attorney who is dedicated to helping children and families navigate through the complex family law system. When I left my husband after years of abuse it felt like no one believe...d what I had gone through and was still experiencing. Then I met Marybeth. Not only did she take the time to hear me, she made sure everyone else knew what he did to me. She fought tirelessly to protect me and my child, and make sure that our voices were heard in court. Marybeth is a compassionate and caring lawyer who understands the emotional toll that family law cases can take on children. She was always available to answer my questions and provided me with the guidance and support that I needed. I highly recommend Marybeth to anyone who is seeking a family law attorney who will listen to victims and put their child's needs first. She is an excellent lawyer who truly cares about the mothers and children she represents. If you want someone who will fight for you, Marybeth is the one to call.

Didn’t want to need a lawyer but glad I found one like her

I am just coming off of a horrible divorce which has been a fight for months and months. I was very lucky to have been referred by a friend to Marybeth. She got into my case part of the way through things and was able to catch up quickly. She explained things my other lawyer never did and it helpe...d me really understand why things were taking so long. I just had no idea that a divorce can take over a year or even two when it is contested. I worked with Marybeth to get information exchanged with the other lawyer and then we started to have settlement discussions. I was finally able to be officially divorced within just a few weeks of involving her. I would recommend her to anyone who feels they are not getting the representation they deserve from another lawyer.

out of state complicated custody case

Mary Beth has been very proactive in getting things done, has kept us informed of what is going on. She is very warm and caring to speak with and genuinely cares about the children and their well being. She has gotten better results then the state we reside in did for the past three years.

Great work in my divorce

I just finished my divorce case and had a great experience with Marybeth. She always kept me updated and informed. She also helped me figured out ways to keep my costs down.

Worst lawyer ever

Hired Mary Beth she did not do anything to help our case she would not listen to any of our suggestions and we lost. She did not even fight for us she said the other people are lying so they wont win but they did win. Then she dropped us said we payed one hundred less then we did ,and then sent us... someone else financial statements which we still have to return to the state bar association. Do not hire this lawyer if you want your children. Also you could never get a hold of her at $175 an hour you deserve communication
