Maria Eugenia Pena

Why would a divorce lawyer grant 3 continuances, go on vacation twice and promise things and then doesn’t follow through . Her team is completely unorganized and kept loosing all my paperwork . She took my retainer , went on vacation and 6 months later I’m in the same position i was when i hired her ...initially .I am a woman that did not have many resources. She was very disrespectful towards me being a victim of Domestic Violence and offered horrible counsel that only helped my Ex husbands lawyer prepare a better case against me .

Unfortunately I did not read the previous review by Michael C. on the Yellow Pages website. He hit the nail on the head. I was never provided billing statements, but was constantly asked for more money with no results. After a long drawn out case, and nearly becoming bankrupt, I sought out anothe...r lawyer who was able to finish my case with a couple phone calls to the other counsel and settled out of court. Mary was very negligent in my case, she always waited last minute to file any paperwork or ask me for documents for any requested info. She responded to a motion tardy in my case and caused me to pay for my ex's attorney's fees because of it. I would avoid using her at all costs! When I did finally get an invoice, she was very defensive when I questioned some of the information on there and provided proof that the length of those calls were a fraction of what was billed. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Do not trust the future of your family on her defending you.
