She fought for me!

I had a very difficult divorce. Ms. Washington stood by me and guided me through the entire custody, separation and divorce process. She's just a delight; always positive and thoughtful. She had every angle and possibility covered. Her staff is amazing! I trusted her from the start. She's the best ...lawyer, ever. Thank you for everything Marie!

This woman is awesome!

I went to Marie, because I was wrongly accused of something. Not only did she get my charges reduced to nearly nothing, but she also worked out a plea deal where those REDUCED charges would be expunged from my record after a year of "good behavior". To say she is good at her job is kind of a given, b...ut she is also such a kind and personable woman! She put me at ease at our first consultation, which is truly what led me to trust her with my case. And I'm glad I did! If you need a lawyer for anything big or small, Marie Washington is your lady!

Top Notch Representation

Marie Washington is, plainly, the best of the best when it comes to attorneys. This is the second time I have utilized her services, and could once again I was blown away by her commitment to me and my case, regardless of how menial it may have been. Marie fights for her clients, provides a genuine s...houlder to cry on, she truly wears many hats, and is a testament to her profession. I will always use her services, and will continue to recommend her to friends, family, and strangers. "Though she be but little, she is fierce."

Best in town!

I highly recommend Ms. Washington! I actually met her a few years back and when I came to her about my divorce, she remembered me, which made things a lot more comfortable for me. Through out the entire process Ms. Washington and her staff were super nice and always had an answer if I had any at all.... I wasn't sure how long my case would take but to me, it was short and to the point. Everything was taken care of and I got immediate responses via phone or email. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to work with. I will definitely go to her for any future legal matters!

Simply a Great Lawyer

Marie was recommended to me when I was looking for a new lawyer to prepare my will. I can unhesitatingly say that she and her staff set the standard of caring, yet professional service other law offices should emulate. From the first phone call to inquire about an appointment to the signing of the ...documents, the process flowed incredibly smoothly and efficiently. Marie's extensive knowledge and professionalism are apparent in the first few minutes, yet she has a warm personality, is easy to talk to, and knows how to explain things in lay language without watering down the content or talking down to her client. There were a few unusual aspects to my estate, for which two other lawyers had been unable to clearly advise me on how to address in my will or letter of instruction for my Executor. But Marie instantly had clear, sound advice that solved those problems for me. Additionally, all documents were prepared promptly and the response time on follow-up questions was speedy, far faster than my expectations. Marie cares about her clients and you feel as if you are her top priority, even though you know preparing a will is not the same as preparing a criminal case for court deadlines. And she doesn't nickle and dime you to death, being not only straightforward and transparent about her fees up front, but offering options that can save you fees. I will choose Marie if a ever need a lawyer again. She is one of a kind. The good kind.
