Mary Murphy Quintero

Mary received her Juris Doctorate from Southwestern University School of Law, Los Angeles in 1984. During Law School Mary participated in the University's Moot Court competition.  Her team of 4 students won first place in a national competition in 1983 at the University of Dayton, Ohio.

She has practiced Family Law for her entire career and continues to do so. While protecting her clients' interests with vigor, she negotiates as much as possible to reach solutions that minimize the anguish parties experience in difficult Family Law matters.  Mary considers it a privilege for each opportunity she is given to assist clients through what is, for some, the most difficult time in their lives- especially in the area of the dissolution of their marriage. Her counsel in this regard is direct and "information" oriented. Mary believes strongly in advising her clients on each detail of their case so that they are well informed and can make decisions with all of the information available to them. She is especially interested in representing parents whose priorities are their children's welfare.

The greatest joy in her practice is handling adoptions and assisting women in crisis pregnancies. 

Mary is married with two children. She and her Husband recently celebrated their 20^th wedding anniversary. She enjoys cooking, spending time with her family and caring for their Italian Greyhound puppy, "Johnny".
