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.

Complex business dispute

Breach, fraud claims, arbitration possible. Attorney Maudia sat with me and mapped every path. Not what I wanted to hear — what I NEEDED to hear. She said, "You can fight this and probably win, but it'll cost you a year of your life. Or we can settle this way and you move on." I chose to move on. She... got me more than I expected in the settlement, and I got my year back. That's wisdom. That's experience. That's why I've already recommended her to three other business owners. They all hired her.

Another artist stole my design

Another artist stole my design. Not "inspired by" — straight up stole it. Watermark and all. I was so mad I could barely type my email to Washington Law Offices. Attorney Maudia called me within hours. She knew copyright law the way I know my own art — inside and out. We got a settlement that was way... more than I expected, and the thief had to publicly apologize.

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.
