I couldn't have had a better attorney.
I retained Maureen at my initial divorce consultation. She was solely recommended to me by Allen Newcomb, Attorney at Law, Manassas, VA. I was extremely impressed at the end of the consultation and felt confident that she'd represent me well. I retained her that very day to handle my divorce and I... am SO glad I did. I was totally dependent on her, as I was completely uneducated about the legal system and divorce process. I know that was an extremely daunting task for her and her legal assistant. They both were patient and tirelessly worked with me during the entire process. I was not an easy client to work with.
She never talked down to me or made me feel stupid. She was firm with me when I needed it and gave me sound direction, however empathetic and understanding at the same time. I love her personality. While extremely competent, proficient and professional, I found her to be a wonderfully normal, down-to-earth lady. She's easy to talk to and approachable. She was firm with my ex-husband and his attorney. She does not mess around! I entered the process assured that I'd have to go to court to settle, as I knew my ex-husband would do everything he could to be difficult. I was shocked that she settled my case out of court, saving me a tremendous amount of money. I found her fee to be very competitive and very reasonable for her skills. She was the 3rd attorney I consulted with and she had the best price. Trust me when I say, SHE IS MUCH MORE VALUABLE THAN SHE CHARGES. In the end, my settlement is more than I ever expected and my future is BRIGHT AND FINANCIALLY SECURE. She pushed for and obtained settlement money for me that I didn't know I was entitled to. She had the marriage settlement agreement drawn up in such a way as to legally exclude any tax liability for me, which results in me getting to keep the money I need to support myself. I never felt like she was unavailable when I needed her. She even answered my emails when she was out of town with family AND on an occasion when she was ill. SHE IS AN AMAZING ATTORNEY AND PERSON. I HAVE AND WILL RECOMMEND HER. I have several of her business cards in my purse, as we speak, to give to anyone that I know who needs an attorney. I went into this process utterly petrified, but I could not have had a better attorney than Maureen. If you need a "bulldog" of an attorney to fight for you and make sure you get EVERYTHING you deserve, you will not go wrong with Maureen Kersey!
