Nothing but pure gratitude.

Maureen was the third lawyer with whom I spoke about my need to file for divorce. I chose Maureen to represent me because of her ability to look beyond the conversation toward what it may take to reach the objective. She was always attentive to my concerns and brought me back to focus when it seemed ...to me that the situation may be going sideways. She has a sense of compassion that managed to bring calm to a very stressful situation. She prepared me for any outcome; good, bad or indifferent. Maureen guided me through each step of the process so that I was included. I knew then as I know now that Maureen is a professional that displays a tremendous level of integrity, compassion, patience and interest in the task at hand.

Excellent Attorney. Extremely complicated divorce case that took many months to settle.

I consulted with Maureen regarding obtaining a divorce settlement after consulting with two other attorneys in the Manassas area. I immediately felt that she understood the complexity of my situation and she proposed a realistic strategy for attempting to negotiate a fair settlement. The case was ver...y complicated and we attended many hearings regarding the case as my ex-husband was uncooperative and unpredictable. This was not a straight forward case. She was persistent and unrelenting when it came to fighting for my rights and for a fair settlement. Her knowledge of the law, case law, and her reputation with the judges I believe greatly assisted me in obtaining the settlement that was finally agreed upon. She comes highly recommended.

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!
