Excellent service

I contacted Maria about assistance with a divorce. We made an appt. She was prompt and explained things to me including what I needed to do. In a few months I had my divorce. She is the only way to go and i would recommend her services as A-1. Very professional.

Excellent Job!

Mrs. Singleton represented me for my divorce. She was very kind, people oriented. She took her time and was very thorough. She was very understanding and stayed on top of the process. I never had to call her, she took care of everything. She was a joy to work with. It was a very trying time for me.... She was very understanding and she fought for me and got the best outcome for my case. A pit bull in a skirt, she goes all in for her clients. I use Mrs. Singleton any time I need legal help. I am blessed to have such an experienced and caring attorney. You have not had the best, until you hire Mrs. Maria T. Singleton!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
