Posted by Ruceb | May 26, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

I hired Maggi to handle my very complex family law case

I am partner in a big NJ law firm. As a lawyer with nearly 30 years experience, I know a lot of lawyers, and believe me, I had my choice of divorce attorneys to hire. My litigation was protracted and vigorously prosecuted and defended. My spouse also hired a top gun attorney (who, by the way, charg...ed three times as much!) My case is history now but let me tell you that I am confident that Maggi's expertise, coupled with her experience and superb knowledge resulted in my children receiving far more than they would have under any other circumstances. Maggi is a relentless litigator and her years as a chief prosecutor gave her pit-bull like qualities that you will need when engaging in the messy court process. Maggi also handled the multiple real estate transfers that were required, and will definitely be preparing my prenuptial agreement when the time comes. Don't let your next mistake be hiring the wrong attorney. Just call her.

My experience with Maggi

My experience with Maggi began in 2009. I needed to see a divorce lawyer, and I searched the internet to Find one who practiced in Bayonne NJ where I used to live. I was skeptical about choosing a lawyer from the internet but after meeting her, I knew I made the correct decision. She was able t...o make the Divorce process any easy one, and to save my pension from my ex. She fought for all my rights. Then in 2015, I returned to Maggi so she could help me emancipate my daughter. Again, I was not disappointed. In a matter of a few weeks, Maggi was able to emancipate my daughter. If you have a problem, Maggi is the person you need to see. There is no doubt that she will find a solution to solve your problem. Thank you Maggi and God bless you.

Zealous, Hard-working Legal Representation at Reasonable Rates.

Having practiced domestic & family law in New York myself, I interviewed several lawyers who were referred to me to handle my second divorce before I retained Ms. Khalil. I carefully scrutinized her skills and talents throughout the divorce procedings. Ms. Khalil's knowledge and agressiveness was e...qual to the effort she employed in protecting and obtaining my rights and interests and, although I knew she had a large case-load for a single practioner, I never once felt that I was not her only client when we would confer on my case. Most lawyers take on a case with an eye towards a speedy settlement because they dred the courtroom. Conversely, Ms. Khalil prepares your case as if it going to go to trial right from day one. That's the mark of a talented lawyer, believe me, I know. Her skills out-matched my wife's lawyer so overwhelmingly that I will be receiving alimony from my wife, a portion of her pention and repayment of some of my legal fees as well. I couldn't ask for a better result than that. Ms. Khalil is one of those few lawyer I'm glad I never had to face-off against in my career (and I had a reputation as an excellent lawyer in New York City and Long Island.) I most highly recommend her services in her stated areas of law without any doubt whatsoever.

Excellent Attorney

Maggi handled my closing for a condo that I was purchasing. Throughout the entire process Maggi always kept me well-informed and actually taught me a lot about real estate & closings that I was never even aware of. She worked on my closing even beyond the standard working hours & ensured that all a...spects were communicated to me. Maggi is a very professional, respectful and dedicated attorney. I would highly recommend Maggi to anyone who needs to close on their home. She proves to get the job done well and at a reasonable rate. I would go back to Maggi the next time I'm closing on a home.
