Client Testimonials

My case was a divorce with a challenging and consistently non-responsive ex wife who toggled through 3 different lawyers in as many years. Thanks to the sustained efforts of Sandra Mayberry and team, the matter was resolved favorably, and in a timely manner, sparing me substantial payments of stock option proceeds to my ex.
