Maryam's review from a satisfied client

I was lucky to find Maryam in my time of need. I had a very difficult and unique divorce case, and Maryam was meticulous, comprehensive, approachable, and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. I was impressed that she did the travelling to my county throughout the whole process, and she never... missed a phone call or an appointment. She was also thorough, and kept us updated during the whole ordeal. My wife, at the time, had disappeared back to Mexico, and we hadn't had contact with her for a couple of years. My main focus was to protect my daughter from visitation rights, and possibly never seeing her again, just as my wife had done. With Maryam's expertise, I was able to gain full custody of my daughter, and was granted a legal divorce without any sign, whereabouts or representation from my wife throughout the whole process. Without Maryam's guidance, I would have feared for my daughter's future, but with Maryam's guidance and professionalism, we have a bright future together, and most importantly, peace of mind. I am very satisfied with Maryam's work and would recommend her to anybody. Lastly, I feel comforted knowing that she is available for any further developments, and/or questions that I may have if my daughter's mother should ever come back and cause trouble. Maryam treats her clients like family, and she was certainly a Godsend when we needed her.

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.
