I’ve worked with

I’ve worked with a lot of attorneys over the years for my medium-sized business. Maudia Washington is the first one I actually trust. She’s responsive, honest, and doesn’t nickel-and-dime you.

WORST ATTORNEY EVER THAT TAKES ADVANTAGE OF YOUR WORST VULNERABLE MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE. WHO DOES THAT?MAUDIA WASHINGTON THATS WHO

Im the plaintiff she treated like the defendant the entire time. Even after i sent all the proof of what im suing about, she still wasnt representing accordingly.Come to find out she's friends with the lawfirm I'm suing she charged 1 person $625 per court appearance, she charged me $675 to show up t...o court plus $450 for her parallel per hr plus $4000 that detailed everything shes not going to do. All she did was show up on zoom twice and submitted a response if she submitted it.I have no clue if she did. Charged me xtra $300 bcuz i emailed her. I had all the info already prepared & provided, she did no legwork, I did it all. Already did all my motions myself, she didn't read any of my documents. It takes her days to reply back to emails & act like you're bothering her. She told me I sent her 24 emails since i contacted her earlier part of July, so what if I did that's why I hired her to win my case. how bout respond, do what im paying for. How many emails are aloud a week. Should have added that in of many you wont respond to. How bout i charge her for the 24 times she didn't reply. Its cost $45 for 10min phone calls. She's gotten over $8000 from me for 2 zoom calls for less than 1hr both, a motion for dismiss response, said her name twice, took some notes and nothing else. Thru my entire ordeal she has never mentioned a plan to save me, it always seem like she was on the defendants side.Had the nerve to say I can hire someone else, of course it was after i paid her. I asked her a question bout seeing if the defendants want to settle. She took it out of context even after I read it to her. Im trying to save my home from FRAUD which she could care less shes hasn't been in my corner at all and it was last minute I found her, so im stuck. Then she told me another $7000 detailing what it doesn't include then when I said basically you charging all these high prices basically trying to milk me like a cow and you're available half the time. She never put in 1 appearance for me on my behalf, just wanted me to sit back and wait while all the defendants stick to me. She never followed up on anything, I did it all, then gave her the info. I was hoping I was wrong about her but I wasnt. She got pissed said she withdrawing from my case 3 days before its taking place and wrote out her reason why, is that she's accusing me of criminal misconduct and fraud, what the heck are your kidding me, who does that. I'm a 63 yr old female retired Ford employee .Now that's going to the Judge where I can be brought up on charges and lose my home causing my 86yr old Mom with Dementia, my son and his 4yr old who was sexual assaulted just 3wks ago and myself to become immediately homeless. What kind of hateful, malicious person does this. I can't believe she's sabatoging me and my case with these lies. It unbelievable how much of a lazy lowdown liar this woman is. I've read her other reviews where she's been fired for lying, sued for lying and the Plaintiff won. Filed an appeal and she lost that too. Now she sabatoging people with lies that can cost them their freedom, WOW. Just because I spoke up about you're not reliable and I can't even count on you for answering my emails and you charge me these high amounts hoping I can't pay you intentionally knowing im retired on a fix income. Especially $675 for court appearance when attorneys twice her years of experience charge $450 & $500 and they return calls and emails and have a plan that seems like it'll work or help. I will never forgive her for what shes done to my family. GOD does not like ugly. I hope she loses everything. KARMA

She saved my home

She saved my home. That’s all I can say. The foreclosure was moving fast and she stepped in and stopped it. She treats your case like it’s her own problem.

After my car accident, I didn’t want

After my car accident, I didn’t want some big firm where I’d be just another file. Ms. Maudia gave me her personal attention throughout my personal injury case. She answered my texts, explained the process, and got me a settlement I didn’t expect.

What I love about

What I love about Ms. Washington is that she gives you the truth, even when it’s not what you want to hear. But then she finds a way to make it work. That’s rare in a lawyer.

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.
