Marie took my divorce case after I had a previous attorney to settle my divorce and look out for my best interest. I must say that it was not easy for her to see what I had entered into with my ex-husband as it was clearly a one-sided divorce settlement, I am a very nice person. I also trusted my p...revious attorney to consult and advise me in a very emotional and exhausting time of my life. After realizing that my settlement was to my detriment, I contacted Marie's office to have her review my pending case, as I was being dragged into court once again. She squared her shoulders and spoke the truth to me while knowing that it was what it was. She advised me and I had complete confidence from day 1 of our visit that she was the gal for me. She represented me with compassion, integrity, and determination to see her client through. I am writing this review because I, without a doubt, would highly recommend Miss Marie to anyone seeking a people's attorney. She will see you through.

Ms. Washington handled a juvenile domestic case for me. I was acquainted with Ms. Washington on a semi-personal basis and really liked her straight forward, yet polite, personality. For this reason, I chose to consult with her when I found myself dealing with some confusing child custody issues. A...fter the first consultation with Ms. Washington, I knew if my situation grew to the point of needing an attorney, I would be hiring her. ( please note: my original divorce attorney was still practicing and still in town and I consulted with one other attorney before choosing Ms. Washington. Point being I did not choose her simply because I knew her well enough to speak.) Ultimately, I did need to retain Ms. Washington. She was honest and upfront about the expense my legal journey was going to cost. She did NOT milk every penny she could - even shared with me things I could do on my own in order to save charges from her office. She would return phone calls promptly and if she couldn't, someone from her office contacted me. Ms. Washington never made me feel uneducated, but explained the ways of the law in a manner I could understand. She also truly had my best interest at heart - she never painted a rosy picture of the situation, always helping me make the best decisions I could with the information I had at the time. She was sensitive to the impact the process could possibly have on other aspects of my life and monitored the situation - again with honesty, preparation and advice. I felt "guided," never "dragged" through the legal experience. Ms. Washington's talents did not stop in her office, however, she owned the court room. She is confident, diligent and pointed. She has a plan and intends to execute that plan without any hesitation. She is tenacious. That saying "though she is small, she is fierce" comes to mind. ( Ms. Washington is all of 5'3" - maybe!) In the end, the court ruled "in my favor." Ms. Washington called me once she knew the outcome. She took a few moments to "celebrate" with me and then immediately cautioned me that appeals could be filed. I would recommend Marie Washington to anyone for anything. I would hire her again in a heartbeat, ESPECIALLY if my life depended on it. One can feel secure having her in their corner.
