I could not thank her enough, she was excellent, very calming and responsive. I would definitely recommend Mary for help with navigating through your divorce, she is experienced, very smart, knows the law and will try to get your case settled efficiently, she will not try to take advantage of you and is very fair and reasonable with her fees. Highly highly recommended.

When I started my search in January of 2021 for an attorney I came across Mary's picture online.I was drawn to her and hired her.She truly was an angel to me. She never gave up and she kept fighting for me. The outcome was better that I thought it would be. I feel so blessed to have found Mary and her wonderful staff. I had many bad days and Annette helped me thru it and eased my mind. Kameron was always available when Mary wasn't. This team is very hardworking and will fight to the end for you. I will definitely recommend Mary Davis law firm again. Thank you, Mary, Cameron,and Annette

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mary and her entire team. After interviewing multiple attorneys my husband and I knew she was the one to go with for our family law issues. Her paralegals were phenomenal, and Mary not only was excellent at communicating and keeping us informed about everything but she insightful too. We never were left wondering “what if…” she fought for my husband and our family so diligently and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. She is beyond knowledgable about all things family law and you could tell being at court with her she has great rapport with other attorneys. She makes the litigation process stress free and really goes above and beyond for her clients. If you’re in the process of looking for an attorney this is the one you should go with!

Mary took the time to discuss my issues with short notice given and I appreciated that. However, she listened and strategized with me and I couldn’t have asked for more. I look forward to working with Mary.

If you are in need of a divorce attorney, it's important to find someone who is knowledgeable, experienced, and compassionate and who is willing to advocate for you. Having gone through a marathon divorce (just 3 months short of 5 years), I can say that it's a difficult and emotional process, but having the right attorney made all the difference for me. I had the pleasure of working with Mary Davis, an excellent divorce attorney based in the suburbs, even though my case was in Chicago. I had been told I needed a big firm lawyer. By the time I walked into Mary’s office, almost four years in, I had been through five previous law firms! As a primary care-giving spouse, I was in need of a lawyer who could help me understand my ex’s businesses and partnerships finances. I had no understanding of disbursements, business tax returns, or valuations. I was in way over my head! From the moment I met Mary, I knew she was the right fit for me. She was warm and friendly while also being professional and knowledgeable. Mary took the time to listen to my story and understand my goals for the divorce. Throughout the process, she was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance. She was never annoyed by my close attention to my case, like other attorneys I had hired. Even in times when I lost it, she always remained professional and rooted in what needed to be done to get me where I wanted to be. One of the things I appreciated most about Mary was her advocacy on my behalf. Especially in contrast to my previous lawyers. Her advocacy on my behalf always felt personal. Another thing to know about Mary is her ability to negotiate and give excellent counsel on what your next move should be. She is a tough lawyer, and you will experience that when she needs to advise you against making a wrong move, but she is always caring and classy with it. I truly believe that without Mary's guidance and expertise, I would have been destroyed in the “justice” system. I would highly recommend Mary Davis to anyone in need of a divorce attorney. She is an excellent communicator, a skilled negotiator, and truly cares about her clients. If only I had known about her from the beginning and hadn’t heard all that nonsense about having to have lawyer who belonged to certain organizations, I wouldn’t have wasted tens of thousands on ineffective lawyers. I had three, and none of them did anything near what this woman did for me and my son. Her billing was reasonable, and she was SO MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE. Do I recommend her? ABSOLUTELY, YES! Mary, if you see this, Thanks again! So much!!

I began a long difficult journey in 2003 when my daughter was born and her mother had many issues that unfortunately would have made living together let alone raising a child together the wrong & worst decision for everyone involved. I filed for custody as soon as she was born which I knew would make a difficult situation worse in the short term but I was focused on my daughter's well being and safety for the long term. No one in my family or any of my friends have been in a situation like this, so not knowing or being referred to any family/custody attorney for help, I fell victim to aggressive and steady marketing which I quickly regretted. I have found that many attorneys will ring you up to the tune of $10,000 in fees just learning your back story and going to a few status dates which simply were to set future status dates and as soon as you aren't paying them in considerable lump sum amounts to keep up as you finally start having meaningful court dates, they will request to withdraw/drop you in a heartbeat. Some charge you to listen to your voicemails then call you and ask you about your voicemail which is unnecessary but when you're emotionally charged up you can't wait to tell them, hence you're charged for telling the same story twice. I've even had some charge me for their drive time to Court, gas, as well as their costs for parking which I later learned are all items they are not supposed to charge. Long story short, through many years of bringing consistent police reports, arrests, orders of protection, supervisors, ER visits, DCFS investigations, 4+ court appointed GALs, mediations, violated Court Orders & visitation schedules, counseling, many different Judges, hearings, depositions, etc etc to the Court's attention over a 15 year period, I went through way too much for far too long that should have been resolved years earlier. I went through several attorneys, some left me due to not being able to provide the lump sums of money they requested and left even when it was right before very crucial hearings, others I left because they barely provided me any time or assistance with my case. I was referred to Mary Davis later in this process by a GAL, and that's when things finally changed for the better. She keeps you extremely on track as to what we needed to focus on, despite my head scrambling all over the place with 1,000 things to discuss about the past 14 yrs of court. She kept me focused and we resolved and ended my nightmare case in a timely manner which quite honestly felt like a miracle to me by that point. I feel that if I had her represent me earlier in this debacle or even better from the beginning that things would have gone much better and faster saving me years of frustration, but unfortunately I had to learn the hard way. Who you have represent you is far more important than anyone realizes and you need someone that knows what they're doing, cares about their clients and helps you resolve the issues that cause us literally years of emotional and financial pain. Mary was the attorney that put an end to the most difficult years and situations that I had to endure and I am grateful for her.

Mary goes above and beyond for her clients. Mary, and her office treat you like family. Absolutely will not give up on getting you the best outcome for your case. I have been a client of Mary's for four years now. She got me through a terrible hard fought divorce, and parental agreement custody battle. She fought tooth and nail for my father's rights, and got me 50/50 custody, and still fighting, and exceeding expectations with every time i call her. She's always there for you. So if you're looking for an attorney that cares, and has years of experience fighting for fathers rights, Call Mary. You will NOT be disappointed in your decision.

The initial call to Mary was all it took to know, she was exactly what I needed. Her wide knowledge of the law in these types of cases helped tremendously! She laid out what was expected in my case, and put to rest any misconceptions. She completely turned my case around and my outcome was much better than it would have been with prior counsel. Her passion for the job and analytical skills were excellent, she tactfully responded to any “curveballs” thrown at us. Mary was able to interpret and respond practically and appropriately. Her compassion for her clients is also noteworthy. 5 Stars!!!

Sophisticated! Superb! Exceptional! Unparalleled !!!

She never called back and only cared if I had money to pay her the first call. Now I have to start over. I’m tired of crooked lawyers in Illinois.

Mary Davis is the best divorce lawyer in DuPage county hands down. I never thought that I would need a divorce lawyer (who does) but a friend referred me to her and I am very glad that he did. She has always been very professional and compassionate. Divorce is very stressful. Nobody wants to deal with lawyers in general but you can tell that Mary cares about her clients and the outcomes of their cases and especially when children are involved. I highly recommend her. Thank you for the help and guidance during this very rough time Mary, Kam and the team at MD law.

I can't tell you how impressed I am with Mary Davis' professionalism and knowledge!! She works very diligently on each and every case she retains!!! Her staff is very helpful and is quick to answer any questions that may arise!! Mary cares about her clients and will do whatever it takes to get the job done!!! Mary is definitely the BEST!!!
