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!

Above and Beyond

Evey was a great resource during a challenging time. She was professional and helped me to navigate the process smoothly. When we ran into some road bumps with the courts, Evey was an amazing advocate for my case and was able to help get things wrapped up as quickly as we could.

Divorce made less stressful

Evey was awesome throughout an anxiety provoking process. She comforted me from the start and encouraged me to worry about logistics now and try to put emotions to the side. She was able to talk me through how to have tough conversations and made herself available to give me advice as I needed it. In... the end, she represented me so well and had my best interests at heart. I strongly recommend Evey as someone who will do right by her clients!

The BEST!

Evey is the attorney you want on your side. She is smart, strategic and detail oriented. She puts in the hours to analyze your case from every angle possible, knowing the possible outcomes before a motion even walks out the door. Evey is able to speak softly with her clients keeping your care as a p...riority, yet never misses a beat with her opposition. She is the attorney you want representing you.

Incredible divorce attorney- passionate, reasonable life saver!

It can be very hard to find an attorney that truly cares and doesn't treat you like just any other client. Evey was a dedicated and very responsive attorney. She took the time to focus on the details and did what's best for me- I truly believe this. I was amazed by her dedication and her hard wor...king ethics. Her communication skills we’re excellent - this was critical in helping me get through it when emotions ran high. Evey was able to effectively communicate about my concerns and set realistic expectations. She did a great job of explaining things to me in a way that I could understand. She was honest about the strengths and weaknesses of my case and through her analysis presented me with options and prepared me well for different scenarios. She also had an amazing ability to communicate with the opposing attorney which facilitated negotiation and kept my costs down. In court I felt she litigated passionately and always represented my interests clearly. It was obvious that she is someone who is trusted by the court. She maintained her composure and not just by staying calm and focused but by exhibiting self-control before the court even if frustrated by the opposing attorney. I would whole-heartedly recommend her for all of your family law needs. She was a life saver during my darkest days.
