9.6 Rating - Should Be A 10.0!

Mary was referred to me by a neighbor. Divorce is not something I'd wish upon anyone. It's draining and stressful. With Mary on your side, tensions are lowered dramatically and Mary is excellent at keeping you balanced throughout the long and emotional process. Her work ethic and dedication to he...r clients' needs are unlike any professional I've ever worked with before. She is incredibly detailed and her knowledge and skills surpass all others. Mary always holds a firm, but courteous position with the opposing party and strives for mutual settlement results. I am fortunate to have her in my corner!

Highly Recommended

I am highly recommending Mary LaCavita for anyone seeking to engage an attorney for divorce proceedings. From the initial meeting all the way through the process, she provided me with a sense of safety and comfort during a very challenging time. Mary was honest with me throughout the process, all w...hile fighting for the things that were important to me and my family's well being. Mary's knowledge and expertise in this area of law were obvious throughout the process. Mary is someone that is clearly very talented, honest and thorough. Thank you Mary for your help, candor and expertise.

Great experience!

I had a great experience working with Attorney LaCivita. I found her to be highly knowledgeable, organized and responsive. She was the first attorney to really listen and get my case. She is strategic, calm and confident, and a pleasure to work with!

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.
