I had a very good experience with Maryse. Before, during and after My court date, She was very superlative and articulate. Overall I can confidently say that Maryse is a Phenomenal Family Attorney.

My only regret with hiring Maryse Allen to represent me to handle some post-divorce issues is that I didn’t do it sooner. She has been knowledgeable, honest, and thorough. She initiated communication and always responded to my emails promptly. Ms Allen made sure I knew what to expect at every step, and I was confident she was working hard for my best outcome. I highly recommend her to anyone facing divorce, custody, or post-divorce issues.

I engaged Maryse Allen as my Divorce attorney last year, and I'm glad I did! She is highly skilled and proactive, anticipating opposing counsel's next moves and contingencies that may arise. Maryse is thorough, professional kind, and clear on next steps, making this difficult process easier to navigate. I would recommend her to anyone needing a Divorce Attorney.

Ms. Allen is an extraordinary attorney. She represented me during a custody suit. She and her team were responsive, efficient, and effective. She was so compelling in the court room that I recovered my legal fees. Ms. Allen has my highest recommendation, without reservation.

Maryse Allen represented me through my divorce. Her calm, determined counsel gave me reassurance and guided me during a devastating time. She successfully filed to have the ex-husband pay child support long before the divorce was final. She fiercely protected my and my children’s interests every step of the way. At trial, she made mincemeat of the Ex-husband’s claims. Maryse achieved an incredible outcome for us—absolutely better than I could’ve ever imagined. I will FOREVER be thankful that she was my attorney.

Maryse Allen is an exceptional attorney. We retained Maryse to represent us in a high-profile, complex, custody case that went to trial. Maryse was professional, responsive to us and opposing counsel, and proved to be an outstanding litigator. We would not hesitate to recommend her.

My case was a rare occurrence and Maryse took it on with clear expectations. I was able to secure shared custody of my nephew which is a rare outcome. Maryse always provided sound advice and helped me through each step of the process. Her professionalism and guidance was excellent. I highly recommend her for those seeking a highly seasoned attorney.

I couldn't have selected a better divorce lawyer than Maryse Allen! I can endorse her professionalism, excellence and guidance. Maryse worked tirelessly on my difficult case and got the best outcome possible for me. It was an emotional struggle my end, but Maryse steered the way forward with results. Can't thank her enough!

Ms. Allen has been the most reliable, honest, and forthright Attorney my children and I have had the pleasure of helping us understand and navigate the legal intrinsic aspects and details of custody issues, abuse, and divorce. Her positive attributes of compassion, intelligence, and realistic ethical and moral value systems, as well as her knowledge base, enable her to approach the issues encompassing post-divorce with children, are a breath of fresh air. Her understanding of the financial constraints and burden of the custody and post-divorce process allows for the most direct approach to alleviating the challenges that one faces, legally and financially, in the most cost-effective way. Ms. Allen is an exceptional Attorney with great empathy. She has displayed legal skill, great determination, and positive acumen in helping me and my children in a highly contested complex custody case. I wholeheartedly highly recommend Ms. Maryse Allen.

I have known Maryse Allen for several years and found her to be an honest and principled attorney who strives for the best possible outcome for her clients. She artfully blends a passion to win with an efficient and effective work ethic. I would be very pleased to have her in my corner in a time of need.

Maryse Allen is the best of the best – she’s strategic, competent, responsive, compassionate, and perhaps most importantly, highly effective in the courtroom! When my then-husband asked me for a divorce in 2019, I knew I needed an exceptional lawyer that I could trust to serve as my advocate for what would become years of protracted litigation. I interviewed five top lawyers from across Northern Virginia and quickly decided on Maryse. Because we routinely prevail, my litigious ex-husband continues to drag me back to court. Over the past nearly four years, Maryse has represented me, repeatedly demonstrating her profound grasp of family law in a client-centered/human-centric way. High-conflict divorce takes a huge emotional toll and in Maryse, I found a lawyer who listens and has my back. I also deeply appreciate her iterative approach to my case, where I am a co-collaborator. She offers me options along with sound legal advice, and then we talk through various approaches, weighing the merits of each in a thoughtful, measured way. I never feel pressured to do something she has suggested; rather, Maryse empowers me with information and gives me the discretion to help chart our course. I imagine that my ex-husband will continue to battle me legally for years to come, and I could not feel more relieved, more comforted, and more confident than I feel with Maryse Allen at my side.

Ms. Allen did a great job on my case. I’m very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend her.
