She does not care about your case

She didn’t even talk to me before court, didn’t reply to my emails appropriately, missed the first hearing and last one to show in court on the second. And when you ask her to call she doesn’t and after i filed a claim to he she said she had other cases, but the first thing she does is send you a bi...ll for the work she didn’t do, went to court , stood there and said nothing even to ask the other lawyer to prove what she claims

Poor Communication and Absurd Charges

Communication is extremely poor. It is impossible to know what is going on and how to respond when you are never copied on her communication with the opposing attorney even when you ask her to. Advice consists of only a few words that are useless. Her charges are outrageous. Emails to her cost a for...tune and you will be charged just to re-ask the question that she didn’t answer in her first response. Her appearance in court was lethargic.

Crook

This woman ruined my case and I lost custody of my son because she rushed me to sign something I should never had signed while working giving me 10 minutes to decide my future with my son. She then stole my deposit making up ridiculous fees like 115 for signing a paper. Her communication is horrible ...and 2 other attorneys have now told me they know she's awful and my new attorney has had to clean up a disaster of what she's made of my case. She literally made 0 effort to genuinely help me. Stay away.

Recommendation for Maggie Terrasi

I enjoy working with Maggie and am glad I hired her to help me out with settling my Dad's Estate. She has been friendly, knowledgeable, a go-getter, and represented me in court very well. I would highly recommend her. She has and does a fantastic job for me.

Responsive and listens

She is fantastic. You won’t regret hiring her. She represented me in Wayne county.

Family lawyer | Feb 07

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Maggie for years. Maggie and I worked together on a highly contested family law/guardianship matter. I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with her. Throughout the drawn-out case, I had complete confidence not only in her grasp of the law, but her ability to see through to the practical issues/solutions which would be in the client's best interest. I would definitely trust her to handle client matters in the future if I am not able to represent the client myself."
