“We reached out to Mary for help regarding an issue that occurred with my son in Bloomington. She is wonderful! She was able to explain the entire process of what we needed to do, what was required or potentially could occur and advised us on what we should do if there is an issue. She was 100% correct in everything she explained regarding the event and how to proceed.

What made our call and discussion even more powerful was her complete and honest transparency. She clearly said to wait until the legal and court discussions occur before we even proceed to hire her. We couldn’t ask for a better lawyer. She gave us the reassurance and confidence we needed for this issue and she was completely correct on the outcome.
