made the best choice with Marie

After meeting and getting advice from 6 other divorce lawyers, it was clear after a few minutes that Marie was the one for me. Her calming demeanor was just what I needed so I could make solid decisions that were best for me and kids in the long run, not just now. It was straightforward talk and exp...ectations laid out, no false hopes. Very satisfied and would suggest searches for a divorce lawyer stop here.

Divorce and Care and Protection

I had the pleasure of hiring Marie Reidy twice, once for a child custody issue and an emergency Care and Protection on my ex and the last time for a divorce. When I first met Marie she listened to my entire story on my cell phone on a Friday late afternoon before she went away on vacation. When I to...ld her the story she said I 'might' not need her, as things developed and I filled her in, she decided I did. She of course would not take the case on until she knew that I needed her for sure. I appreciated that and from there we developed a client / attorney relationship that ultimately changed my life in a much more positive manner. She really had seen so many situations and knew exactly what could and would happen and it was as if she had every answer to questions I had been pondering for years. She will look out for you when you cannot even look out for yourself and offered many many suggestions on how I should go about things that I thought I knew what I wanted when in fact, she would really get in there and have me stick up from my rights. She got back to me so quickly with EVERY phone call and email I had ever sent (there were 1,000s) and put handled my indecisiveness with the utmost patience and professionalism. She had been to my home when I needed her present for many meetings and offered me much support throughout my time, offering much empathy along the way. She is confident, on time, quick and I appreciated her no BS demeanor, she did not want to waste your time with nonsense and would let you know that, in a very helpful manner. I have dealt with a lot of attorneys for other matters not related to myself and she is by far the quickest, most professional and the one that cares the most about her clients. She will celebrate the wins with you and comfort you when you are down, trust me, this attorney is the one that you want to represent you! For my divorce, I had the JUDGE compliment her about her professionalism and the way in which she handled the case. Never saw that happen before! I just cannot say enough about this attorney, and would use her again and recommend her to EVERYONE I come in contact with that needs legal advice.

Best decision ever

Hiring Marie Reidy was the best decision I have ever made. She explained everything to me before each court appearance, so I was never caught off guard and knew what to expect. I could tell she cared about my case, and her calm demeanor put me at ease in court. I got custody of my sons, and I hav...e her to thank for that. If you are going through what I just finished going through and are looking for a lawyer to get you through your divorce, I recommend you call her.

Reliable, Responsive, and Best Attorney in the Courtroom

As I was preparing for a divorce I met with a few attorneys that I really was not all that impressed with. Then my co-worker referred Marie and I was immediately impressed with how quickly she returned my call and her breadth of knowledge. My case really went exactly how she said it would and was com...pleted fast, efficiently, and on the budget she laid out. In the courtroom the attorneys and judges respected her, which really made me feel confident that I chose the right attorney. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a divorce or has any issues involving children (support, visitation, etc.).

Real Estate Closing

Marie was the best attorney that I have ever worked with on any transaction. And this includes hundreds of closings, as I am in the real estate industry. She was knowledgeable and thorough and took the time to answer all my questions. I would reccomend her very highly to anyone needing legal advic...e.
