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!

A Grateful Parent

can’t say enough about Evey, she is empathetic, but is honest. She is kind, but practical. She is supportive, but encourages strength in her clients. Mine, is a very complicated case. It started 9 years ago. At the time I had another wonderful attorney but he is now retired. It was so very stressful ...when, after a custody trial, I not only had to endure another court proceeding, but a new attorney. I have to say I not only had Evey representing me but two of the other partners also had input in my case. This is an amazing firm. This being a custody case it is crucial you make the right decisions in who represents you. My daughter is only just over ten. I feel that the actions we needed to take, were addressed, with careful thought, and the outcome was successful for my daughter. I highly recommend Evey, and her firm, as you will truly feel they are all in this with you.

She was the best choice I could have made

I met Evey through a Facebook group that we both belonged to. I was having some issues with my ex and she reached out to offer her help and I couldn't be happier that I did. Even when my boyfriend suggested I use another attorney he knew, I was confident, even in my preliminary conversations with h...er, that she was going to help and that I was making the right decision to have her handle my case. She always made me feel like she was truly listening and understood how I was feeling and what I was going through and advocated for me and my best interests the entire time. You won't be disappointed.

Passionate family lawyer

Evey, is a true warrior for the family court system. She is a attorney in a law firm with my lawyer Marc Grimaldi. I was in what seemed to be an insurmountable situation. Evey was the voice of reason and took the time to explain with a keen eye what was on in my case. If you want someone who will cea...se at nothing regarding your family then Evey is someone you want in your corner! She truly cares about all clients in the firm she represents and my wife and I consider ourselves blessed that she crossed paths with us.

Results with compassion

Evey is calm, compassionate...yet assertive, articulate, and able to get results. She was able to minimize the drama and get results in my highly contested custody battle. She was able to make bold, creative decisions/actions when needed and get the results in court. My children were having a ton of ...issues during the divorce process and Evey put their needs at the forefront. She was so responsive to my calls and emails, and always showed up in court or deposition on time and extremely well prepared. I've recommended her to friend who hired her and was equally as relieved to have someone so amazing by their side.
