Marcia Mavrides is an outstanding attorney

Marcia Mavrides and her entire staff are consumate professionals. Immediately I felt that I was in capable hands. Marcia took the time to learn about me and my family dynamic which provided a most complete divorce agreement. Her knowledge of the law and attention to detail truly set her apart. Wh...enever I had a question or concern, it was always addressed in a timely and thorough manner. Marcia took it upon herself to advocate for me and my children with compassion and fortitude. She took the stress out of an extremely stressful situation, and I cannot thank her enough. Without reservation I have and will continue to highly recommend Marcia Mavrides.

Smart, Professional, Passionate!

Marcia and her associate attorneys assisted me on my custody & child support case for over a year. Marcia is the second attorney I hired for this case and I felt so grateful & lucky that I had chosen Marcia. She and her team analyzed my case in detail, they were always there when I needed them. In ad...dition, Marcia is very knowledgeable and has lots of professional experience which helped her to think about ways of helping me out on my case. When I got divorced, I agreed to accept minimal child support from my daughter's mother without knowing that the amount was way below the Mass Gov Guideline. My daughter's mother filed a complaint for getting custody back and requesting child support from me and asking for amount according to the Mass Guideline. With Marcia's help, I was able to settle without paying child support to her. I really appreciate Marcia's professional and all her hardwork. I would recommend Marcia to anyone who need help on child support.

Absolutely one of the Best !

It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Mavrides Law firm. I am breathing a sigh of relief now as my divorce was granted after a two year struggle. I originally went to another lawyer, and got some really bad advice and made some really bad steps in the proceedings the he insis...ted that I do- I had very limited options which felt like I was being extorted to pay a high settlement amount. I decided that I needed a second opinion on the case as I lacked total confidence in that attorney. As such, I hadn't slept for nights and I was very worried. When I spoke to Marcia for the second opinion my stress was all eliminated. She "grabbed the bull by the horns" and made sure that I was treated fairly through all of it. Her strategy throughout the entire process was absolutely rock solid. Fast forward 18 months, and in court the judge wanted to grant me damages for my ex-wife's non-compliance and opposing counsel did not have a leg to stand on. She blew opposing counsels plan out of the water at the last minute. She then tactically navigated and negotiated the settlement to where It was fair for all involved. She made sure that she had all supporting documentation and her preparation was incredible. My divorce was particularly difficult because we were dealing across two very different countries and cultures, and her ability to see my perspective was truly a God-sent. We talked about several different scenarios and as the time progressed I felt very confident in how things would turn out. She was extremely fair in her billing for everything she did. I want to Thank Marcia, Jennifer, and the entire team at Mavrides law for getting my life back to normal.

You won't be disappointed

Marcia has been the most supportive and informative attorney I have had the pleasure of working with. I was confident that she knew how to get the most from my case and work with my family and our needs. If I ever need assistance in the future I will most certainly contact Marcia and will always refe...r her to family and friends. She is the best!

An outstanding divorce lawyer

Marcia and her associates were outstanding in representing my side of a divorce case, and the final judgment was favorable for me. In looking for an attorney I sought someone who was experienced, highly competent, and yet also someone who I found trustworthy and who cared about the details of my cas...e. This is not as easy a combination to find in one lawyer as one might think. Her office did meticulous research on my case and was highly responsive to inquiries and feedback. Her fees were reasonable and more than commensurate with the work done. I would recommend Marcia without reservation to anyone who needs a lawyer to represent himself or herself in the areas of divorce or family law.
