Evey M. Diaz

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!

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.

Prior to hiring Ms. Diaz I had another attorney whom wasn’t doing much at all on my case. After hiring Ms. Diaz she got me into court that same week and moved everything on my case right away. She was always on point, polite, quick to respond to emails/ case updates. I felt at ease the moment she too...k my case. She has great deal of divorce case experience, worked hard with her team on my case and even during pandemic time she was able to get me divorced in less than 1 year. I have no idea what I would have done without her. She did get me the best deal possible on my case.

Approximately 18 months ago, I found myself in a custody battle with my ex-husband. I had never been in a situation like this and did not know what to expect or where to turn to. I was referred to the law office of Grimaldi & Pesiridis, I immediately contacted them, I was called back and met with a...ttorney Evey Diaz in lightning fashion. Upon meeting Attorney Diaz, she listened and promised to fight for me all the way, which she certainly did. Right from my first meeting with Attorney Diaz, it was almost therapeutic to me, she constantly made all the dull moments of my court case a lot brighter. I was extremely impressed with Attorney Diaz’s ability to get right up to speed on all the facts of my custody case. She had immense patience with me and my case, making an extremely difficult time easier and less stressful, which I greatly appreciated. She truly improved my life, never making me feel like a paying client, she always made me feel like a friend. After what seemed like forever, my children and I have come out on the other side of what seemed like an eternal process of restoring our life as a family. The whole journey started over 4 years ago, and I truly believe if it was not for Attorney Diaz it would have turned out differently for all of us. I am completely satisfied with all aspects of the journey. I was surprised by the complexity of the legal system and Attorney Diaz’s progress in dealing with it. I would highly recommend her and the firm of Grimaldi & Pesiridis who finds themselves in a predicament like mine, utilize her expertise in dealing with any legal matters. She certainly taught me a lot and without her compassion and expert advice, I might not have gotten custody of my children back. Attorney Diaz treated me with great dignity, when the judicial system was making me feel like a piece of garbage. She put up with all my frustrations and always answered any and all my questions through out the whole process. Most importantly she made me feel like we mattered. That type of service and respect is sorely lacking today. Attorney Diaz is a first-class attorney as well as a first-class person. She has my undying respect and gratitude. I feel because of her, my children and I have a new lease on life.

Evey has been a ROCK for me through a complicated and difficult post-divorce custody issue. From the time I met her, I felt like she was a friend who genuinely cared for me and my girls. I guess it says it all when I say that the morning of my first court date, I was greeted with a hug and a smile ...not a handshake. Evey is assertive, responsive and incredibly proactive when it comes to advocating for me and my children. She is focused and detail oriented but remains even-keeled and sees the "big picture". I know if I need in-the-moment advice she has been there. I am never kept waiting - calls and emails are always returned quickly. She even called me while on vacation with her family to help me deal with an urgent issue. She has helped navigate so many different pieces to this puzzle with ease, including DCF and GAL's. Dealing with this has been one of the scariest and stressful experiences of my life., but I have never felt alone in this whole situation with her on my side. I truly cannot thank her enough or recommend her enough to anyone needing representation.
