Maria Evanthia Fostieris

When Maria decided to take my case she ensured that she truly understood what had happened and why I was being charged. She did her research, she was available to speak to me when I had questions or concerns. Even when another officer called trying to investigate another case, she stepped in and de...fended me (not the initial case that I had hired her for). She could have easily said no sorry, that is NOT what we talked about, however she looked into it and in my own words, I felt protected by her. Up to my court date, she give me a sense of tranquility and I had no doubt that she was the right choice. Thank you Maria for connecting with me and helping get my case DISMISSED! Any lawyer can take your money and tell you to plead guilty. It takes the right lawyer to research, ask questions, understand, sympathize and translate that to the court. If you are researching who you should hire & if they will do their best, pick her asap or take a chance of a mediocre laywer.

I contacted Ms. Fostieris' office for advice on a traffic violation I received. I went in from my consultation and, after a thorough conversation about my situation, I immediately hired her. Not only is Ms. Fostieris extremely professional, but she is also compassionate. She took the time to expla...in what my situation meant and what she would do to ensure the best outcome for me -- all the while making me feel at ease and calming my anxiety. A couple of months later, at my court appearance, the outcome was exactly how she said it would play out. I cannot speak too highly of Ms. Fostieris -- her demeanor and professionalism is becoming a rare commodity these days, and I would not hesitate to hire her for any future legal needs.

Maria helped me a lot to made the case dismissed. Am in Non-immigrant status, She took my case and she gave me the confident and promised me it wouldn't impact any immigration status. The way of investigate and go through the discoveries in all angles , I can say Maria is the best, she will tell you ...the exact same information what is going to happen in the court and she gave me that confident the case it's going to be dismissed before the first day of court.

I hired Maria after firing another lawyer for three criminal defense charges I was facing: DUI, hit and run and resisting. The original lawyer I hired sold themselves as the "best in town" for defense cases but from the get-go they wanted to settle. I believed I was "not guilty" of these charges beca...use in short, I had taken the wrong prescribed medication unbeknownst to me at 8:00 am which led me to drive erratically). The original lawyer wanted me to settle and the commonwealth attorney would drop 2/3 charges but I would have a DUI on my record for the rest of my life. I was extremely disappointed with these "top attorneys" in leesburg who I had explained I accidently grabbed the wrong medication that morning. They didn't care about me or what this would do to my life. Scared and not knowing what to do, I found Maria through a friend. The best thing about Maria is she listened and she heard me out. I know she believed me. She not only listened but gave me outstanding legal counsel. She gave me options including settling but I told her why this would not work. She fought very hard and did not back down and she was able to get the DUI dropped to Reckless and had the other two charges dropped. Maria made me believe in true "defense attorneys", attorneys who are there to defend you when you are wrongly charged and to help ensure that you are INNOCENT until proven guilty. Before Maria, I had to hire divorce/child custody. I wish I had Maria at that time as well as I know she would always work hard and give honest counsel that would help you and your child.
