Former Client

I hired Maria to modify my divorce. I needed to move for my job and I have residential custody of my kids. She helped me go through the relocation process and modify my parenting plan. She did great and I really appreciated her help throughout. I recommend Maria for any family matter!

Little more than useless

Never responded to e-mails, double-billed me, screwed up everything in my divorce paperwork, didn't fight for me on anything. Absolute worst choice I made, makes it worse because if I'd met with her to begin with I wouldn't have hired her. I hired Paul Evans and got shunted off on her. Don't use thi...s law firm, go elsewhere.

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.
