Client Testimonial

The divorce process is not an easy one, but I always felt fully supported, informed, and guided by Margaret and the staff. Margaret always laid out the options, made me aware of the risks, and provided me with recommendations, but she also gave me the flexibility to work out things with my ex where I could, to speed up the process and avoid some legal expenses. I highly recommend Margaret for family law representation.

Margaret,

Thank you so much for this- and for all of what you’ve done for [my daughter]. Friday’s hearing was a day I will never forget. [My daughter] and I so appreciate how you handled everything. You were a true advocate and absolute badass. Thank you for leading the charge and handling everything so professionally. It was such a huge win!
