From Our Clients
“I hate to admit that this was my second divorce. The good news is that Mrs. Blunt made it as painless as possible. She was professional, responsive, and all around fantastic. She answered all of my questions in language that made sense and acted in the most ethical and professional way I’ve ever experienced from an attorney. It would be a mistake to go anywhere else for your family law needs.”
“I had a divorce that took 5 years. Thankfully it ended almost 4 years ago. Mercedes was my ex’s attorney, not mine. I felt she was fair and wanted to help us along on our separate paths. Not your ordinary divorce attorney; I believe she has a heart and was trying to do the best job she was capable of for her client. This is what you would think all divorce attorneys would aim for but it simply is not the norm. If I were ever to get married again and divorced, I would hire her. “
“Fantastic! Patty, Nima, and Mercy all listened to what I wanted to get out of my filing for custody, and worked with me every step of the way. They were so professional and really did pretty much everything for me, including what I was asking for! I would recommend them to anyone. “
