Maureen was direct with me with what she expected. No surprises at all. She got me such a good deal, that the judge seemed dumbfounded. Would recommend her to anyone needing criminal or other legal services!

Maureen has always been been available no matter what time of day I had questions. She will fight for you till the end. She believes in her clients. She is so compassionate. I went through her reviews and all were 5 Stars with the exception of her first review. All I have to say is that 1st review was a liar. That person's comoments Contradicted themselves. Carry on Maureen you really fight for the truth.

I never take the time to leave reviews but after the stuff I put my lawyer through she deserves it! I did not know a lawyer could be so compassionate and have so much fortitude. My ex turned out to be certifiable but Maureen walked me through every step with ease. The thing that impressed me the most was that I could always get in touch with her, no matter what time or day. She even responded on Mother's Day! That was the most important thing to me was being able to get in contact at any time. Maureens pricing was also extremely fair, and I was surprised to find she returned the remaining funds of the retainer within a few days of settlement.

I can start off by saying this lady is a blessing from God. She takes her time to get to know the people she deals with. Her job isn't just her job its her lifestyle. She does her job and more, she always went that extra mile for me. If it wasn't for her, I'd be sitting in prison right now giving my life away, until she helped me get it back and have another chance. This is just a light way of saying thank you and just a small bit of my appreciation because I don't know how else I could pay her back for all that she has done.
Thank you for everything.

Maureen has been a god send to me over the past 4 years with the never ending divorce because of my extremely difficult soon to be ex....we have been in court numerous times for orders of protections, visitation, and child support and thanks to her knowledge and professionalism we have come out successful every time. She has a way of staying calm and level headed even when I'm going out of my mind because of my difficult ex and his attorney. She has stayed in contact with me every step of the way and always has my best interest at heart. A fellow co worker who was going to be going through a divorce needed a good attorney so i recommended Maureen and as i already knew she was extremely happy with the outcome. I would recommend Maureen to anyone and would use her services in the future if an attorney was ever needed.

After going through mediation, one lawyer who quickly ran through the retainer without much to show for it, and a consult with a lawyer who was ready to use every bit of my money to go to an unnecessary war, I hired Maureen. From the start, she was honest, affordable, and completely devoted to being completely fair. She has always looked out for my best interest, has listened to my concerns, and has always responded appropriately. If you are looking for a fair, honest person to represent you, Maureen is definitely the one.

Maureen Porette has been retained as my attorney for several years now throughout numerous Family Court Violations and Custody Contentions with an extremely difficult ex. When I first met Mrs. Porette I was highly stressed and beyond overwhelmed with the whole family court process. Maureen, at every step of the way, has gone above and beyond to take the time to make sure that I not only understand the process, but that I feel comfortable with each decision we make. Maureen Porette is exceptionally knowledgeable of her trade and has handled my case in an extremely competent and professional manner. This has not been an easy road, and I am extremely grateful for the heart and dedication Maureen has shown me through it all. Mrs. Porette is a credit to her profession and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of such legal services.

I obtained Ms. Porette almost 2 years ago to handle my divorce. I was a mother of two adult children. I had been married for over 20 years , I had been a stay at home mom since my children were born and had not worked and was supported by my, now ex-husband. It was a very sad time in my life, but when the divorce was final, I was very happy with the results of my settlement.. She had compassion for what I was going through and fought for me till the end.

I hired Maureen when my teenage son got into some difficult legal trouble in Rockland County. She is an extremely skilled attorney who quickly gained my trust and most importantly my son's trust. We were very happy with the results. She is an absolute life-saver!

I have hired Maureen Porette many times over the past 10 years to represent my family. I can't express enough gratitude for this woman. She always kept us informed and treated us with respect, regardless of how bad the charges were. She worried more about proving our innocence than collecting her fee like other lawyers I've used in the past. She also made sure we had her cell phone so we could reach her day or night if necessary. She was successful in every case she handled for us . I would highly recommend Ms Porette !

A close family friend of mine recommended Maureen Porette as a competent attorney to assist our family as my son was improperly charged with a hate crime. During the nearly year long escapade that we went through with the courts, we not only found Maureen to be talented and professional, but also very compassionate with a matter that required digging deep into a sensitive matter. Since the positive resolution of the above incident I am now currently using Maureen for any periodical issues that arise in running my day to day business.

Mrs. Porette does not know what she is doing. Before my divorce my husband at the time supported me and the three children. I worked part time just to bring in extra cash so I could have a little extra money for me to spend as I wish. I gave up my career to have kids and have no experience to get a good paying job. I was told by Mrs. Porette that I would have to pay child support, and that it was only fair, because her husband has to pay it. Then she agreed for me to pay 800.00 a month when I don't even bring home that kind of money, they based on money they thought I should be making. Mrs. Porette totally screwed me. She didn't fight for me and seemed to be on my ex's side. I would not recommend her, unless you want to get screwed. I was told if I fight it, she would charge me an extreme amount of money, with no positive or fair outcome.
