WORST Attorney Ever

I hired Maeve to help me with my divorce. She advertised as being empathetic. Maeve did everything she could possibly do to ensure my wife got as much money as possible from me. She also made sure I had to pay up just as soon as possible. She had no empathy for me as a single parent, but certainly di...d for my now ex-wife, who abandoned me. I swear she was in cahoots with the opposing attorney to ensure I would lose as much as possible. If you are a husband going through a divorce, DO NOT HIRE this attorney.

Excellent attorney

She did an amazing job with my civil case, a protective order and divorce. Maeve always explained to me what was going on with my case and the next steps. We met often enough to go over everything and was always reachable within a reasonable amount of time with emails, phone calls, or meeting in pers...on. She fought for me and did so well in getting me what I needed legally. I would hire her again for anything in the future.

Professional and positive experience!

Maeve was a tremendous resource in my complicated situation. My husband went missing in the middle of a parental allocation case. Maeve helped me get to a point of resolution that made the most sense for my family. I had many different aspects of legal concern when he left and she was there to answer... a lot of my questions. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She went above and beyond to help me find options for the present and the future, always being respectful to me and my family. I felt very comfortable working with Maeve and highly recommend her services.

  • 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.
