Excellent Attorney

Maureen is knowledgeable, hardworking and dedicated. We consulted with her regarding our non-profit organization, she identified our issues and gave us clear guidance in how to move forward. I recommend her to anyone looking for professional, honest & accurate legal advice. Maureen is someone you wan...t on your side!

Responsive and simplifies complex matters

I've worked with dozens of attorneys in the last couple of years. Maureen is refreshingly able to make complex situations simple. She has a knack with explanations and simple metaphors to help me get past the legalese and to the heart of the matter. A fast - but clear - talker, Maureen often works ar...ound my sometimes strained availability ("Maureen, I've got two minutes, can you explain it in that much time?"). And her billing is extremely fair. I also appreciate that she tells me when she's approaching the limits of her expertise. Maureen is an all-around rockstar legal strategist, and she's first on my list for business and real-estate matters.

Responsive, Down-to-earth, Sensible, Supportive

Maureen Wahl is what I would call a "client-centered" attorney. She has been sensitive and responsive to our individual (and somewhat atypical) needs as well as flexible in addressing them. This is not a "one size fits all" practice! She cares about our success and supports our process in getting the...re. Highly personable, non-intimidating -- speaks in plain English, not "legalese". We love working with her!

Solved my problems for a great value

Maureen was the third attorney to take a crack at my complex civil issue, regarding a nasty ongoing property dispute. The situation was at a scary tipping point when I contacted Wahl Law. Maureen reviewed the work the other attorneys' previous to her had done, and she recommended a very different a...pproach; a new path. Looking back, going with Maureen is the best decision I made. She took control of the situation and her primary goal was to achieve my desired outcome, not to run up absurdly high legal bills, which I feel was the first goal of my previous attorney. Maureen was all about strategy, not "scorched earth." Her strategy prevailed, and I'm so happy I listened to her. She beat my expectations, at a fraction of the price other attorney's quoted to deal with my entire situation. Don't get me wrong, Maureen can be very tough! But she did so only when it was necessary, and when things got real chippy. She really develops a strategy and a plan, and she is excellent at communicating the plan to her clients. She is extremely personable, a good listener, honest and she made me very comfortable. If you are looking for an excellent attorney, who will guide you truthfully, professionally and solely in your best interest, contact Maureen. I guarantee you'll be happy you did.

We Won!

My attorney Maureen helped me with a civil matter related to my business a few months ago. She was very professional and I could tell she did her homework before presenting my case. She had been in constant contact, always keeping me updated on where things stood before the actual court date. We ende...d up walking out of court with a dismissal on all charges. If I ever have another civil matter, Maureen will be the first number I call. Thank you again Maureen!!
