Client of Maria multiple times

Maria has been an intricate part in our surrogacy journeys. She has been so knowledgeable about what needs to be done and when and made everything from the legal side extremely smooth. We have so much to deal with, it was nice to have the trust in someone to get the job done without having to follow ...up. We have worked with her on both sides in the process. Our first experience with Maria was her representing the surrogate which she was extremely professional and great to work with. On our second pregnancy, we asked our agency to use her as we actually felt very comfortable with the way she explains things and her empathy with what we were going through. We will be starting the process again for our fourth child soon, and we have already requested to use Maria from our agency. I cannot say enough good things about working with her and helping guide us through this complex legal process.

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.
