This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding Attorney

Maggie Nowell has proven to have the knowledge and experience needed to represent clients going through family court matters with the confidence and work ethics required to get results. Maggie was my attorney for our Custody Modification case involving my son, she was extremely thorough and diligent ...in her efforts and I could not be more pleased with not only the outcome of my case but in her abilities and dedication as well, I can highly recommend her to anyone needing a GREAT attorney.

Knowledgeable in both the letter and spirit of the law AND human behavior!

Maggie demonstrated a keen knowledge of Child & Family Law in SC. She also has a clear grasp of what the Judge will be looking for and provided sound suggestions for moving forward. Although the case is ongoing, I am confident that she will be the first counselor we have hired in this eight year bat...tle that will be able to bring about real justice for mother, child and their entire family. We are very happy that we found her and the Cate Law Firm. Fees were extremely competitive and we felt appreciated by everyone we met in Maggie's office. Wish we had known of Cate Law Firm sooner.

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.
