There when really needed

Marie was very responsive to be available when an estate matter needed quick attention. She made time to review the situation and see me right away. She took care to explain everything clearly and I knew things were in capable hands.

Last Will & Testiment

Marie Washington's office was more responsive than I . I knew at 70 years old it was time to do something for the final days, but I procrastinated and Miss Washington's office called me a bit later and put it in my hands - without the reminder I probably would have put it off. Marie Washington and ...here staff, did a superior job on my papers from start to finish! I rate her and her office from 1- 10 they are about a 12 ! I have already recommended her to numerous people I know and will continue to do so .

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.

Amazing legal advise with a caring spirit.

Retaining Ms. Washington as legal representative was one of the best decisions we have ever made. She was knowledgeable, no-nonsense and caring all at the same time. Ms. Washington and her entire staff made a difficult situation bearable and kept us informed through the entire process. Her professio...nalism and demeanor were a calming force, and her knowledge of the law is unsurpassed. I would not hesitate in recommending her firm and place her in highest regards.

Superior representation

Marie represented me in a difficult custody case. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and compassion is unsurpassable. She gives great advice, offered me ways to keep costs down, and truly made a miserable situation bearable. She and her staff were truly invested in my case, and were as supportive as... if they had known me my whole life. I would refer anyone with a legal issue to Marie Washington, and will consult with her for any issue I have in the future.
