Knowledgeable, highly efficient and did an excellent job for me!

I hired Attorney Silva to take care of my child support case, and I am out of state. She always responded to me in a timely manner. She was always very patient answering my questions. I worried that the case could drag and add extra stress to me and my daughter, and cost me additional legal fe...es. But she was able to close my case at the very first court hearing with satisfactory outcome. With gratefulness, I write this review and recommendation. I am very lucky to have found her to represent me.

Very positive experiene

Jennifer is a strong attorney and she was very easy to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone.

Posted by anonymous | July 19, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Marriage & Prenuptials

Clear, communicative, knowledgeable

Attorney Silva drafted a pre-nuptial agreement for me. Her explanations of Massachusetts law were clear and informative. She negotiated a strong agreement for me with opposing counsel. I was also impressed by her timely communication. She always answered emails thoroughly and quickly. She was on...-time and prepared for all phone and in-person appointments. I highly recommend!

Jennifer did an incredible job for my case.

The team at Mavrides Law were fantastic with my recent divorce. Jennifer Silva made sure that our children (one special needs and one in college) and my interests were protected and ultimately got us an very favorable agreement when I didn't think it would be possible given how my ex was dragging th...e whole process out. Alana was also a crucial part of the team and was so patient with answering my questions or referring to Jennifer if she needed to be the one who answered it. On the court day that was supposed to be for temporary Child Support, Christina and Jennifer worked with opposing council to hammer out the settlement and instead of a temporary motion we had our divorce settled as we walked out of the courthouse to be final in 90 days. They were nothing short of amazing! They never inflated their bill and I can honestly say they fully earned every charge they billed me for. You get what you pay for and this was the best possible investment I could have made for our children's and my future. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who is divorcing whether simple or complex they will work diligently for you and your family.

I Wish I Had Not Paid for a Consultation

I paid $650 for a two hour consultation with Jennifer Silva of Malvrides Law. It ended after 90 minutes and I was invited by Jennifer to contact her if I had any questions. Three days later, I did have one question. First, I emailed it and not receiving a reply, I called Jennifer and left a message ...with the woman who answered her phone. Neither my email nor my call were answered. I made the mistake of thinking that a consultation was merely the first step in progressing my case. I was wrong. I had no right to expect that Jennifer would respond to my communications nor that she would progress my case beyond that consultation. I made a mistake.

I am sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience after your consultation with this office. Mavrides Law prides itself on timely communication with all clients and potential clients. When scheduling a consultation with Mavrides Law, all potential clients are informed that their consultation will last for 90 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the amount of time that it takes for the attorney to address all of the relevant issues in the particular case. After a consultation, a potential client is given paperwork and instructions regarding the next steps in retaining the services of Mavrides Law. Of course, if the potential client does not choose to retain our services, the attorneys will take no further action in the matter.
