Excellent lawyer

I hired Maria and her firm to represent me in a divorce proceeding. I conducted numerous consultations before deciding on hiring Maria. I felt good about her from our first meeting as she seemed extremely knowledgable about domestic law, the court system and the process in general. I must admit havin...g never gone through as divorce before, I was a nervous wreck. I wasn't eating or sleeping well and I was consumed with worry about my future and my child's future. The day I hired Maria, I actually slept through the night for the first time. My initial instincts never betrayed me as Maria stood faithfully by my side for the full 13 months it took my divorce to get to trial. During the trial, the judge commented on how I had hired one of the best family law attorneys in Brevard County, although I already knew this. Many things can't be controlled during a divorce but having Maria and her staff with me the whole way made the experience so much better. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. I would hands down recommend her to anyone seeking to navigate the court system.

Satisfied with service provided

Mrs. Henderson represented me when I got divorced from my wife. It was a difficult time for me and I really appreciated having her. Not only is she a great attorney, she is very kind and genuinely a good person. She really cares about her client and I never felt like I was just another file in her of...fice but an actual person. Yes, I would recommend her.

SUBERB LAWYER FOR HIGH ASSET CLIENT

Maria is a superb attorney. My experience after hiring her was nothing but exceptional. I own several businesses with valuations in the millions of dollars. I consulted with several other attorneys, but Maria was the only one that understood my concerns and had a game plan to ensure my assets were n...ot compromised. She recognized and advised me that we needed expert witnesses, including a CPA and a business valuation expert. She also recognized the need for each of my businesses to have a business attorney representing those entities. She coordinated and worked closely with these individuals that were called as witnesses in my divorce trial. Maria was phenomenal in court - quick, highly intelligent, and aggressive. Nothing got past her. In trial, she used each of the expert witnesses to testify on my behalf. For lack of a better word, she was like an orchestra conductor ensuring each experts testimony was direct and to the point. There was little the attorney on the other side could do, since each of our witnesses testimony was backed by hard evidence. Maria quite frankly saved me millions of dollars and protected not only my interests, but my businesses. As an opinionated, aggressive business owner I am not used to having others tell me how and what I needed to do. However, I am so grateful I listened to her. If you are a high asset individual going through a divorce, then Maria is your attorney. My advice to any one like me is to swallow your pride and listen to her, she knows what she is doing.

satisfied with service

I used maria to handle an uncontested divorce between me and my husband. She was very professional and had the papers drafted timely for my review. and gave me sound advice regarding the laws in Florida and dividing our assets. We had to appear at one hearing after all the papers were signed and it... was quick and easy. Maria made the process of getting a divorce as easy and painless as I imagine it could be. I would recommend her services to others in need of a similar service.

excellent choice for my divorce

I hired Maria to help me in my highly contested divorce case. Not only was my husband trying to gain majority timesharing with our children, he was hiding large sums of money and assets from me. Maria was a such a blessing to me. Over the 19 months it took my case to get to trial, she worked closely ...with me on all issues involving my case. She was so much more than just my attorney. She fought hard for me and my children and to uncover the abusive loser that my ex-husband really is. In the end we received a judgement after two days of trial that validated everything we had being fighting for all along. I am confident that no other attorney could have done the job that Maria did. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce. She is truly fabulous.
