Martha R Bagley

I recently consulted with this attorney about my ongoing custody case, including the pending appeals and financial struggles that prevent me from seeing my child who has been in my custody and care for over ten years. However, the meeting took an unexpected turn. Instead of addressing my concerns, M....B. seemed offended by my opinions on the judge's ruling. She became defensive and spoke highly of the judge, shutting down my concerns without truly hearing me out. Given her 31 years of experience, I expected a more thoughtful and objective approach. Her failure to provide clear explanations or address my concerns has led me to question her motivations. I'm starting to wonder if some established lawyers prioritize profits over providing genuine help, relying on their networks and reputations rather than delivering effective representation.Furthermore, I was under immense time pressure with a tight deadline looming. Despite granting her an additional eight days beyond the original deadline, she surprisingly completed the task in mere hours. This rushed handling has only added to my concerns about the quality and thoroughness of her work

Attorney Bagley is one of the best lawyers in the profession. Her professional conduct, perseverance, diligence and compassion helped resolve my case. Attorney Bagley truly listened, understood the details of the case and the complexity of the case. After a bitter divorce and battling on multipl...e levels, we finally went to trial and her fact finding skills and litigation skills won a 4 year battle. She was very friendly and caring about my case and understood the details which is very critical when presenting facts and litigating in court. She worked very hard on my case and always kept me informed. She was professional, friendly and returned calls promptly. She truly wanted what was in the best interest of my family. She is my guardian angel!

After retaining a lawyer that was recommended, after 14 months my divorce and cusotdy case had not made any progress, in fact, it was moving backwards. After interviewing several lawyers I changed council and retained Attorney Bagley. She responded immediately to my calls, and upon our first meeti...ng, put my case in the order it should have been in 14 months prior. Attorney Bagley was always available and very responsive. She was honest with what the expectations of a case such as mine were. I felt a sense of relief each time I met with her, especially when having to appear in court. After just 1 court appearance with Attorney Bagley, my case took a dramatic turn and went from going to trial to being settled in just under 3 months of her representation. She was very respectful of my emotions and what I needed as an outcome while managing to keep both parties grounded and focused. I learned many life's lessons from her in the short time she handled my case. She removed the anger, frustration and difficulties that are inherinate with divorce/custody cases . I continue to rely on her knowledge and expertise in multipe areas of law. Attorney Bagley rises above the difficulties that the parties bring to the table and puts forth a sense of focus while being able to represent her client's best interest with expertise, poise, and compassion. I give Attorney Bagley my highest recommendation without any reservation.
