Posted on Ruby HussTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been going through a very difficult divorce process since October 2023. It was not only emotionally and financially exhausting, but also legally challenging — with an unfair ex-spouse and a highly problematic lawyer representing him. Throughout it all, Mary stood by me with exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and integrity. She explained every step of the process clearly, always made sure I understood my rights, and guided me with both strength and care. Even during times when I was going through financial hardship, she showed understanding and allowed me time with payments — something I’ll always be grateful for. Mary is someone who truly knows the law, but more importantly, she practices it with fairness, honesty, and compassion. I trusted her completely, and she never let me down. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will protect your interests, guide you with care, and do the job right, I can’t recommend Mary enough. Thanks to her, I was finally able to successfully complete this challenging process and can now move forward with peace of mind.Posted on Michael JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quality service and guidance. Hi there team...just to say 'awesome.Posted on meyling morenoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mary is an exceptional lawyer. Many years ago, I was going through a very difficult divorce and child custody process. Mary provided the legal support, guidance, and strong representation I needed—especially during a time when I was emotionally and mentally overwhelmed. She was fast, efficient, and highly professional throughout the entire process. Nine years later, I reached out to her again because I had unfortunately misplaced some important documents. Not only did Mary remember me, but she also helped resolve the issue in less than 24 hours. Her dedication and professionalism continue to impress me. Thank you, Mary, and your incredible team, for everything you’ve done. -MMPosted on Jodi AnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mary is amazing! I had been dealing with another lawyer for 6 months trying to get my kids back and after meeting with her and discussing options, we were in court with a verdict in my favour within 2 months. Mary was extremely knowledgeable, positive and realistic throughout the entire process. Had I continued with my other lawyer, who knows when I would have gotten my kids back. She was worth every dollar and I highly recommend her if you want someone to fight for you.Posted on Caroline MagalhãesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My divorce with Mary went incredibly smoothly! She’s super competent and efficient, and she really cared about my personal story. I’m so happy to have found an attorney with her expertise and empathy! Thankful for MM Law.Posted on Silvia NuberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fast and efficient service. Mary Ali was very helpful and professional. She gave me clear instructions on how to proceed and make the whole process easy and stress free. I had my divorce done with 3 months, was a lot easier than I though! No hidden fees. Strong recommended!Posted on saima buzdarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the opportunity to work with Mary Ali at MMLaw on a sensitive family law matter, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism, empathy, and expertise. From the very first consultation, Mary provided clear, compassionate guidance that helped me feel supported and informed during a challenging time. She demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and took the time to explain every step of the process with patience and care. Her communication was always prompt and thoughtful, and her ability to balance legal strategy with genuine empathy made a significant difference. Mary is a true advocate for her clients and a credit to the MMLaw team. I would strongly recommend her to anyone navigating family law issues—you’ll be in excellent hands.Posted on Bert KisjesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

A Calgary family lawyer will provide legal advice, representation, and support in matters such as separation, parenting claims, child and spousal support, and division of family property.

The information depends on your situation and the issues that need to be discussed with the lawyer.
