Client Comments

“Thank you so much for your expertise, counsel and all that you did for me. I had never worked with an attorney and was obviously apprehensive, but you made me feel relaxed and protected at a time when I felt most vulnerable and insecure. You asked difficult questions, shared your thoughts honestly, guided and pushed me gently when necessary.

Your high ethical standards and fairness, thoughtful and calm communication style, accurate memory and skilled financial record keeping (I dream about columns!) set you apart from others along with your knowledge of the law, incredible patience, attention to details, timely responses and sense of humor. I am so happy to have had the privilege of working with you. Thank you wholeheartedly for making the transition with me.”

”The need for a Family Law attorney is usually accompanied by a host of associated intense anxieties. Retaining an "adequate" attorney will likely leave you frustrated, having spent more towards an acceptable outcome than if you had hired someone "outstanding" in their focused area of practice. Catherine Conner came highly recommended to me as a local attorney, well qualified to handle the complexities of my unusual case.”

I could not be more satisfied with Catherine's exceptional advice and service. Consistently her strategies and preparations proved to be well thought out and efficiently executed. Perhaps the most vivid examples of her excellent reputation were highlighted in the courtroom when my case and petitions received unusual levels of credibility, simply because she was my attorney. It became increasingly evident that her reputation for knowledge of the law, thoroughness, and fairness had preceded my case, and I thereby greatly benefited from it.

Exceptional legal representation is never inexpensive, rendering a firm's efficiency in managing your case the single greatest cost-saving potential. I am still amazed at how quickly Catherine and her staff were able to process the required paperwork, and I remain confident I received great value for my expenditures.”

“Making that initial phone call to a divorce attorney's office was the most difficult thing I had ever done. By the time you finally make that call, you've been through a lot. I don't know what I expected from that first call, but it wasn't that I'd end my conversation with a warm feeling because the paralegal I spoke with really listened to me, gave my life validation, and assured me, "Kim, you didn't do anything wrong; you're a good person." It was great to be able to get some reassurance over the phone and not just hear, "O.K., Thursday at three -- be here."

"When I met Amy Rodney, who became my attorney, she had already reviewed the paralegal's notes, was familiar with my situation, and we were ready to get down to business. I remember the feeling of relief I had when Amy looked at me and said, "Kim, I'm going to take care of you." And, she has taken care of me in the kindest and most professional manner I could hope for. Throughout the process, I have been impressed with her knowledge of the law and her negotiating skills.

I highly recommend the law firm of Conner, Lawrence & Rodney.”

“Recently I retained the firm to formalize my Estate Planning and to prepare the necessary legal documents insuring my wishes and expectations are fulfilled once I am gone. I experienced great advice, service and value from MaryClare Lawrence, who handled the Estate Planning issues for me.”

”We were bereft when our Mother passed away unexpectedly, soon after the death of our father. Our family was reeling. We were eight siblings (and numerous grandchildren) from all across the country, suddenly dealing with the loss of a beloved parent, funeral arrangements and the huge task of processing an estate and divvying up the personal items that we all grew up with. MaryClare was a godsend. She understood our need to accomplish these tasks with efficiency and without harming the integrity of the family unit. Prior to her death, our mother had the foresight to select MaryClare as her personal attorney to create revocable trust. What a gift from our mother! By placing the majority of her assets inside the trust, she ensured that we did not have to endure probate. Before her death, we were amazed and delighted with the time MaryClare took to make sure that Mom understood the planning process and was comfortable with each decision. Mom would never have accomplished this without MaryClare's thoughtful, skillful and kind guidance. After Mom's death, MaryClare helped us resolve the estate issues, and just as importantly, helped us to find the best ways to handle the emotional issues of dividing personal assets. As business owners, we appreciate her quick, efficient responses to questions and legal guidance. As family members, MaryClare's advice has been our steadfast guidance through this emotional and difficult period of time. We highly recommend MaryClare for both her exceptional legal strength and her family counseling skills.”
