Marcia and her team are not just consummate professionals but also bring with them a warm and understanding human element during a very difficult time in one's life. Marcia's attention to detail and her ability to live and breathe your case is astounding -- there were several instances when she would remind me of nuances and how to navigate depositions or court appearances very effectively. She is always very well prepared and can nimbly strategize such that your strengths are highlighted, and you can anticipate the opposing attorney's actions. Marcia works tirelessly in your best interests. She commands respect in the courtroom and the judges know her and her stellar reputation, which is a big factor during litigation. I cannot thank Marcia enough because she helped me get what I wanted in terms of custody as well as a fair and equitable monetary outcome. Marcia was also available during the few times when I just needed to talk and share frustrations in a lengthy and contentious divorce process -- she would help unpack the emotional complexities and then chart out a course that would be the most effective legal resolution. Having Marcia in your corner is a huge win, both literally and figuratively.
THE BEST OF BOSTON! Marcia and her team at Mavrides Law are an absolutely exceptional and outstanding law firm - certainly the very BEST OF BOSTON, bar none! Marcia herself is a brilliant attorney in every aspect - an expert in the legal domain, extremely knowledgeable, very caring and deeply respectful. From my very first conversation with her, she demonstrated an amazing sense of emotional intelligence without being judgmental at all. She listened to and discussed every aspect of my case patiently and took the time to explain the legalities and technicalities to me very thoroughly. This professionalism and brilliance continued in every future conversation - and eventually, Marcia was able to get the fraudulent case against me completely and wholly dismissed! This went beyond my wildest expectations and only proved what I already knew - that Mavrides Law, led by Marcia at the helm, is the absolute best at what they do! Further, Marcia's entire team of people who worked with me - Amy, Matt and Julia - are excellent in their respective roles at the firm! Amy is very responsive, with a great level of attention to detail. She handled and supported every aspect of my case perfectly while ensuring that I got timely updates regularly. Matt is always on top of things in his role - he provided amazing service every time I needed something done quickly and went above and beyond to follow-up with me afterwards. Julia did a fantastic job in walking me through all of the initial questions and concerns I had - and did so very patiently, with a genuine interest in ensuring that I was fully satisfied. Mavrides Law is a total class act - highly and unequivocally recommended!
Exceptional Law Firm From my first consult with Marcia in 2007 to my recent interactions with her firm in February 2021, I have been very impressed and grateful for their exceptional service. I hired Marcia when I left my husband in 2007 because she was so professional, kind, organized and knowledgeable. I often joke that she wiped the floor with my ex husband’s attorney as it was clear that his attorney’s legal skills were no match for Marcia. She was always so well prepared. She drafted our divorce agreement and thus I knew that my needs in the divorced would be met and would get what I deserved in the settlement. On occasion since my divorce was finalized in 2009, I’ve reached out to Marcia and she always responds in a timely manner. A couple of years ago, my ex husband took me back to court for a modification of child support. I knew Marcia’s firm had grown and I was a bit nervous that some of her associates would not be as good as Marcia, but I was wrong. I had a consultation with Jennifer Silva and some email communications with her. She was very helpful and thorough and always responsive to my emails. I reached back out to Jennifer recently to discuss a contempt of court complaint I wanted to file against my ex husband. Again she responded in a timely manner and answered all of my questions. I then consulted with Julia Rodgers and was also very impressed with her timely response and thoroughness. She suggested I have Amy Abbott draft the contempt form for me. Amy completed it in a very quick time frame and answered all of my questions. In summary, I am extremely pleased with all of my interactions I’ve had with Mavrides Law over the years. Going through a contentious divorce is very stressful, so it was such a relief to know I had hired such a top notch law firm. Thus, I would highly recommend them!
I highly recommend Mavrides Law, without reservation, to anyone seeking excellent legal representation in a divorce. Marcia Mavrides and her team: Jen Silva, Elizabeth Feeney, and Alana Megna were extremely professional and attentive to my case at all times during the process. Marcia represented me excellently during my pretrial as well as leading up to it, achieving the results she and I set out for. Jen supported me extremely well through the process of carefully drafting the divorce settlement agreement, as we worked together as partners in the process. Elizabeth was extremely thorough in working on and finalizing my financial statement, leaving no stone unturned. Alana is an impeccable paralegal who is extremely attentive to details. When you hire Marcia, you are actually getting 4 exemplary legal representatives in your corner, and it is a feeling of being very supported. Again, I highly recommend Mavrides Law without reservation.
Marcia and her team were true professionals in handling my divorce. The process itself was extremely overwhelming and emotional, but having the best divorce attorney and practice in my corner gave me the confidence that I would get everything I deserved and needed to move on with my life. After 6 months of back and forth non-sense from my ex and her attorney, Marcia was finally able to get them to settle in court before going to trial. Not only did I get everything I wanted, but she saved me the extra money with not having to prepare and go to trial. I can’t thank Marcia and everyone at Mavrides Law enough for getting my life back on track!!!
