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.

Thank you Maria!!!!

I hired Maria after having several other attorneys handle my divorce. As a highly educated person myself, the first thing I noticed about Maria when I consulted with her was how intelligent she is. As my case progressed through mediation and eventually trial, I saw first hand how intelligent and qu...ick she was. There was nothing that got past her. This was important to me due to the complexity of the issues in my divorce. My divorce trial lasted two days and she was top notch. I very highly recommend Maria.

Military Divorce

I hired Ms. Henderson to handle my divorce after 30 years of marriage. Although we didnt have any minor children like many other reviewers mentioned, we did have quite a bit of assets we had accumulated including a military pension, IRAs, an annuity and several properties. The first time we went to m...ediation, my spouse wanted way more than her fair share. After Ms. Henderson meticulously went through the finances to show a fair and reasonable distribution of the assets, we were able to resolve the case without a trial. Ms. Henderson did a great job of identifying and dividing the assets without getting caught in my ex and her attorney's drama. I would recommend her to others in similar circumstances.
