Maura provided excellent guidance and representation through my uniquely challenging divorce proceeding. I'm grateful for her kindness, patience, and perseverance along the way.

Great Lawyer

Maura was very helpful to me during a very stressful period. She helped me to navigate the divorce process and help to protect me and my kids. Her drafting of documents were precise and to the point. I am grateful for her help.

Excellent

I was represented by Maura through my divorce several years ago. She was efficient and professional during every step of the way. She then represented me during a family law appeal process and again she was everything you could expect from the attorney representing you. Thank you Maura.

Exceptional Attorney

Maura Barrett is an exceptional attorney! She has been my attorney for 6+ years in a “long term” and tumultuous case. Ms. Barrett is not only knowledgeable and compassionate, she has high ethical standards and morals. She has always and continues to fight and protect the rights of myself and my chi...ld. Family Court can be a long and frustrating experience, Ms. Barrett will make sure you understand all that is happening as you go along. She is very easy to communicate with and responds quickly. I consider myself fortunate to have her as my attorney and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding legal representative.

Review for Maura Barrett

Ms. Barrett represented me in a child support case. She was articulate, knowledgeable, highly professional, and informative. She gave me frequent updates and was always available to discuss my questions or concerns. Ms. Barrett is an outstanding attorney. I would not recommend any other lawyer to... represent myself, my family or friends. She is a true professional and dynamic in the courtroom. You will not be disappointed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
