Review of Margaretha Gravett

She was extremely effective - diffusing an understandably tense situation with grace and efficiency. We were able to negotiate a complicated separation agreement in less than 6 months from start to finish. She is practical and balanced. I would highly recommend Margaretha.

Smart and supportive

Margaretha was wonderful throughout the entire process. She made a really challenging time as comfortable as it could've been and I was so appreciative of her expertise and her guidance in my divorce. Eternally grateful.

Excellent divorce lawyer

Margaretha is the only divorce lawyer I have worked with. She set clear but compassionate boundaries from our first meeting. She was always polite, respectful and through. She always explained things well and never cut corners in doing due diligence. Without a doubt I would recommend her.

Knowledgeable, supportive, fierce advocate, professional, ethical

Ms. Margaretha Louisa Gravett took my case with all of its "impossibilities". My marital situation was complex on many levels – starting with how the petition of divorce was filed by my ex-wife and the perception that I was undeserving of any assets or even any defense. I was in dire need of someone ...who would listen to my “side of the story” and capable of advocating for me despite the obstacles ahead. Ms. Gravett from the first moment was extremely honest and communicated with me often as things progressed, always prepared herself beyond what others deem the necessary and made sure my interests were protected. She was extremely ethical and refused to back down until all conditions were fair. I owe all of the present positivity of my life to Ms. Gravett. Her "word,” her "last name" was the only asset I had to count on to survive. She came through and continues to communicate with me as questions arise. Ms. Gravett is a patient listener; has empathy; understands every client’s issues; and she is a very critical thinker and problem solver. She is so powerfully brilliant because she cares about her clients and holds herself up to a high standard of professionalism and ethics as she carries out each case.
