Appreciative of Outstanding Legal Assistance

Just wanted to say thank you to Washington Law Offices and her team for helping me with my real estate matter. They handled my case involving a complex foreclosure situation with professionalism and care. The team kept me updated every step of the way, and Dr. Washington’s expertise made the entire p...rocess far less stressful. I truly appreciate their dedication and highly recommend them

Beware of hiring Maudia Norman Washington

I hired Maudia Washington to represent me in a security deposit dispute. I wish I had read Shana’s review on AVVO. It would have saved me a ton of time and money. Maudia Washington aka Maudia Norman Washington represented me for less than 6 months and I paid her over $7k. I fired her because she l...ied when sent me an email attaching an unsigned order by the judge. The bill which started at $257.50 and revised to $370 then to $677 was finally revised to $1264.35, all dated 29 February. Washington then sued me for $1264.35 in a complaint that she got my name wrong as the defendant, and gave the reason that she was hired to represent me as a defendant “in an eviction action”. She didn’t even know why I had hired her, after paying her over $7K! I owned the house and certainly wasn’t evicted. We went to arbitration and she lost. She then filed an appeal and lost again in 2025. To add insult to injury, she turned over her bill of $1264.35 inflated to almost $3k to a collection agency. Don’t just take my word about Maudia Washington’s representation, check out the sanctions in Kane County, IL. Beware of hiring Maudia Washington, aka Maudia Norman Washington. In my opinion she doesn’t even deserve my 1 star.

Favorable Settlement

Ms. Washington was a fantastic attorney! She has deep knowledge of contract law and was able to clearly explain the complexities of my situation. Throughout the process, she kept me informed of all developments and made sure I understood my options. Ms. Washington was also very professional and appr...oachable, and I always felt comfortable discussing my concerns with her. In the end, she was able to negotiate a favorable settlement on my behalf. I highly recommend Ms. Washington to anyone needing a skilled and trustworthy attorney.

Impressive Lawyer

If you need a lawyer who can handle an eviction case with ease and efficiency, look no further than Maudia. She is an outstanding attorney who saved me from a lot of hassle and stress. I had tenants who refused to pay rent for six months, and I was clueless about how to evict them legally. I contacte...d Maudia on a Monday and she immediately took charge of my case. She handled everything for me, from filing the paperwork to representing me in court. Thanks to her, the tenants were evicted without any trouble. I am very impressed by her work and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Landlord

Extremely happy and very much content how Ms.Washington handled my eviction case, she was there with me spiritually, emotionally, providing encouragement when I needed it the most, I was losing hope after 31/2 years of tenant not paying any rent and refusing to move out, but with Ms.Washington’s hard... work, determination and dedication to her craft everything ends well through my favor and Im pleased to say I have my property back, it has a lot of damage but nevertheless Im elated to finally possess my property back.

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.
