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.

Life Saver

I will be forever grateful that Maura Barrett was my divorce lawyer. She is an excellent lawyer. The judge deemed my divorce one of the most difficult in Dutchess county at the time. While my ex went through four lawyers Maura stood by my side year after year. She truly listened to me and asked the ...right questions. She is a keen judge of character, knows the law and the actions that are needed. With Maura as my lawyer I did not feel alone and I felt protected. I highly recommend her.

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.
