Thank you for being a voice for me, and giving me hope again. Bless You All.
Mary,
You are most deserving of your Outstanding Attorney Award! There are so many reasons for you being celebrated. I like is your sense of joy and buoyancy your have brought to a difficult area of practice. No need to be irritable or peevish to be successful is a great value to demonstrate. Thank you! I think it is your superpower!
C&N did an amazing job. It was one of the best defense presentations I've ever seen and certainly the best I've seen in a long time. They are great advocates!
Mary,
THANK YOU for all you did to help this family and their dogs. You are a hero!
Takura,
Just read your article and thought that I would drop you a note. You did a great job dealing with a most timely topic. Happy to learn more about the Court. Thanks.
Hi Mary,
I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for your coming out last week. You were just terrific on the panel! Thanks again.
Both Ms. Chartier and [Assistant Attorney General] Mr. Pallas represented their clients in this court with integrity and professionalism. The court is indebted to Ms. Chartier for her diligence in unraveling a complicated set of facts surrounding petitioner's appeal as of right and presenting them in a cogent fashion. Ms. Chartier's intimate familiarity with the law and procedures surrounding Michigan criminal appeals was of invaluable assistance to the court. United States Magistrate Judge Joseph Scoville in Morris v Curtin, 1:07-cv-454, August 8, 2011.
Mary, We haven't met, but I had a chance to watch you in action in connection with your appeal. I thought your oral argument was one of the best appellate oral arguments I've seen in 31 years of practice in the federal and state courts. Not only did you know your subject matter cold, but you interacted so easily and effortlessly with the judges, picked up on their signals, answered their every question and engaged them in thoughtful dialogue. Wow. You are formidable. With kind regards.
Dear Mary, You were an honorable and effective advocate today – your client was very well served. You missing nothing! It's good to work with you!

Excellent win for us here in Michigan. Thank you Mary Chartier! Now I get to tell some prosecutors "I told you so".
Mary, Just a note to say "Thank You" for the awesome presentation yesterday! You provided a very important perspective as we continue to ensure compliance with the law as well as an overall standard of "fundamental fairness" for our students. Thank you!
Thank you for serving as faculty for Exploring Careers in the Law, the Michigan Supreme Court Learning Center’s moot court program for high school students. Your presentation about preparing for court struck exactly the right note. I particularly appreciated how you incorporated a variety of techniques – such as offering an example case, using small-group discussions, and allowing students to question you – to keep the participants engaged.
In the evaluations, students and their families offered glowing remarks about the program. One student said, “Being able to work with law students and attorneys throughout the week was the best part of the program.” A parent also commented, “Thank you to all those who invested their time and expertise to help our son have a great learning experience.”
Thank you very much. Your work and support for me has been brilliant. Thank Takura for me too. In fact thank Judy, Lizzy, and all your staff. Thank you for the generous sharing of the Dove candies! This opinion is much more detailed and in direct support of all of our arguments. Wish I could have been there to enjoy your A+ performance on my behalf. I am respectfully impressed.
Hello Takura, I can't begin to thank you enough for the excellent job you did in handling our daughter's case! The outcome was so much better than I had dared to hope . . . you truly excel at what you do! . . . Thank you so much for all of your help. I hope we don't have need of your services ever again, but I would certainly highly recommend you and Mary to anyone in a similar circumstance. Take care and best wishes!

Mr. Nyamfukudza, I hope all is well with you. I’m writing to personally express my gratitude for the noble and dedicated service you provided as my Attorney during my legal procedures. You performed brilliantly and exceeded my expectations, going above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks to your counsel, I was well informed before proceeding forward, and regardless of the possible outcome, I felt confident we were always on the same page. I realize the countless hours you spent researching and traveling to and fro to uncover vital evidence which led to the manifestations of the truth. You provided comfort during my tribulation by helping me understand we were fellows of the same struggle and you would endure until the end. In the end you provided the best possible outcome I could hope for. Thank you again, and you are the best dressed attorney I’ve ever had . . . . It was a pleasure working with you!
