This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

I personally don’t recommend her

I contacted attorney Margarida regarding a family law matter but decided not to hire her after our initial phone interaction. The conversation felt abrupt and not well-suited to the emotional nature of my situation. At the time, I was going through a difficult period and hoped for a more patient and ...understanding discussion. This was not a formal consultation, and the call began unexpectedly when her assistant connected me. Based on my experience, I chose to seek representation elsewhere with a communication style that better fit my needs.

Bad lawyer

At first things seemed good when I hired her, but unfortunately she has decided to go awol and has not returned to me any of my retainer despite barely doing any actual work for me. She is unprofessional and I will be filing a complaint against her with the state bare association.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
