"I have had the pleasure of knowing Mary and her firm for almost two decades in a range of contexts, including as a friend, client and on behalf of the American Bar Association.  It’s hard to know where to begin in describing Mary because she is such an exceptional human being. Mary is a person of the highest integrity. She doesn’t do the easy thing, she does the right thing even when it’s hard.  And she can do the hard stuff."  

"Mary’s commitment to people is rare.  At a time when I was struggling with family and estate matters, her guidance and technical assistance were critical. But even that isn’t the entire picture. Mary cares deeply about her clients, colleagues, and people in general.  Thus, it’s not just that she’s a strategic thinker, it’s that she gets results as she provides support and kindness.  She fiercely defends her clients and friends  - not that there’s a difference between the two.  You want her in your corner."

"Mary is an exceptional leader.  She cares about both performance and wellbeing.  Advocating for the latter in a profession that isn’t known for caring much about people, she is a thought leader, inspiring through speaking, podcasts, and writing.  If you are lucky enough to know Mary, you can’t get enough."
