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.

Top Attorney in Family Law

Jennifer Silva is a highly professional attorney in family law. Jennifer was my divorce attorney for the final portion of my divorce process and I highly recommend her. Jennifer and Mavrides Law are a highly skilled and professional team. Jennifer was persistent and confident representing me at my ...court hearings and also helped my spouse and I come to a resolution for the intense child custody issues that he and I could not agree with. If it wasn’t for Jennifer we would still be appearing in court hearings and end up in trial. Jennifer genuinely cared about me and my case and what was important to me. She is also very ethical and looked after my needs. Jennifer made sure everything was covered in my final separation agreement for me and my child. She was extremely detailed oriented in my agreement that addressed complex areas. I am so happy and pleased with the outcome of my divorce and final separation agreement due to Jennifer’s skills. I am very thankful Jennifer was my attorney and can’t thank her enough. Thank you Jennifer for working so hard on my case!

Review for Jen Silva

I highly recommend Jennifer Silva as a divorce attorney, without reservation. Jennifer worked arduously on my divorce settlement agreement between my husband and myself. Together we drafted an agreement that worked for me personally, in which she protected my financial interests and achieved the g...oals I wanted to achieve. Jen protected my state pension from my husband’s access, and arranged for my daughter’s college education, which were the two most important issues to me. She listened extremely well throughout the process and constantly brought the agreement back to my original goals. This required much tweaking, and Jen was constantly available to make any changes immediately. She advised me of possible scenarios and kept on the path to a solid divorce settlement. Again, I would highly recommend Jen Silva. She is an extremely knowledgeable divorce attorney who is extremely approachable and accessible.

Case settled. Thank you.

Received great service from Jennifer and all the staff at Mavrides Law. Knowledgeable, professional, great in communication, responses, documents preparation. Straight to the point advices. No waste of time and money. Divorce was settled before pre-trial. Recommended.

Mission accomplished

After having failed to establish equal custody with my x-wife through mediation and meeting with two other lawyers that assumed the court would not order equal custody of my four year old son to me with no rationale to why? Luckily I was fortunate enough to come across MAVRIDES Law on AAVO. I firs...t made contact with MAVRIDES via email and explained my goal of securing equal custody of my son. Within 24 hours Marcia Mavrides responded and gave me the confidence to continue my pursuit which eventually lead to me meeting Marcia and Jennifer Silva. We discussed my case and although neither Marcia nor Jennifer could confirm the outcome at the time I felt comfortable and confident that I had finally identified a legal team that was compassionate with my goal of securing equal access to my son but also confident that Marcia, Jennifer and the team were competent in representing me. Marcia and her team established that Jennifer Silva would represent me and manage communication with my x-wifes lawyer and represent me in court. From our first meeting through the final divorce, Jennifer established our goals and set expectations, clearly advised me on the law, kept communications lines open and was very responsive to questions or concerns I had going through the process. In court and with opposing counsel, Jennifer was professional, direct and relentless in her pursuit to not only help me secure equal custody of my son but also negotiated a settlement that helped us avoid trail and further unnecessary time in court and costs. Thank you Marcia, Jennifer and team for helping me accomplish my mission when others in your profession did not believe the court would allow a father equal custody of his child.
