Support for Uncontested Divorce

During the end of 2014 and early 2015 Marcia Mavrides and her team helped me through the process of settling a divorce. It became more of a drawn out process, because of disagreement with how to consider marital history and assets, and Mavdides Law ably communicated with all parties and negotiated a...long the way. They knew when to compromise and when to stand firm. In the end both sides were able to settle, and developed a separation agreement everyone felt was fair and reasonable. I was very happy with the advice and support I received from Mavrides Las along the way, and how they helped settle this divorce.

The Best of the Best!!

Marcia Mavrides is a diamond in the field of family law. There are many rough and tumble personalities out there, and few shining stars who truly know their craft and practice law the way it was meant to be. From the onset when we retained Marcia, we knew we hired someone with great integrity, wis...dom and class. Truly, if you are fortunate enough to have her on your side, you will be supported and feel quite relaxed at a most stressful time of your life. Marcia, Liz and the team do things right and they fight for justice. From the first meeting we established the goals and results desired in the case. She and Liz dotted every "I" and crossed every "t" in addressing some very delicate and complex matters in the custody of my daughter, always keeping in mind what was best for her future. No stone was left unturned. The final agreement she put together for settlement was brilliant and helped avoid additional and unnecessary litigation. Marcia's goal is not racking up dollars for her firm.....she cares about what is right and she is very efficient in getting the results you set out for. The team was always available to answer our questions and concerns and support us in any way needed! Marcia was retained at the very end of a long contentious case and brought the results other counsel could not attain. Our only regret is that we didn't meet her sooner and have her on our team from the beginning. She was a blessing!!

100% PERFECTION

After years of dealing with many attorneys that just did not understand my case and drained me finacially ,I finally was lucky enough to meet Attorney Mavrides. She is compassionate yet has a strong working knowledge of the legal sysytem. She has integrity and character, traits that are hard to find ...in an attorney. Most importantly, she responds promptly! I would highly recommend Attorney Mavrides to handle all aspects of your divorce. From a very satisfied client!

Review of Marcia Mavrides

I highly recommend, without reservation, Marcia Mavrides as a divorce attorney to any woman or man seeking a divorce. Marcia took over my divorce for me last April, after much delay had been caused by my estranged spouse’s attorney while I employed my original lawyer for two years. I went to see M...arcia for a 2nd opinion in April of this year, but decided after our first meeting, to hire her. Marcia’s knowledge of the law was immediately evident. She made me feel 100% comfortable as she explained every nuance in every possible divorce scenario related to my case. From the moment I hired her, she made me feel that she and I were partners in this process. She was extremely realistic and because of her honesty and willingness to do the best thing for me personally, she supported my initiative to design a settlement agreement with my husband. Marcia and her team worked tirelessly to tweak an agreement that would be fair, without a lengthy drawn-out divorce. As a result, my divorce was completed within a matter of months instead of a matter of years. The thing I love most about Marcia, is that she truly listens, considers what you are saying, and responds to it with your needs completely in mind. She does not speak “leagalise” but if she must, she paraphases any legal terms into layman’s terms so that any client can understand. Each of Marcia’s in-office associates work in tandem with Marcia, so that each party was completely familiar with my case at all times. For example, Marcia asked me to cc each of her staff so that they were all on the same page regarding my case, keeping everyone in the loop. The office staff was consistently kind and polite, and would run down to pick up materials from me in front of the State Street, Boston office so I would not have to pay to park. Marcia and her team of Jen, Liz and Alana are a dynamo team. I am extremely grateful I found Marcia when I did.

Past Client

The divorce process is a life changing experience. The range of emotions that overwhelmed me took me a while to integrate into my new life. I have now been divorced for 4 years and my life is good. The court filings and court appearances were handled by the Lawyers in a professional manner. Even... though I wish some of the outcomes were different, I feel that the Mavrides Group provided very knowledgeable and empathetic services.
