This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mary Ann is exceptionally skilled, affordable and a good person

Having never gone through a divorce requiring the help of a lawyer, I was very nervous to hire one, and also on a stringent budget. Mary Ann was not only professional, personable and highly qualified, but very affordable. I felt she truly listened to and understood the reluctant necessity I was exper...iencing in dealing with my divorce suit. She explained the many confusing and confounding parts of the judicial process coherently and concisely. This made it easier for me to participate in my defense at every stage of the process and she ultimately won a settlement for me that was in line with my expectation and needs. Her attention to detail shone through every interaction I had with her. Not only was she responsive to my queries and concerns, she was compassionate. In speaking with other women that also experienced contentious divorce proceedings, I was amazed to learn they paid more for their attorneys, yet didn't receive anywhere near the attention or positive outcome I did with Mary Ann and her firm, Carlos Acosta Law Offices. I highly recommend her, she is committed, authentic, thorough and just a really good person. I felt I could trust her from the very beginning, and she made a painful event less overwhelming, confusing, and bearable. So grateful I found her and she took my case.

STRONG

Mary Ann recently litigated a child custody case for me. She is extremely experienced, strong, sharp, and produces positive results quickly. Truly a caring attorney who listens carefully to her clients concerns and goals, and then implements an aggressive and vigorous strategy to attain those goals. ...Graciously confident in the courtroom, and is well respected by the judge and fellow attorneys. She is diligent and thorough leaving no inaccuracies. Also a great communicator which is needed to get things done!

Smart, determined and compassionate

I have turned to Mary Ann R. Andrews to assist me with extremely complex and unpleasant custody proceedings. Ms. Andrews' responsiveness, knowledge and authenticity during a complex case kept me stable and successful. Ms. Andrews and her team were always engaged when needed and always went above and ...beyond my expectations. She is an attorney who truly cares about her clients.
