Margaret M Fairfield

I intended to write a review for Margaret months ago, but haven’t until now because I feel like there are not adequate words to fully express my gratitude for her work on my case or to capture how intelligent, tenacious, and adept she is at her profession. Margaret has been instrumental in navig...ating and obtaining a DVPO and resolution through mediation in a high conflict divorce. Margaret is a force to be reckoned with. She is constantly thinking a few steps ahead, meticulously detail oriented, straightforward, and practices with integrity. Margaret and her paralegal Myrian work together seamlessly and efficiently to take care of all of the details and make an already stressful and emotional process feel manageable. I appreciate that Margaret throughout the process continually reminded me of the long game and our original goals at the onset of this process. She did a great job realistically laying out options within the legal process including cost/time vs what benefit we could actually get. She helped me make decisions rationally and saved me thousands of dollars in unnecessary motions. I would not have full custody, sole decision making, a detailed phased parenting plan, and the best outcome in a residential schedule without the exceptional level of representation she provided. Over the past almost 2 years navigating the family court system, I have come to highly respect and trust Margaret. She saw me. She saw through smoke and mirrors and empowered me to find my voice again and use it.

Margaret guided me through the process of my difficult divorce with kindness, compassion and an appropriately aggressive representation that resulted in a positive outcome for me that also limited the amount of trauma I had to endure from an abusive ex. She explained everything in detail so I underst...ood everything that was happening and presented me with all the options with pros/cons so I could make informed decisions. Her stellar representation gave me peace of mind and at the end, the best outcome I could expect. She is brilliant and I highly recommend her.

Going through a divorce is difficult, so finding the right lawyer to represent you is life saving. I will always feel grateful that I met Margaret Fairfield. She was always responsive and really listened to me. And she's unbelievably smart. My divorce involved back and forth negotiations and Marg...aret would articulate my needs perfectly, it amazed me every time. When I had questions or doubted myself, I felt at ease expressing that to her. And I trusted her opinions 100 percent. My divorce was final after just six months, and that would not have happened without Margaret. I highly recommend her!
