The Spot on a Tough Situation

My divorce was a nightmare of complexity. I had trouble finding a lawyer with both the experience and willingness to take it on. After consulting with several attorneys I was referred to More Law For Children and Christina Maranhao. After the consultation I knew immediately I had the right firm t...o handle the divorce and child custody for my case. Christina and her team were professional and experienced in all of the matters I was concerned about. As time went on and unexpected things arose they were prepared at every step. Things took a while. I mention that because I initially worried things would get forgotten or fall through the cracks. This was not the case. Evey communication was as if we had just spoken about things. Christina really kept on top of things and made me feel as if I were her only client. Her strength is definitely perfect follow through and relentless attention to detail. I needed this to offset my tendency to put things off until the last minute. Life sucked during the quarantine and divorce, so thank goodness Christina had enough focus, resolve, and fortitude for all of us. I also thought billing was fair. My other experiences with attorneys have not been such, so it was a relief to have things come in at or below the estimate and have invoices outlining everything. I hope I never need Christina again, but for anyone in a tough divorce and child custody situation, it is a relief to have her in your corner.

A client that will be forever GRATEFULL!!!

This review is a LONG TIME COMING. Unfortunately, it's all too common to need a family law practitioner at some point in your life. I cannot recommend this office and these Christina ENOUGH. I had an extremely difficult case a few years ago and to this very day I'm still stunned about not only th...eir professionalism but their tenacity, knowledge, compassion, strength and determination to fight for me and all of their clients. Christina was absolutely incredible. She was unbelievable! Mind you, my son's father is a millionaire. Not just on paper. Millions liquid. Compared to him I'm poverty stricken. Christina, in collaboration with Sahar Douraghy, were fair in fees and won my case against some heavy hitting attorneys that worked for my son's father! These women didn't even bat an eye! They not only won my case but fed the defense some of their "own." They made me feel like I was family and fought for me as if I WERE IN FACT family. I will NEVER go to any other attorney should I ever need help again. If you just give them an opportunity and go in for a consult, you will walk out feeling like everything for once, is going to be just fine. Thank you, ladies! You changed the lives of my son Ryan and myself in a way I never thought possible. Thank you for everything!!!

Knowledgeable and Experienced

Christina is very knowledgeable and knows what she is doing. I had a high conflict divorce and Christina helped me keep a clear and reasonable head on my shoulders. I would recommend Christina.

Great Lawyer

I couldn't afford to hire a lawyer, but I needed to get legal advice on a custody issue with my nephew and was referred to Christina Maranhao. I was at a total loss on what to do and just needed some information and guidance. Christina listened to my story, and looked over the case file, then walke...d me through what I needed to do. She even printed out the paperwork and showed me what needed to be filled out, and where I needed to go to file this. Later that evening I received an e-mail from her with all of the information I needed for the paperwork. After months of anxiety and stress over this situation, it only took one visit to put everything in place.
