Family Matters

Ms. Washington has provided legal advice and well as represented a family member of mine regarding minor children. Ms. Washington provide my family with some legal advice regarding an individual who was living in my mother's home. We decided as a family for my mother's well being that we wanted thi...s individual removed from her home. As we provided Ms. Washington with the specifics she advised us of our mother's rights and well as the individual's who was living in my mother's residence. I am happy to say that Ms. Washington provided us with some valuable legal advise and how to hand the matter as well as advising us that this matter could very well end up in court which would drag out for several months. This did not happen and the individual left after without us having us going to court. Ms. Washington also was legal council to a family member of mine and the case involved minor children. There was quite a bit of documentation that I assisted my family member in pulling together for Ms. Washington's review before going to court. She maintained contact with my family member each an every time they had to provide updated information as well as the numerous times before going to court. This case was postponed several times before it finally ended about a year later. It ended well with my family member. Ms. Washington is very professional and courteous and provides her clients with the best representation possible.

A Lawyer you can trust to look out for your best interests!!!

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.

Marie Washington has one's best interest at heart

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.

Exceptional Services

We have used Ms. Washington for different legal services over the last few years and have had nothing but the best. She has executed several legal documents for us as well as provided representation in court. At all times we have had her undivided attention, her expertise and her guidance. We can ...call upon her for anything and be confident that our matters are handled with discretion and propriety. She is a powerhouse - don't let her smile and infectious laughter fool you into thinking she's tame. She fights for her clients and I am glad to sit on her side of the table.

Greatest Ever!!

Marie took a extremly difficult situation and made it easy. She explained everything to me in detail and fought for me look no other. If it wasn't for her the outcome would have been in my opinion emotional and financial disaster but it turned out great. Marie made a hard time in my life much easier...!!!
