Knowledgeable and zealous lawyer!

Ms. Reed goes above and beyond! I am going through a rough divorce and she knew exactly what to do. She is there for me during the worst time of my life. I can count on her when I need someone to talk to whether it be for legal advice or when I was upset about my situation. I would recommend attorney... María Reed to everyone and anyone!

Be Careful

I Hired this lawyer for a family-based green card case and paid them the full requested fee. After the payment was made, they never answered my emails. They responded to one of my many text messages saying they are busy and will email me tomorrow. Never received an email so asked for a refund two day...s later, as it was mentioned in the contract. They decided to charge me 300 dollars for a consultation that never happened. When I tried to politely ask them for a full refund, they threatened to sue me in court!! I know it's hard to believe, but it's a real story!! All I can say: be careful!

Replied last July 23, 2021

Mohsen, you hired me less than 2 weeks ago. During that time, I had a zoom consultation with you where I explained the process in detail, went over the specific facts of your case, and advised you of what documentation you needed to compile for your case. You requested that I speak with your mother-in-law regarding the the process, which I also accommodated and set up a phone conference with her. I spent a significant amount of time explaining the process to her as well. I responded to your email and texts (on my personal phone even) and yesterday you notified me you wished to terminate the relationship. I issued you a refund the same day taking into the account the time I spent on your case. As you are well aware, you were referred to me by your friend, whom I successfully assisted In his own green card application. He was a pleasure to work with and thanked me for assisting him. I’m sorry you did not have the same experience during our extremely short relationship. I wish you luck in the process and hope you have the same result I achieved for your friend.

Would Not Recommend

I hired Maria end of 2020. My youngest decided to live with me and my oldest decided to live with her mom. I was initially paying 800/month for both my children. After going to court I ended up with the obligation to pay 750/month for one child while one lives with me and having to pay a lawyer. Ever...ything Maria promised as far as getting my CS reduced significantly was a lie. She would rarely return my texts. At the end of the case I was told to submit an objection letter. Not only did I have to write it myself but she gave me the wrong information and it was never submitted. My kids moms lawyer wrote her objection letter for her. She was absolutely no help during the case. I could have represented myself and saved myself the money. The only good thing about Maria was she allowed a payment plan which I was reluctant to pay since she did not do anything she promised to do.

Look no further!

I too am a highly decorated veteran of several deployments and Maria has been nothing but kind to my family in our time of need.  Maria is a professional, and was a pleasure to work with.  Even thanking me for my service.  I would highly recommend her services to anyone who needs a strong legal mind ...for life's challenges.  Thank you Maria for all your hard work!

TRULY A PRAISEWORTHY LAWYER!

As an Air Force veteran, who received the Air Force Commendation Medal for meritorious service and sustained acts of heroism, I will say that I have known Maria for 15 years and it has been an honor to have her representation. Maria is knowledgeable, intelligent, confident, and passionate about her ...client cases. Excellent at what she does and also an amazing person. Maria is honest, trustworthy, and her ability to relate and empathize with others is remarkable. With that said, I have no hesitancy in recommending this experienced and professional family law attorney to any military personnel, their families, or friends. Excellent work, Maria! I am grateful for your services.
