MADE A PAINFUL PROCESS AS PAINLESS AS POSSIBLE

Had to deal with a lying con-artist ex wife who was collecting alimony while co-habitating with her fiancé. Mara is knowledgeable, professional and a straight shooter. I always felt in good hands through the stressful process. She fought for me with all of her experience and energy. The outcome was s...omething I could accept and move on from. I’m extremely satisfied with Mara’s work and would absolutely recommend her to someone seeking a great attorney.

If you are feeling unsure about which attorney to hire, look no further! Thanks to Mara's hard work and courtroom/mediation success I have been able to move forward and protect my family. Mara never dismissed my concerns or pushed her own agenda. Unlike other law firms, it is absolutely clear that... Mara takes the time and reviews the information first hand and does not rely on her para to brief her on each client's case. She is prompt in her responses and fiercely protected what mattered most to me! She listened to the history of my situation, as I had left another law firm, and quickly moved forward with great success. Her matter of fact style has given me great comfort and I feel confident that she will always guide me in the right direction. Articulate, fierce, compassionate, and successful; that is Mara Dooskin.

Mara and Jennifer were excellent. They were easily available to answer any questions I have , even during lockdown time. I didnt have to worry about a thing for my divorce case. Thank you for everything you do. I highly recommend them.

My Winning Lawyer

My case was a very “emotional” one for my son and I. Mara was kind, patient and compassionate. She is very professional, and got us the outcome we hoped for.

Mara represented me on a false tro filed by my ex wife. Mara is very thorough and professional. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Glad she was on my side. She knows her way around the courtroom and trial ready.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
