Maureen Toomey

I am a physician. I’ve saved my whole life for retirement, and I have been in a late-life marriage for nine years. I love my wife. Truly. And I do not want a divorce, but divorce is inevitable. You might imagine the emotional anguish of parting from a beloved spouse and the complex mix of financial a...nd heartfelt challenges that separation and divorce pose. Sad to say, I’ve been at this threshold before. So, I have experience. I met with Maureen in an initial consultation, after having spoken with three other attorneys, none of whom were bad—a couple quite good, in fact. Maureen stood head and shoulders above them all, above others I’ve worked with in two countries. She is empathetic, practical, clear-headed, and truly prioritizes her clients’ best interests. She wants to save her client from heartache, and she offers knowledgeable advice on minimizing costs and avoiding minefields while navigating the legal process. And Maureen had something else very rare... a heart for me and my situation, having trained as a counselor before taking up law. She spoke with both expertise and compassion. If I could give Maureen six stars, they’d be hers.

Maureen is very knowledgeable in regards to divorce, separation and child custody questions. She is always available via email, phone or text messages and responds quickly. She was really great about working out a separation agreement when I decided to separate and proceed later with the divorce. She... is also one of the very few lawyers who charge hourly and don't require a retainer fee which saved me money in the long run. I would definitely recommend her.

I have been working on a case with Maureen since January of 2018. I had to modify my 50-50% parenting plan due to a very dangerous situation that arose unexpectantly. Maureen reacted quickly and knew how to get the right evidence from CPS, the police,school personnel, and eye-witnesses. She helped de...vise a temporary plan and now my ex and I are writing an agreed plan together. Maureen spent whatever hours it took to do the best job possible; she was accessible and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Maureen Toomey, Attorney At Law.
