MGM Law P.A.

It is not an easy thing for people going through challenging times like divorce but MGM Law made sure that I get the deal that will benefit all the concerned parties and above all, my children. From documentation to the legal framework, they handled all the things and stayed in touch with me via emails. The best part is that they sent me all the important documents and worked on them after my approval. Everything was on point. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately this wasnt my first time having to retain a family law lawyer, and let me tell you, this by far was the best overall experience I had! Hiring Mary was the best decision I made, not only her but her assistant Taylor. They made me feel like as if my certain situation was personally happening to them. They kept me updated on EVERYTHING, walked me through every process, explained everything in detail so I could understand, and everything ran as smooth as it possibly could. With the current COVID pandemic and having to do it on videoconference she still killed it! She was very prepared and did her research and compley dominated and lead the whole time! She fights for her clients. Hopefully I dont have to but I will hire her anytime, every time!!! THANK YOU MARY AND TAYLOR!!!!

I hired Mary for a child custody case. It ended up being a difficult case, very long and drawn out due to other circumstances. Mary helped me by keeping me optimistic and always keeping me in the loop of everything going on. She is very compassionate and a very caring attorney. There are many attorneys that seem to be working just for the money and Mary is NOT one of them. She genuinely does things for your best interest and consults you before taking action. She has made this incredibly stressful and difficult process so easy for me. I couldn't thank her enough for everything she has done to win my case. If you need an attorney I would definitely suggest picking Mary to represent you. She was amazing!

After my divorce was finalized, I selected Attorney McDaniel to handle everything from an unexpected update to a parenting plan to the intricate details of a relocation request. She was extremely knowledgeable and handled every detail expeditiously and with care. Even after I relocated, she and her team provided me with constant updates and guidance. If your looking for a knowledgeable and thoughtful attorney that puts the client and more importantly your children first, Attorney McDaniel will not disappoint. I would and will retain her services again if I ever need representation.

While this was perhaps the worst situation I could imagine, the process was smooth and went very quickly. Mary listened to me as I explained what was happening and helped me to clarify what would reasonably occur. I had a lot of un-grounded fears at the beginning of this process, but with Mary's help I was able to realistically evaluate what I needed from the divorce and what I was unlikely to have to face. She made me feel valued throughout the proceedings, and took care of absolutely everything for me. Before I knew it, she had the entire divorce wrapped up and settled to my utmost satisfaction, all without any major conflicts. I could not be happier with the outcome, or with my choice of lawyer.

MGM Law not only resolved my divorce-related issues but I loved how they managed everything like true professionals. They demonstrated exceptional professionalism and paid attention to all the details of my divorce settlement. The best part is their ability to foresee things. It not only saved my time but also helped me in realizing the future risks linked to our previous settlement. They are experienced enough to prevent things that are not even happening now and they managed my divorce settlement from the start. Strongly recommended.

I hired MGM Law to manage and handle my contentious divorce. They were very well organized and accessible. Since it was my first time dealing with such a case and with a law firm, I was confused. To my surprise, they always remained in touch with me and dealt with me patiently and took me out of the complex situation. This is truly the firm that anyone can trust.

I hired Ms. Mary to help me make a decision on how to protect my assets, and if I needed a legal separation or divorce. She helped me through every step of the way. I felt she was honest, straight forward and very helpful. She did not have her own agenda, she listened to what I wanted. She answered my emails the same day. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

I wanted to express how grateful I am to have had your team in my corner all along. They...believed in me and my situation even when I may have doubted myself.It meant a lot to me to have had a team whom I completely trusted in handling my most difficult event in life.'Thank You, Mary McDaniel!

I have referred a few clients to MGM Family Law in the last few months. They are all very happy with the professionalism and high level of customer service Mary and the team provide. Mary and the team are an absolute pleasure to deal with and I have no hesitation referring anyone for family law.

1.0 star rating 4/2/2019I strongly recommend that you do NOT hire Ms. Mary McDaniel for Family Law Matters. This is only my opinion but here are the facts:After speaking with Ms. McDaniel over the phone (I live in another state) and receiving her assurance that I had a good case to reduce or eliminate alimony, that I had been paying for 17 years; and assurance from Ms. McDaniel that my current wife's income and investments would not be considered in determining an appropriate amount of alimony, I agreed to hire Ms. McDaniel.Not being able to use my current wife's income was a very important factor in deciding whether to hire Ms. McDaniel. Because I was told it could not be used, I paid $3,500.00 to secure Ms. McDaniel's services. I sent the original court documents from my divorce to Ms. McDaniel that showed the exact amount of alimony being paid to be ex-wife. I also sent current financial documents to support that I was now retired and that my income had been greatly reduced. I sent joint federal income returns that showed how much money my current wife and I earned prior to our retirements; sent joint bank and credit card statements showing the amount of money being spent and the amount of money coming into our accounts. Those documents showed that my wife and I made a good income prior to our retirements. I also sent in a financial statement. My ex-wife also submitted financial documents.Ms. McDaniel never asked any questions about my income, investments or current lifestyle like the home I lived in, what it cost, the reason for the HELOC loan, my car, trips that were taken, etc. Ms. McDaniel never asked one question about my current wife's income, investments or any other relevant questions.I met with Ms. McDaniel in person and she again said there was Florida case law that supported my request to reduce or eliminate alimony. She again stated that I had a good case to go forward.Ms. McDaniel spent all the $3,500.00 and asked for another $2,500.00. I paid that amount because Ms. McDaniel convinced me that we had a strong case.The attorney for my ex-wife filed for an increase in the alimony based on my income and investments. A deposition was scheduled so each attorney could ask questions before any court hearing was scheduled. My attorney said she would object to any questions asked about my current wife's income and investments but she did not. The attorney for my ex-wife asked the questions MY attorney said he could NOT ask. He asked my current wife's income and her investments; probing questions that should have been asked by my attorney prior to the deposition, prior to the filing of court documents, prior to notifying my ex-wife of this pending action. My attorney stopped the deposition and said I should withdraw my case and pay my ex-wife's attorney his attorney fees, another $3,500.00, or I could suffer a worse fate at a court hearing. Ms. McDaniel was not prepared. She should have asked the same questions coming from the opposing counsel and should have known the answers to those questions before filing court documents and before the deposition. Because of bad advice, this cost me nearly $10,000.00 and I was forced to withdraw my request to modify the alimony. Because Ms. McDaniel allowed me to go to the deposition, my ex-wife now knows of my current wife's income and investments, and my own. And, most likely, in the future, my ex-wife will file legal action to increase her alimony. This was a nightmare!

BEST EVER!! I was desperate and had talked to 3 other family lawyers in pensacola when my pastor recommended Mary. She is such a different kind of lawyer because she cares so much about everyone involved especially the children. the other lawyers were all about 'winning' but Mary could see beyond my anger and hurt and get me the right longterm outcome AND she works really fast! I could not b e more grateful to her and all the people in her office are such good people and totally obvious how much they cared about me and my kids. THANK YOU MARY!!!!

Mary took into consideration every detail of my divorce situation and even brought to light important things that would have been overlooked without having an very experienced attorney like her on your side. She applied specific recommendations that ultimately ensured not only my interests were respresented, but also the interests of all parties involved, especially my children - which was very important to me. This was my first and only divorce and having never navigated the process and I could not have selected a more empathetic, understanding, and experienced attorney who also brought to the table other professional and experienced members of her firm and other members within the community. I would highly recommended Mary to anyone who is having to go through the terrible process of divorce, you could not ask for a more trusted resource in your time of trouble.

Kinsley and I have thank you for everything you helped us through. Thank you for being tough and always keeping my best interest.

I can't even begin to thank MGM Law. Mary and Kimberly has been amazing. My divorce started off nasty, long and drawn out. We also had children involved. No assets, but he filed and then didn't sign. After mediation, he had signed. Mary and Kimberly answered each and every single question I had, and helped my divorce finally be DONE! I am forever grateful for this firm. Highly recommended. Mary is blunt, but she's fierce!

Ms. McDaniel and her staff are great to work with. I highly recommend her!

Mary is an excellent divorce attorney she beat my expectations. I went to her with the mind of having a partial custody of my kids. When other divorce attorney has told me that is not possible Mary got me custody of my kids, if you really need an attorney that can stand and fight your divorce case for you. Please Mary is the answer. MGM Law is affordable and they will work you when it comes to payment.

Attorney McDaniel is the best! I was in need of a great attorney after receiving a child custody petition from my ex husband and from the first meeting with her I KNEW she was what I was looking for. Her staff is extremely professional, thorough and helpful! You can tell Attorney McDaniel hand picked her staff to ensure her office is filled with the best of the BEST. My husband is very particular so it was important to him that we found an attorney to represent us well and in a way that would maintain our dignity, Attorney McDaniel did exactly that! She will fight diligently for you but will be completely honest with you. She is wise and knows the law like the back of her hand. Her staff is always ready and able to answer any of your questions and they do so promptly. She and her staff will make every attempt to do things in the most efficient and cost effective way so you never have to worry about that. I love MGM Law, they are great people that care and my husband and I completely trust them, they have earned our highest level of respect. My husband recommends MGM law to EVERYONE he comes in contact with that's looking for an AMAZING family law attorney!

Mary truly puts her clients needs first, she isnt phased by the minor things and goes above and beyond as an attorney. Mary is extremely professional, and driven to provide the best for her clients. From the moment you walk in you can tell her staff is obviously hand picked to ensure you are always well informed and someone is available for whatever needs you may have. I cant recommend her enough.

Mary McDaniel and team was very professional and helpful through the whole process. They help make this difficult transition as easy as possible. Every step of the process they helped walk me though and made sure that I was kept up-to-date during the process. I would definitely recommend Miss McDaniel and Staff.

Ms. McDaniel genuinely cares for her clients, and more importantly for the children involved in custody cases. They have, and always should come first. She has been my attorney for a few years now, and I cannot thank her enough for her hard work ensuring that I always maintain my custody rights to my child. Mary and her staff are prompt in responding to any questions or concerns, and have done so with respect and empathy. I highly recommend Ms. McDaniel for child custody cases.

I couldnt be more pleased with all the fine folks at MGM. And I dont just mean the results. Which were exactly what I had hoped for. They were professional, compassionate and fair throughout the entire process.

Mary and her team are professional, dedicated, and most certainly result oriented. I whole heartedly made the right choice and would highly recommend her. Thank you so very much!

Ms. McDaniel is the most knowledgeable and compassionate attorney in Pensacola. Mary and her staff are honest and upfront on what to anticipate throughout the process. They will keep you informed of their plan of action regarding your situation and will work tirelessly to achieve successful results. You will be very thankful you have Mary and her staff representing you!

MGM Law has truly been an answer to prayer for me. My divorce dragged on and on and started becoming ugly - much to my personal chagrin - when a coworker told me about MGM Law and how wonderfully he was treated during his divorce. I'd been married to my son's dad for 22 years. There are so many emotions tied to decisions that had to be made. I'm not very good at making decisions to protect myself. Thankfully, Mary (Kimberly and Bailee as well) helped me see the big picture of things so that I could make good decisions that will affect my son. Mary didn't push for me to take 'everything he has', she only discussed doing the best to support my son and I and that made all the difference in the world to me.Thank you all so very much for your guidance, efforts, and the tissues! :)

I highly recommend her. She is great at what she does. I am from out of state. She has helped me threw this long custody process. I am glad to say i pick the right firm to help me. Thank you again mary

As a fellow family law attorney in Pensacola, I can highly recommend Mary McDaniel. I have worked on a case against her and she did a great job for her client. She gets the job done and does it quickly.

Great attorney with a great staff that is kind and compassionate while having excellent knowledge of the law with reasonable fees. A+ service you wont go wrong choosing Mary Mcdaniel and her firm.

As a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Law mediator and divorce financial planner, I've always found Mary to be a real professional. She's a fierce advocate to her clients and I truly enjoy working with her.

Mary McDaniel is brilliant! She was a lifesaver in my custody case. Her firm was kind and friendly. They always kept me informed of everything that was going on. Best attorney in Pensacola hands down.

Ms. McDaniel has been my attorney for almost two years during a very nasty, ugly divorce. She was able to have a post-marital settlement that was signed under duress and would have left me penniless after a 31 year marriage. She dealt with many untruths from my former husband, and when he lost the post marital settlement, he fired his original attorney and hired another attorney that put us back to almost square one. Because the divorce and other factors, Mary put up with my emotions that ran the spectrum from happiness to be rid of my former husband to pure anger over what the lies and accusations he was telling. She was very professional with her interactions with me and let me know when I was allowing my feelings to interfere with my common sense. I would like to add that Mary's staff, Kim and Jessica, are great! She has surrounded herself with wonderful staff who put up with my numerous phone calls and emails.Overall, I would recommend Mary McDaniel and her staff to represent anyone in a divorce. She will fight for you and make sure you get what you deserve.

Mary McDaniel of MGM Law is a fellow attorney in this local area who practices family law. Since I do not practice family law, I often have opportunity to recommend a good family law attorney. I recommend clients to her without reservation knowing that she will take good care of them.

Most unethical attorney I have ever worked with.

I was struggling so terrible with custody issue , not only to Mary and her staff guide me she offered confidence and emotional support when I was so crushed sitting there . There are many big dog attorneys in pensacola I was tired of hearing about I wanted someone I felt actually cared bout me . I HIT THE JACKPOTMARY IS THE BOMB

She cares.... Had some staff changes no fault but was harmful.
