Libby is amazing! She took on my unique case after struggling to find an attorney to fit my needs. She took her time to do proper research and be prepared. I love how confident she was when we were in the courtroom and it definitely put me at ease as well. I highly recommend McNary Legal to anyone needing a family law attorney.

A solid attorney, but you can find better. As a sole practictioner with no paralegal, you will have trouble getting in touch with her as she is usually in court most days. She also went on vacation without notifying me a week before our trial date which left us to scramble to get prepared on the Monday before the Tuesday trial. I honestly did not feel like much effort or focus was put into my case, but she did talk me down from filing unnecessary motions.

A complete waste of time and money! She Accomplished NOTHING, even less than nothing, causing me harm with her incompetence. I waited three months for a temporary support hearing that was cancelled two days before her maturity leave, it was cancelled due to her failure to file the basic required court documents! I had to start over with another attorney after paying her $3500. I also had much of the same experience as the other poor reviews here. She would get extremely defensive and yes, even rude and threaten to withdraw when I would ask why nothing was being accomplished in my case. She never returned phone calls, and rarely answered emails. Very frustrating! I also felt she put no effort or focus into my case. She may have been a decent attorney at a previous point in her career, but, 4 out of the past 5 reviews sing the same song! I highly recommended you find another attorney! It is not coincidence that many people are unhappy and posted the same experience with her, and she seems to have an excuse for everything, and appears to blame the clients. She claims a client sent 40 emails, I would bet it is because she didn’t answer the first 39!
Client response Sept. 15, 2018 Wow! How would you like her to reveal your attorney/client privileges! She has no right saying ANYTHING about my case on a public forum! She will turn on you and make it look like it’s your fault that she did not do her job! You notice she does not address her incompetence on filing the standard paperwork with the court! She tries to turn it on me! She is completely lying that I refused mediation, she prematurely scheduled it with opposing council without receiving the minimal Mandatory Disclosure and discovery documents from the other side (it is impossible to negotiate at a mediation without all the facts) and forgot to inform me of the scheduled meditation until the Friday before a Monday hearing! She requested I secure another lawyer because of her maturity leave! BEWARE unless you don’t mind that she reveals details of your case on social media! I will now be reporting this breach of confidence to the Florida Bar!
Libby is very professional in the way she handles her clients. She made sure that she had my interests in the forefront. I would highly recommend her!

I am totally dissatisfied with the representation that Miss Mcnary was suppose to support me. She was clearly preoccupied with her recent break up and her moving into s different home. She canceled and made inconvenient times to meet due to cable and came totally unprepared for our meeting. She said she went home for lunch and forgot my psperwork. She was very short with me and always rushing. Very unprofessional. I had most of the same issues that the other negative reviews claimed. It took almost a month to serve a simple petition. Do not use this lawyer and if I don't get the refund I am owed, I will go to the next step.

I called today to request some more information and to see if Libby could help with my case. She was extremely rude and short over the phone. She always laughed and said "first of all I don't do free consults" when I asked if she did free consults. Felt very disrespected

I can't thank Libby enough for her help with my child support modification case. She went above and beyond to help me. She is extremely knowledgeable in family law and explained everything to me so i knew what was going on with the case. I would recommend her to anyone needing an attorney for family law.

Absolutely incredible experience with McNary legal. They have a better handle on family law than anyone I’ve encountered and they understand how dynamic and delicate these matters can be. I have and would recommend them to anyone I know in need of sound legal assistance.

I'm glad I hired Libby to finally help me get divorced. Unfortunately, between my ex-husband and his useless lawyer, it took us one year to finalize the divorce. I had hired another lawyer with a big office and legal assistant but I never felt like they helped move the process along. Libby was always easy to get in contact with and would respond to my emails and calls within days. She was very helpful throughout the process answering my questions and facilitating communication with the other attorney. I would highly recommend Libby McNary. P.S: If you don't want to use up your retainer stupidly with ANY lawyer (and then accuse the lawyer of not doing anything), don't send a million emails, let the lawyer take care of things and get back to you in a timely manner. This is what I unknowingly did with my previous attorney not realizing that I was wasting time and money.

My wife and I hired miss McNary based off of reviews we saw during a search for a good family law attorney. She requires all of the money up front and told us a long list of things she would accomplish during the consultation which she deducts hour from her retainer ($2500)..None of what we asked was accomplished. What was crazy is how she quickly accomplished the request for the petitioner's requests but when we had her on our case for 4 months, she was incapable of obtaining financial affidavits from the petitioner (or so she says). However, the new attorney we hired put in paperwork that mandated the other party's financials within a day while Ms. McNary justified the entire sum of the retainer with how she had to respond to our emails asking her why she hadn’t accomplished the objectives we originally hired her for. When she was confronted about the inquisition, she got pretty rude and kept shoving client/attorney severance paperwork in our face. All we wanted was her to do what we paid her to do. Our new attorney reviewed the work she put in and was astounded as to how little she had done for our case. There was clearly no effort or focus put into our case whatsoever with Miss McNary. She seemed to have a really hard time with punctuality and letting us know when she was out of the office. I'm sure Ms. McNary is competent as a lawyer for some, but for us.. not so much. I suggest getting everything you want done in writing before you retain this attorney, because we did not. Not a pleasant experience at all.

Libby was not the first lawyer on my case, however, after dealing with her, I would of chosen her over any other lawyer. She is to the point, and doesn't waste time. Which is very appreciated with a lawyer.

I’d give 0 stars if I could. From the very get go, I explained to Ms. Mcnary what I wanted done with my case. I’d have to say that absolutely nothing was done, other then her sending me some documents that the petitioners attorney put together for me to sign. She managed to use up all $2500 that I gave her and only did maybe 2 hours of work. When I confronted her about this, she decided to withdraw from my case. All I wanted was an itinerary explaining what she had done so far. She started representing me in September, and I had to contact her several times to ask her why she still hadn’t received the petitioners financials. When I met with her in September, she told me that she’d give the petitioner 7 days to provide his fianacails, so I was very surprised as to how she continued to bill me for emails I sent her just simply asking her why she wasn’t doing her job. She makes promises that she doesn’t keep and nickel and dimes you for every single thing. She never gives updates on what’s going on with your case and takes forever to respond to emails simply asking her why things are not being done. She’s also very rude and condescending.Trust me, you’re better off finding another attorney.

If you are having family issues, need a family/divorce lawyer, Libby is your lawyer. Do not think twice! Do not call anyone else. Thank you again Libby for your services...Ramon
