Hired Attorney

Mari Wise is The Family Lawyer to hire! She is my lawyer and represented me in 2007. For three years, She was a hammer on trying to get my divorce settled and done for me and my children. I highly recommend her and I have! I recommend her to my family and friends. She will fight for you when you feel like the world is upside down and unfair. Thank you, Mari for being my voice and helping me with my divorce. I recently contacted her to request a document I needed and it's been 14 years since our last meeting, she went over and beyond for me. Nothing has changed, she is still a go getter and still willing to help, assist me.

Ms. Wise is an awesome attorney. She is strong, bold, responsive, and determined. My divorce was messy, Ms. Wise was there FOR and WITH me the entire time. I never felt alone, knowing she was handling my case put me at ease. Thank you, Mari, for everything!

Hired Attorney

Mari has represented me twice in the past year. Her professionalism is top tier, and her attention to detail is unmatched. She has been relentless in her efforts to provide the most appropriate supports and services throughout my modification proceedings. The rights of a parent, and what’s in the best interest of [the] children are very apparent in her guidance, representation, and approach. Mari cares tremendously about her clients. I will continue to seek her support, and will continue to recommend her services without hesitation.

Hired Attorney

Mrs. Wise has been nothing but a God send. The second I walked in her office, I knew she was the one to help me with my case. Not only did I realize during my first consultation that she had me and my kids safety and well being a true priority, she also made sure that my feelings and concerns were taken care of. I'm now sole managing conservator of my two beautiful children. As a man trying to raise my babies to be the best they can in this world. I owe it to Mrs. Wise for making it possible

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
