Posted by Chris | September 24, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Valerie Malara's time and experience saved me much money in the long run.

I'm grateful I met with Valerie Malara for a divorce consultation. Before hiring her, I was considering signing an unfair Settlement offer, being too ill to keep up with overwhelming paperwork. And it was late in the process. I brought in every spreadsheet and document I could find. Valerie had ...quick answers of what was important, due to 30 years of experience, including being a Magistrate. She was patient describing the things that were possible. Without her specific advice, I would have made several costly mistakes -- even after my own research. She's fearlessly assertive. Being a shy person, I really needed someone who didn't give up. I felt confident we finally gathered the most solid information for a court hearing, if events had led up to that. I'll definitely call her again when needed in the future. The investment in her time and experience saved me much money in the long run.

Excellent Attorney!

I've been utilizing the services of Ms. Malara for a number of years and found her work to be second to none. Her communication and advice has been top notch, whether it was a simple traffic ticket or my very complicated divorce. I highly recommend her services for any of your legal needs.

Outstanding!

Have been a client of Mrs Malara since 1996. She first helped me personally with my divorce. I had such a positive experience I have used her firms services for my business and other personal legal services several times since then. I have found her knowledge outstanding in a variety of areas. I ...would highly recommend her to everyone!!!
