A difficult scenario needed an expert

Divorce is never easy and after consulting with numerous attorney's, Marguerite and her team provided the level of expertise required in my divorce. Marguerite is the consumate professional, she guided me through a very difficult time with legal advice delivered in a very compassionate way. It is imp...ortant to hire the right attorney in this situation and I not only hired the right attorney, I hired the best attorney.

Highly recommend Marguerite Maggs

I came to Marguerite and within six months I was divorced. Not only was she extremely helpful and informed, she was extraordinarily thorough especially reviewing financial settlement. Beyond that, Marguerite has a degree in Psychology and that, coupled with over 30 years experience was able to real...ly guide me through the process with an innate understanding of the human dynamics at play. This was critical to ensuring we focused on what was important and what was white noise. Needless to say, I was divorce quickly and walked away with a very fair settlement at a very reasonable cost for counsel.

A Stellar Professional

After spending 8 months in mediation while working with another attorney, I turned to Marguerite. Marguerite, her para Darlene, and all staff were very responsive to my issues and concerns throughout the process. There are no winners in divorce, but Marguerite ensured I was well informed, well repr...esented, and I received what I was entitled to. Highly recommend Marguerite Maggs.

Divorce

It started off really bad before I retained Laura Dugan as my attorney. Once she got ahold of my files, it was such a great and smooth divorce she was able to fix everything and make my divorce very painless! I would recommend this law firm to everybody looking for a very professional firm, this is i...t.

Highly recommend!

After realizing that my divorce was inevitable I was told to 'interview' a few lawyers before signing a retainer, which I did but was not comfortable with any of the ones I found. A friend recommended Marguerite Maggs and within moments of sitting with her I felt completely at ease. She explained e...verything that would happen and to what to expect. I found that Marguerite not only had incredible knowledge of law, but a true gift of relating to people. My very complicated divorce ended up being relatively easy and I feel that all of the partners and staff at Amdur, Maggs and Shor personally helped me and I am very thankful! ....and Marguerite told me that I would probably get remarried, given my age, but the only reason I would ever remarry would be if she could divorce me again!
