Maureen Glackin

I can't overstate how absolutely impressed I have been with you and your Firm throughout this process. You have made a very difficult time for my son and myself come to a swift resolution and I am extremely grateful for that. My father has more than 45 years of experience in family law matters as ...a forensic accountant working on highl profile, complex and contentious divorces in NY and has repeatedly expressed how impressed he is with the responsiveness and competency of your firm and I couldn't agree more. My situation was extremely complex and had the potential to be dragged out in court for a very long time. I fully believe that because of the combination your advice, along with your ability to balance aggressiveness with fairness, I was able to settle my entire divorce (custody and the financial issues) in under 2 months. You and your associates have exceeded my expectations at every turn and have my highest recommendation for anyone looking for a top notch firm to help them navigate through the divorce and custody process.

After meeting with Maureen she immediately did research on my case, gave me detailed information regarding the matter and I told her "I want you to represent me!" We continued to go over my case (divorce, property & seperation) and she had so much knowledge that she educated me on regarding the b...est way to resolve the issues I faced. Her professionalism and presentation is commanding, she will fight for her client. She made a phone call to the other parties attorney and settled a matter in minutes which gave her sufficient time to prepare my case. In court she carries a level of confidence that is obvious to the entire courtroom. She is not only respected by other attorneys as a subject matter expert in Military Law, she is respected by Judges as well. Her unique ability to break down an attorneys arguement was something you only see in movies. I have already recommended her to people who are seeking divorce attorneys. She was able to accomplish a successful trial and it ended in my favor. I wish she would get a reality show because she is definitely the superhero attorney you want on your side. She is definitely worth every penny and I highly recommend her just as she was highly recommended to me. This attorney is more than golden she is a Diamond!

Maureen is fabulous at what she does. Fortuitously, I found her after she was recommended by the circuit court after my attorney quit in the middle of our divorce process, namely because she was threatened by my "Mister Big Shot" DC attorney. My saga is a long one, in the end I intend to write a book..., no joke (I'm a writer by trade), so I'll try to keep it short although there are very many things I could address that may help people looking for such an attorney. Maureen is not scared of anyone in my opinion :-). I was a young wife & mom with two babies/toddler when my husband left us. We'd been together 14 years and it was shock to the core, "We don't believe in divorce" I was told for over decade, although there were red flags – they seem so huge now- and if I only knew then what I know now. He turns 40 & had midlife crisis. And much more. But I refused separation agreement, numb in shock & busy raising babes, & I did not get an attorney until we had been separated for over a year. I went to various consultations with top attorneys in the area, and many were concerned about the case and it high-profile/high conflict condition. The attorney I finally hired was "ready to attack" husband Who had taken savings, pathological liar, incredibly difficult but she seemed empathetic to my saga & dealing with narcissists it seems. So I spent over half a year process and a PL hearing with this attorney. I wish I had Maureen then. That attorney slowly stopped responding to emails and was disorganized mess – but this is about Maureen. So, almost 2 years after ex left us, I was without attorney, being attacked with lies and threats from ex, and scared to death. I then found Maureen. She had like a years worth of work and catching up to do for my divorce case. But she worked incredibly quickly and took interest in my difficult situation. She was certainly not afraid of my soon-to-be ex. She is tough, strong woman & was very organized and explained things that I had not learned after being with a different attorney for nearly a year. She hit the ground running. In addition she is extremely intelligent. She is very good with the numbers game that is divorce and the stress doing with child support and alimony and splitting assets and more. I would certainly use her again and I'm still in the midst of dealing with a now ex-husband that will not follow the separation agreement signed and notarized with three lawyers in the room. Now I have to deal with him being in contempt of court. Not surprise, no longer does anything surprise me and once a very emotional and overly giving person I was, I learned to have a thick skin with these kind of situations. If yours is not personal, sadly, it is just business. We had many assets to divide after such time together, and you work insane hours the entire marriage and children and they are my life. Maureen help me take the emotion out of it for divorce court purposes. [of course I'm a hands-on mommy, All I wanted was my babies – husband already had mistress the day he left us, and I cared for them nonstop with my mother] husband was gone and took kids seven states away anytime he had a weekend. So we are still dealing with ex NOT following up on his end of the settlement agreement – LYING pathologically, 401(k), final settlement monies, et al. Maureen is always there for me. I would recommend her to everyone. And I already do. She is one busy attorney I am sure and has many awards. THANK YOU DEAR Maureen for everything you have done for my family. I KNOW THIS IS CHEESY, BUT YOU KNOW I'M LIKE THAT-- You were sent from the heavens I strongly believe --- I was destined to find you after my other attorney ran for the hills because you saved my life and finally I found a real attorney – organize and brilliant.

I would not recommend Maureen Glackin to anyone, and definitely not to any military member going through a divorce. Ms. Glackin claimed to know military law, but the truth of the matter is, she’s looking to give away half of your pension to the other side and then tell you it’s the law without ta...king any facts into consideration. It seemed she’d made up her mind on how the case should proceed; she never reviewed tons of documents that I provided and seemed irritated whenever I would provide input or ask questions about the status of my concerns. She would read my email inquiries and ignore them for days, sometimes weeks; and when she responded, she was condescending and dismissive. I did not trust anything she said because I felt she was not devoting enough time on my case, and definitely did not have my best interest at heart! Whenever I would question her about her decisions, she would tell me to get a new lawyer if not satisfied with her decisions. I felt stuck, and although not happy, I did not want to change horses in midstream, so I stayed and hoped for the best. But after 2.5 yrs of such poor representation and hostile attorney client relationship, I ended her services and got a new attorney who listened to me, and was able to get the result I was hoping for.

Maureen Glackin has been a constant and steady source of advice and support through my divorce. My case was extremely difficult, long and contentious. I always felt that I could turn to her for advice and that I could follow it without hesitating, knowing with out a doubt that it would serve the best... interest of myself and my children. She went above the call of duty more than once to drop everything to assist me in my times of need with emergency hearings, visitation issues, and countless other issues. She and her staff made huge efforts to stay on top of my case and the myriad of details that were involved.. They also went out of their way to make sure that I was informed of every action so that I always had a clear understanding of what was happening. She was an apt and able guide through the jungle of divorce litigation that I found myself in. I would recommend her highly to anyone who needs an attorney.
