Thea Marie Fabio

Mrs. Fabio is in a class of you own. You will not find a better lawyer anywhere in the state! It was pure magic watching a true professional of her caliber work. She is very ethical and proficient in her duties. She will go to great lengths to do the very best job she can. I was amazed and in awe on ...how she absaluty destroyed the opposing consul!! You won't find a more caring and battle worthy lawyer to help you with your case. She is a true professional and ruthless in the defense of her clients. It was pure magic watching her do what she does best. You will not regret hiring her or her firm for your case.

I was very pleased with my experience with Ms. Fabio. Her professionalism and experience gave me a ton of confidence that I was receiving accurate information and recommendations that were in my best interest. Between Ms Fabio and her paralegal, communication was quick and questions were always ful...ly answered. She definitely made a very difficult situation easier by fully explaining things and making me feel in control. My priority stayed with the custody of my daughter and she saw to it that I got exactly what I wanted and was best for my daughter.

Overall I had a pleasant experience with Ms Fabio. My case was relatively simple, no children, but needed a specific asset division. Ms Fabio and her paralegal were very helpful and knowledgable. My inquiries were also answered incredibly fast. Only reason I gave four stars is because it was a littl...e pricier than originally expected. Overall I would recommend Ms Fabio

I was very impressed by Ms. Fabio and her team. She always answered my questions and helped me understand what to expect, what my rights were, and how much it would likely cost in the end. She was realistic but willing to push back with opposing counsel to find a fair settlement with my ex. I found h...er and her team very responsive to e-mails and willing to work with my schedule so I could drop off or sign paperwork. I never felt pressured to make any decisions, from the very first when i was not yet certain I would file for divorce. I was not happy to get divorced, but in the end I'm very glad she was my attorney.

Writing a recommendation for a divorce attorney seems farfetched. After all, no one gets married with the intention that one day they will get divorced. Believe it or not, even men are looking for their happily ever after as the benefits of a life partner, especially when you have children, outweig...h the alternative of going it alone. Faced with the possibility of divorce after two and a half years of therapy, which included a weekend at the Gottman Institute, there I was looking for an attorney. After seeking the guidance of the corporate attorney for my firm he gave me two names. The second name escapes me but the one I remember and am happy I chose was Thea Fabio. Upon our first meeting, which was a year before I filed, I felt comfortable with my choice. You see, although I was ultimately the one who filed, I was told to be prepared as all indications pointed towards her filing and I didn’t want to be caught off guard scrambling to pull my case together. Thea and her associates at Fabio and Merrill helped me organize my personal information from the stand point of being proactive versus reactive. And during this time while I was still optimistic my marriage would be salvaged, she never encouraged me to file nor did she patronize me for being indecisive about filing. Her rates were reasonable and I felt like she was fiscally responsible with my time and not dragging things out unnecessarily. I also felt she was compassionate as sometimes my meetings with her were half working session, half therapy session. When my ex and I initially discussed divorce as an option, in therapy, she expressed that she wanted a collaborative divorce. I was fine with this as I simply wanted out at this point. I assumed we would split everything down the middle and go our separate ways. However, once I filed it became clear that divorce is nothing more than a struggle for power and control. Once you realize that and choose not to play that game, you will not only find peace but the process will be much easier. Being still and finding peace in the process was extremely challenging for me as I was not only dealing with the demise of my marriage but my father had succumb to the effects of Alzheimers and subsequently passed away four and a half months after I filed. This was the lowest point in my life. Through it all Thea Fabio was amazing. She was very sensitive to my situation and didn’t push me to move forward until I was mentally ready. Electing to continue the process in spite of dealing with the passing of my father, she did not rush me to make decisions as she could see I was not always thinking rationally. She advised me to concede on issues where the outcome was pointless and guided me to fight for issues that was passionate about. She knew the difference between my passion and my ego and managed both quite well. I would not wish divorce on my worst enemy. It can be a very painful and demoralizing experience. But for those who have asked me for a recommendation, I have gladly referred Thea Fabio and the law firm of Fabio and Merrill. Sometimes happily ever after isn’t always the result of a perfect marriage. However, peace and peace within is the result of a balanced life. If you find yourself on this side of life and you need a partner to help you navigate the process, I would be honored to give Thea Fabio my highest recommendation.
