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.

If you need help she is tithe angel that you have been looking for

It was a bad time in my life and since I have lost human trust due to my ex , when I was served at home I thought the whole sky fell on me no one to turn to and no hope. Started to search for different lawyers and found couple but when I saw Marcia and her team I went for it. They welcomed me to thei...r office, my case was all blurry and for a moment I thought she wouldn't take my case I was tearing inside of me, but Marcia made a few calls and Surprise she took my case. It felt that I could trust again. During our consultations all her stuff was very prompt and respectful, we worked together on strategy and timeline and after 1 year collaboration We made it. I can't find word to express my gratitude for these ladies: Marcia, Alana, Christina,Jen, Julia , Nicole, Amy thank you you are my angels you were there for me when I thought I was all alone and thank you for your hard work you make a great team. I have never have seen lawyers (I had to have a couple to go to during my life) to collaborate in harmony with client and makes you feel like you have won the case before it has started. Marcia works with you even before you go and take the stand , I never had that experience before. Love these ladies and thank you for everything that you have done and still doing for me.

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.

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!!
