Maureen Martin Caster has been a perfect choice for my attorney in handling my divorce. She is very compassionate and friendly while being an expert at law. She did an outstanding job getting me exactly what I needed, and I highly recommend her!!

Exceeded my expectations!

My parents were simultaneously diagnosed with Alzheimer's/Dementia, respectively. Ms. Martin-Caster walked us through and fully explained every step during the probate process. My heart goes out to any family in such circumstances. Ms. Martin-Caster gave us incredible peace of mind. On behalf of my e...ntire family I extend a heartfelt thank you.

Not an advocate

Attorney Caster, like most lawyers, did a great job instilling confidence that should could represent us in court. But when the time came for our hearing, she dropped the ball and didn't argue on our behalf. She actually had us enter court proceedings with outdated paperwork that did not represent o...ur wishes. Overall, Attorney Caster simply "followed the law" and filed paperwork. She's not very good at advocating for her clients. Her biggest asset is that she takes hassle away from you and files court documents. But, if you can read and write, you can fill out most legal forms yourself. If you actually run across difficult questions on the forms, there are plenty of free legal places that will help. In my opinion, if you want a serious advocate, even if it's for a small case that appears to be "easy" AND want someone that help you WIN, not feel alone or abused by the court system, I'd select another attorney. Don't get tricked into believing that because she is nice and has years of experience she will do a good job. From our experience, she's really not a good lawyer and there are much better options out there!

"Dianne" is not and has never been my client. From her description, I believe this person was an unrepresented party in a recent case. She did not like the fact I was following my client's instructions and not her own.
