Reviews for Maura A.
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Maura was matter of the fact and to the point in handling my case, which was great, especially during a period of emotional distress, it was helpful to have an attorney that could see through all the "fluff" and know how to draft documents that will protect you and your best interests. I'm very grateful for her help.
Maura Barrett represented my adult siblings and me in family court. It was a somewhat complicated case that carried into a second go-round in family court. We were extremely impressed with her professionalism and ethical standards. We found Ms. Barrett to be timely in response to our questions that arose along the way. She was always completely honest and forthcoming, and represented us in court with intelligence, respect, grace and kind heartedness. I recommend Ms. Barrett without hesitation.
Maura has been essential in guiding me through a very contentious custody case. Her knowledge, professionalism, and dedication have proven successful and I highly recommend her, especially for high conflict custody cases and divorces. I am extremely grateful to have been given the opportunity to have her represent me and I could not imagine how poorly I would have made out in court without her expertise.
I highly recommend Maura Barrett if you have Family Law issues. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, cares about and listens to her clients. Maura set my mind at ease during a difficult and stressful situation. She is an expert in family law and truly cares about children and families. I am sincerely grateful for all that she has done for me and look forward to using her in the future if and when needed. I can't say enough about this remarkable attorney!!!
Maura Barrett provided excellent guidance through a uniquely challenging proceeding.
She was very helpful with recommending another lawyer that can help me with other personal issues besides the divorce.
