Personable and blunt, exactly what I needed

Maria represented me in a difficult divorce case. From the very first meeting I knew she would be exactly the legal counsel I needed. She is someone who does not hold back her honest opinion of what needed to be done by both herself and me. She made sure I was thoroughly prepared for each face-to-fac...e meeting I had with my (ex)husband and his attorney. Even though I was nervous, the fact that I was prepared got me through everything. My case was settled without going to court and I give her all the credit for helping that to happen. Her paralegal, Karen Harries is a joy to work with. I actually liked going to the office even with the difficult circumstances. Every phone call and e-mail were responded to quickly. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Maria is a smart and competent attorney

Maria represented me in my Divorce. Through my divorce she assisted me extremely well in navigating through the legal process with sound advice and never did she shy away from giving me her honest opinions. At all times I found her to be on top of my case, she kept herself apprised of all the detail...s as did her staff. Maria is able to handle complex situations very well; my case ended up in court I believe it was her knowledge and experience that helped me get to a positive outcome.

"I cannot give Maria Stein a stronger professional recommendation. She is dynamic, persuasive and gets the job done right the first time. She is the first one I call in any domestic relations matter. I have recommended her to my clients for over 20 years. I will continue to do so for the next 20."
