Went Above and Beyond for Us

Maria was professional, trustworthy, and kind when she helped my brother’s immigration case. She consistently kept in touch and often worked late nights to follow up and update us on the steps to take next. The case was very stressful for us because we were unsure of the outcome, but Maria helped us ...win with her expertise and guidance. I am very grateful for her exceptional work in helping my brother and his family stay together in the United States.

Very Professional and Knowledgeable

Maria Trafton handled our immigration case very smoothly. She was always very prompt at answering any questions. She listens to all your concerns very patiently and explains all the details on how to approach/handle the case including pros and cons. and very thorough in the paper work as well. Overa...ll, very professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her.

Maria Teresa Trafton is more than a lawyer she is a super lawyer.

My case was combined criminal and immigration. Maria knows what she is doing. The firm where she works charges the amount that you sign to charge no hidden fees (we should learn how to read a document or contract before signed it). It is really sad that some ignorants want to give a bad reputation t...o a good lawyer because to me and my family Maria is one of the best lawyers in MN. I am Hispanic, and all my family is a client of this firm of lawyers. I totally trust her. She does not need to speak any other language more than English because we are in the US. In conclusion, she goes above and beyond with good knowledge of immigration laws and, she totally can work with any immigrant in this country.

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.
