Posted by David | November 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney

Very pleasant to work with and gets results.

I had recently hired Maura to help me settle a dispute with an agency that I had a conflict with. Maura was very thorough with her advice as well as her gathering of all necessary information. She was also always very quick to respond to any and all questions that I had and always responded quickly t...o emails and phone calls. Her communication skills are excellent, and second only to her work ethic. This was a painful process for me and she made it so much easier by being professional and always being on top of things. This was the first time that I had ever needed an attorney and I am thankful that I found her. I hope that i never need an attorney's services again, but if I do, she will be my first call.

Very satisfied with Maura's work ethic.

Maura Deering was definately the right choice for me and my business. I was faced with a conflict that was handled delicately and respectfully. I had many questions and concerns for my case that Maura was able to put to rest quite quickly. She was always one step ahead, presenting the best approach ...to resolve the situation at hand. I would highly recommend Maura Deering to all who need a top notch lawyer. TJO

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
