Shared Parenting Success Story

It's with GREAT PLEASURE that I write this review. I've been working with Mavrides Law since my initial consultation back in December of 2011. From my first conversation with Marcia, I knew the connection we made was one that was first and foremost all about my daughter's future. She not only... spent over an hour with me on the call to learn about my specific situation, but her knowledge of family law in the state of MA was evident from the beginning: and if you're going to fight for shared parenting, you need the best of the best when it comes to knowledge... Everything Marcia or Jennifer explained would happen throughout this arduous/emotional/frustrating process happened like clock work. Their advice was always in the best interest of my daughter. They were candid and blunt about what to expect and put things plainly so that I can make the best possible decision for my daughter. Fast forward 1 yr and 4 months from when I actually retained their services. I've recently been blessed and awarded 50% shared custody (legal & physical) of my daughter, and that was all due to not only their firms experience, but also to the dedicated team they have assembled at Mavrides Law. Marcia & Jennifer were diligent, hard working, empathetic, and just plain awesome to work with throughout this process....Working with them together was like working with a pitcher/catcher duo that is unmatched. I couldn't be more blessed to have connected with them both. If ever I need anything regarding family law again, Mavrides Law is on my speed dial: plain and simple. Their support team, Alana and Liz were also incredible to work with. Always pleasant, professional, and just all around great people. It's apparent that everyone at Mavrides Law is all about the children...Really, they are! In closing, while I don't wish the custody battle process on anyone, if you are ever faced with the decision to hire a family law attorney in Massachusetts, Mavrides Law should be on your list of first options. My step father use to say to me, you get what you pay for, and while Mavrides Law may not be the least expensive firm out there, Mavrides Law is worth their weight in Gold. My daughter and I are forever indebted to them all!

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.

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.

Extremely knowledgable and GREAT lawyer

Marcia's team was immediately responsive to my request for an initial consultation, and I had one set up for that same week. Meeting with Marcia eased my anxiety about the divorce process (it can seem daunting at first)-- she is obviously extremely knowledgeable and given her experience, I immediate...ly trusted her advice (which turned out to be GREAT advice). I have also met with her associate Jen, who was fantastic-- she is quick, and obviously has a lot of experience. I have recommended Mavrides Law to friends and colleagues who have had to deal with divorce and child custody issues. I really appreciated all Marcia and Jen have done for me.

Not a good experience with Mavrides

Hired Marcia to represent me in a divorce. She did nothing for me. I paid her a lot of money and did not get any guidance from her. Her office was unorganized, they repeatedly ask for the same documents that I had already sent. I called them to ask what was going on and what we needed to do. They nev...er called me. I called them to set up meetings, they never called me. It seemed that my case was forgotten. They had some staff turn over, not a good sign. I never heard from them for weeks. Nothing happened until I called and asked what was going on. I'm very disappointed in the service I received from this office. She seemed unorganized and overwhelmed with her case load. She showed up late for my first meeting and was unprepared. She cancelled a meeting the day before and was unreachable to reschedule. She didn't return phone called in a timely manner. She is a one man show with two assistant lawyers (one quit) and a paralegal and secretary. She advertises that she has two offices but really only works out of her Boston office. She is a nice lady and seems knowledgeable but is not giving the service that anyone would want.

It is important to recognize that in many contested divorce matters, emotions can run very high. Although the attorneys at Mavrides Law are compassionate and responsive to each client’s concerns, we are not therapists. Our job is to gather information and formulate legal strategies with our clients to move the matter towards the best result. However, the Attorney-Client relationship can only succeed with cooperation and team effort between the attorney and client. Otherwise, a feeling of frustration can be the result for both attorney and client. I hope this former client found successor counsel that is a better personality fit and that the case resolves to the former client’s satisfaction.
