Very pleased with services received

This is something nobody wants to go thru. However, I felt very at ease each and everytime Marcia was in the room. Both at the courthouse, mediation, and four way conference. I felt she was always two steps ahead of each question that was asked to myself and both of us.

There is a reason for her 10.0 AVVO rating...

The only regret I had about my experience with Attorney Mavrides and her staff was that they were my second choice. I was referred by a colleague to another attorney to handle the divorce of my 25 year marriage. BIG mistake.... After 7 months of working with my prior attorney, 5 trips to court and ...a meeting with a conciliator, the parties were still unable to reach an agreement on any of the issues. My attorney was spinning her wheels and not getting anywhere. I knew it was time to find a new lawyer. I read about Attorney Mavrides and had a feeling she was the right lawyer for me. After my first meeting with her and her associates I felt extremely confident in my decision to retain her. She is brilliant! After listening to my case she knew exactly what needed to be done to bring the matter of my divorce to a closure. She explained what her plan of action was and what was needed to execute it. She came through with everything we discussed. In 3 months my divorced was finalized. Working with her and her associates was a pleasure. They were knowledgable, very efficient and friendly. They took a lot of the stress out of a stressful situation. The attorneys at The Law Offices of Marcia Mavrides are amazing! They were able to help me get closure on that chapter of my life and I am now able to move forward onto the next chapter of my life.

Simply the best divorce attorney!

Marcia and her team were true professionals in handling my divorce. The process itself was extremely overwhelming and emotional, but having the best divorce attorney and practice in my corner gave me the confidence that I would get everything I deserved and needed to move on with my life. After 6 m...onths of back and forth non-sense from my ex and her attorney, Marcia was finally able to get them to settle in court before going to trail. Not only did I get everything I wanted, but she saved me the extra money with not having to prepare and go to trail. I can't thank Marcia and everyone at Mavrides Law enough for getting my life back on track!!!

Happy Client

Marcia helped and educated me on the best options given the circumstances that led to the end of my 24 year marriage. She prepared my uncontested divorce agreement and guided me through the entire process.

Great Divorce Attorney

I hired Marcia through a referral and am extremely happy I did. Marcia and her staff were responsive, professional, and they walked me through my case step-by-step. I would absolutely recommend Marcia and her team to anyone looking for a great divorce attorney in Massachusetts.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
