A lawyer that is as supportive and personal as she is brilliant and tough

I can't recommend Evey enough. When going through one of the hardest moments of your life, she is who you want on your side. She is empathetic when you need her to be, but is brilliant and tough when the moment calls for it. You are paying her for her experience and because she’s seen it all befor...e. You will forget that at some point and let your emotions take over and it’s going to be ok because she’s also seen that before. Heck, she's even expecting it and she will talk you off the ledge and tell you that you’re ok and you’re doing a great job. She takes the time to explain everything clearly and go over your options - but my advice is to trust her strategy and advice. Again, she's seen this all before and her instincts are incredibly honed in. I feel lucky to have had her guidance and expertise when I most needed it. 10/10

Best experience during the worst time

I can not speak highly enough about Evey Diaz and the entire team at Grimaldi and Pesiridis. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that get blindsided by a separation and when you have children that is very scary. You just don't know what will be thrown at you. In my case my ex threw the en...tire kitchen sink at me and then picked it up and tried to hit me with it again. She hired a firm that I have to believe doesn't care about the child and their best interest in a custody matter. All they care about is fighting as dirty as possible to ruin whoever they are up against. They hurled lies and erroneous claims and, since we were never married, they used those lies to keep my daughter away from me for 8 months to gain an upper hand in our case. Apparently, in Massachusetts, if you were never married then the father has to prove paternity and has 0 rights in regards to their child under the eyes of Mass law. With all of that said from the moment I was referred to Evey she was upfront , honest and most importantly was willing and wanted to fight for my rights as a father. She left no stone unturned in getting to the actual facts in my case. She worked tirelessly to make sure that I got the best possible outcome. I truly do believe that if I had a different Lawyer I would not have custody of my daughter now. At the beginning it seamed bleak since my ex came out swinging, however Evey kept me calm and assured me that she would make sure that my rights as a father would granted to me and that she would not stop until all of the false claims and erroneous accusations were proven false and I would get custody back. Well, she did such a good job my ex fired her lawyers and after a master class in negotiation she was able to get me a custody agreement that at the beginning never seemed possible. The best part is because of her tenacity and attention to detail she got this agreement without even having to go to trial. I can't put too many details in this because the guidelines say so but trust me when I say that a negotiated agreement without having to battle it out at trial should earn Evey some sort of award. Thank you Evey, Marc and the rest of the team at Grimaldi and Pesiridis. I will forever be grateful for what you did for me and my beautiful daughter!

Highly recommend

Evey worked tirelessly on my behalf on what was a very contentious and complicated divorce. Her calm and empathetic demeanor offered me emotional support when I needed it the most. Most importantly, she found me a reunification therapist to help me reunite with my adolescent daughter, whom I’ve been ...estranged from for 3 years. I highly recommend her. She’s sharp, tough, professional, and empathetic.

Evey is like a sister and a friend. I was so confused until I met her online. When I called her she gave me hope and she promised me that I won’t regret for choosing her. She was 100 % right. If you are looking for a divorce lawyer, please go with Evey M.Diaz. Thank you so much for being there fo...r me when I really needed the help. You are really great. God bless you and your family.
