Best Move I Made

I was referred to Marcia Mavrides by my then current council and a personal friend. What started out as a quick and easy divorce became a highly contested battle. Marcia and her team stepped in and took over without missing a beat. Communication, support, and knowledgeable in every aspect of the pro...cess. When it came time to be in court The Mavrides Team took all the stress out if the situation. Always prepared, prompt and their presence could be felt in the court room. I felt that their approach to the situation was practical, sensible and attainable. They never over promise but the over deliver with their results. Having a child means going to court will probably inevitable, however, I know that it will be Mavrides Law representing my interests.

Can't say enough...

I was actually working with another attorney when I filed a complaint for modification in 2014 to get joint physical custody of my daughter. I found my attorney to be completely disorganized, dishonest and difficult to work with. My now wife was deposed by the Defendant and was advised to have a...n attorney present for the deposition. My wife stayed up all night emailing various practices explaining the situation and that she needed an attorney that following week. Marcia responded to my wife’s desperate email in the middle of the night which now knowing Marcia so well is not uncharacteristic. Marcia quickly caught herself up to speed with the case, made time to prep with my wife and managed her through the deposition. After my wife describing Marcia as professional, articulate and efficient, I made the decision to hire her for my case. We hired Marcia in December 2014 and worked with her through our trial in August 2016. In that time, we had several unforeseen circumstances that forced the case to get pushed back. When we first started working with her, she managed our expectations and was very realistic which I found was not as common as you would think when speaking with attorneys. She was very straightforward yet compassionate to my case. She genuinely cared about my family as did her team. Never having gone through litigation, I didn’t know what to expect. Her team was patient and provided guidance on how to handle certain situations (requests from opposing counsel and dealing with my daughter’s mother to name a few) which at times was above and beyond. Having this case become longer than expected, my wife and I become emotionally drained and Marcia and her team helped us stay the course. They were extremely organized, detailed and what appeared to always be ahead of the opposing counsel at all times. I was always able to reach someone on her team and each member of her staff displayed a standard of professionalism. This in particular was refreshing given I had worked with two practices who were so disorganized. We suspected this case would go to trial and wasn’t sure how Marcia would do with litigation. Not surprising, Marcia was just as good in the courtroom as she was outside the courtroom. So good that the judge commented at the end of our trial on how well we were represented. She was well known in our court (Norfolk) and had worked with our particular Judge before which I think was valuable to our case. She also worked well with the opposing counsel which I also think was a real benefit in our case as there was a lot of back and forth over the years. At the end of the day, results are what matters. We received our consolidated judgement and rationale in late October 2016 from our trial. Every item that we wanted modified was changed. An extra bonus was that my child support was lowered. We had a very practical judge which certainly helped this case but I think it came down to the way that I and my daughter’s mother represented ourselves. He stressed the desire to hear from us. Without Marcia’s guidance, I don’t know if it would have went as well as it did. My daughter’s mother got up on the stand and just attacked me as a parent. Marcia reminded me to focus on what was important, remain respectful and complimentary (anyone going through this will agree is not always easy, especially after being attacked) to her mother. I did that and in the Judge’s rationale he stressed the fact that our parenting styles may be different but that our daughter will benefit from both of us. She continued to highlight the fact that co-parenting should be flexible and harmonious and that even after we get through this litigation, we are still parents and have to deal with one another. I realized I would be better off taking the high road and now that it is over, I am glad I did. I can’t thank Marcia and her team enough for their work on this case as I now get to enjoy my daughter’s childhood wh

Marcia and her staff were amazing!

From the first consultation I felt like Marcia and her firm would be the best for my situation (married 20+ years, two children (one special needs, one college, husband that could be unpredictable and not responsive to legal issues). She made sure that the case progressed in a timely manner and I al...ways felt I could call and ask questions through out this whole process. Marcia and her staff are so skilled at what they do they were able to craft an excellent settlement for me and my kids at what was supposed to have been a temporary support motion. They were well aware of all the pertinent facts of my case and were able to work with my husbands lawyer to, in a matter of hours, resolve something that I felt surely was going to last at least another year. I would highly recommend Marcia! She is professional, intelligent, sharp and is able to view your case from all potential angles and plan accordingly. This was definitely money spent.

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.
