Pearson Butler

If you are on a Met Life Legal, do not call this law office. They will decline providing you services, despite being listed as a participating firm. On two occasions, after telling them my name, the first question they asked was, "Are you a legal plan member." The first time I called they straight up told me they weren't taking on legal plan clients. The second time I called, a week later to see if I could get someone new on the line, the intake person asked the same legal plan question before asking the attorney if they were taking on new family law clients for a name change. I'm thinking my answer to the legal plan question was the determining factor the second time too.

I hired Mary Bevan to represent me during my divorce. While she initially presented a positive outlook and said she would advocate for a fair outcome, the reality was far different. Her communication throughout the process was minimal, and during mediation, she admitted to taking her sick child to daycare, which I feel, motivated her to finish fast that day. She encouraged me to accept an extremely one-sided settlement: minimal child support and alimony, no back pay, and no share of funds my ex withdrew from our accounts or retirement. Despite having strong evidence (including video of infidelity), she repeatedly dismissed its relevance and downplayed my concerns. She also failed to properly investigate significant financial discrepancies--over $60,000 in unexplained income on my ex's bank statements. I left mediation feeling blindsided, unsupported, and trapped. I called immediately afterward trying to withdraw my consent to the agreement, but was told I could not. Looking back, I wish I had a stronger advocate--someone who understood my situation and fought for a truly fair outcome. I do not recommend her to others going through divorce, especially if you're in a vulnerable financial or emotional position.

The receptionist is cold. Transferred me twice to a voicemail to handle my issue and I never received a call back in 1 and a half months when we previously were seen and had a good experience. Now my third time calling I asked for the persons direct phone she transfers me to and she said no I'll transfer you to her voicemail, as if knowing nobody would take my call.

My husband and I met with Callie whom helped us establish an estate plan including a trust. She was thorough in her consultation and was quick to have our documents completed once receiving our wishes for our estate plan. She was so good to work with that we then brought our grandparents in to do their estate plan with her. All employees at Pearson Butler and friendly and responsive on the phone and email. Would highly recommend if looking for a legal office.

Pearson lawyered so good my wife now wants me back. Five stars, marriage saved
