Child Custody

Maria handled my child custody case. She has personal and prior experience with this type of case. While we did end up settling out of court, I have no doubt she was thoroughly prepared to defend my position with the judge. I appreciate her promptness in answering questions and setting aside time for... me, even as she worked with other clients.

Great Attorney and always quick to respond back when I had questions!

I hired Attorney Nakis when I had some family law matters that I needed addressed. Her complete understanding of the law was outstanding and her response time to my questions were super fast. I will certainly be using her services again in the future for some wills and trust work that I am going to n...eed. Highly recommend her for any Attorney needs!

Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful!

Maria handled a challenging estate case for us when a family member passed away. She was able to correct a legal mistake that a previous attorney missed. My in-laws had purchased their home for cash, but at the time of their transaction 15 years ago the quit claim was done incorrectly. Getting the ho...use sold after their passing would have been a huge mess if Maria had not figured out the mistake and then corrected it. The process took many steps but Maria followed up with us every step of the way. She was great. We highly recommend her as an attorney.

Custody

Attorney Nakis helped us with our custody case that had continued for many years. She handled our case quickly and put it to rest. We were extremely happy with her professionalism and her genuine concern for our situation.

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.
