As good as it gets

Maggi was representing me in small divorce case. Although it was a small case she helped me so,sooo much and took the case as serious as it was 1M divorce case. She was amazing!!! On top of everything she also provided me with amazing personal understanding and helped me cope during these difficult t...imes. She was a true partner in all aspects and I couldn't be more happy with the result! I strongly recommend!

Passionate smart ethical attorney

I hired Maggi on a very difficult child custody case of mine after 2 other attorneys had failed me. I was pleasantly surprised to find in her an attorney that is smart, ethical, truly cared about my case, and did not tell inaccuracies. Everything she told me was true, even when I did not like the ans...wers. She was so ethical that she offered to give to my ex wife her lawyer fees in return for a settlement. Amazing lawyer. I felt that Maggi fought passionately on my behalf and stood against, to the best of her ability, a corrupt family court system that promotes parental alienation. JC

Excellent attorney who WILL FIGHT for your rights

I hired another attorney prior to Maggi to handle my case; however, after deciding that I needed someone who can actually fight for me in court, Maggi was recommended to me by a friend who had a very positive experience. Maggi exceeded my expectations! I am so grateful I hired her to handle my case. ...As a single mom, I needed someone who is understanding, caring about their client, and who would fight for me in court and get me what I deserve. I highly recommend Maggi. Her level of professionalism and expertise exceeded my expectations. If you want a fighter, Maggi is the right person.

Divorce Case: Young Couple

I met with 3 other lawyers before meeting Maggi. All of them told me similar things about my case including Maggi, however Maggi was very straight forward and aggressive.Talking to Maggi is like talking to your best friend as if you can share everything. I believe my case is in very safe hands. A...lso, the speed of replying back to me as a client is efficient, I highly recommend Maggi.

Warrior in the court room! Must have if you are facing off with a sociopath or borderline personality disorder opponent

I called because I was in dire need of help. Her ex employee "Sonia" told me that Maggi was a "fighter". I felt confident in hiring Maggi because Sonia spoke so highly of her and is bilingual. My case was very complicated and multi layered. The NCP abandoned our child and resurfaced after 15 years ...later asking for visitation and a host of other things. I am an important healthcare provider in the community where I live and am very discreet and conservative. Going to court was mortifying for me and the NCP knew it and used it to his full advantage. I failed miserably the first time at court as I was pro-se. I stupidly believed that if I simply "went with the truth" I'd win hands down as I am a published, FBI awarded, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Licensed Clinical Drug and Alcohol Counselor. Well NCP lied through his teeth and we were the last case and the judge was just too tired to listen to reason. Thank God for Maggi. We won every on every single count. I saved thousands of dollars! Literally she got me $4000 arrears reinstated (had been vacated) and a ton more child support. Also I was able to structure visitation (which NCP declined. He'd rather have nothing to do with our child now that he has to pay child support). I am so lucky to find Maggi. I almost gave up due to so much trauma stemming from that relationship (domestic violence in all forms). I was so scared and Maggi helped me get closure.
