Exceptional Divorce Attorney : Highly Recommend : Marisa 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.

Caring, hard working, goes the extra mile

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.

The one you want on your side

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.

Highly recommend

I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration and appreciation for Marisa’s work as an attorney. Her exceptional skills and qualities have left a profound impact. Her dedication to achieving positive and results-driven settlements is truly remarkable. Clients can rely on her not only to provide... answers but also to advocate for their best interests. Her ethical and honest approach, paired with her extensive knowledge, intelligence, and confidence, instills a sense of trust and reassurance. Her commitment to clients is evident in her ability to put an end to unnecessary conflict and navigate complex situations with ease. She is truly a lifesaver for those facing difficult legal challenges.
