Marisa Wells Higgins

Going through a divorce is one of the most emotionally and mentally challenging experiences, but working with Marisa Higgins at Higgins & Plante truly made all the difference. I had switched to her after losing confidence in my previous attorney. From our first meeting, Marisa was warm, attent...ive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She explained the legal process clearly, helped me understand my rights, and was always honest and realistic about what to expect. What really stood out was Marisa’s ability to balance professionalism with genuine compassion. She listened carefully to my concerns, made sure I felt heard, and guided me through every step with clarity and confidence. Her calm demeanor was exactly what I needed during such a difficult time. Marisa is sharp, assertive, strategic, and respected—she advocated for me firmly, yet fairly, and helped reach a resolution that felt just and manageable. I always felt like I had someone in my corner who truly cared. If you’re looking for a divorce attorney who is smart, responsive, and truly committed to your well-being, I can't recommend Marisa Higgins highly enough.

Marisa Higgins took charge of my divorce after it was mishandled by another attorney. With Marissa's professional experience, assertiveness, and empathy, my two years long mess reached agreement within two months. I cannot recommend her more highly: Marissa is responsive, and more than capable of pro...viding expert guidance to help with your family law issues.

Marisa is a caring and hard working family law attorney. Although she is not my regular attorney for my divorce, Marisa admirably stepped in and hit the ground running to work out a temporary agreement with my wife's combative and less than truthful attorney. Pretty sure this lawyer's nose grows ever...y time she speaks. Marisa worked through the weekend (what professional does that?!) to finalize an agreement. She reminded me of those sports agents you read about who make eleventh hour deals to land their clients nice contracts. Marisa once worked for Fletcher Tilton in Worcester, one of Worcester's top law firms, so that speaks volumes about her professionalism. Highly recommend her.

I was referred to Schwartz & Plante for representation through a complicated divorce, and what would be the most emotionally challenging year of my life. I thank my lucky stars I landed on Marissa's client list. She is a bulldog. She was fierce, powerful, persistent, and always ready for the nex...t step. She was always available, responding in record time to any and all issues and questions I had. She was never intimidated by the other side, she only came back stronger everytime. Her expertise in her field of practice amazed me. Everytime I personally felt like I couldnt go on, she gave me stability and piece of mind to keep fighting for what I deserved and what was right & legal. Trust me when I say Marissa was my life line. You 100% want her and her team on your side! I am forever grateful for her guidance.

Marisa is an outstanding attorney that not only will get you answers but will also provide a positive, results driven settlement. She is a lifesaver! She is ethical, honest and knowledgeable, intelligent, confident, and passionate. She took on my divorce case and easily put an end to the nonsense fr...om the other party. I can't thank her enough for her dedication.
