Maya is an excellent family lawyer and absolutely worth hiring. Here are the criteria that were important when I was looking for a lawyer to help with my divorce: 1) Overall personality: a lawyer must be trustworthy and also easy to work with (there is a lot of back and forth). I interviewed Maya along with several other lawyers and after working with her for a year (which was not what either of us had hoped to spend on the divorce), I can only say good things about the above. 2) Price: her hourly rate is in line with most family lawyers. While there are some work-discount programs and also private practice laywers that may have a lower hourly rate, being at a firm has the benefit that for smaller tasks, Maya had the support of a paralegal who bills at a much lower rate. 3) Efficiency: This is wrapped up in price because if someone bills at half the hourly rate, but takes twice as long to do something, the amount of money spent is the same, but...the task took twice as long. This is tough to gauge beforehand, but I will tell you that Maya works fast and her work product is excellent (intelligent and insightful comments on documents, deep knowledge of the system and the law). 4) Results: This, also, is tough to determine beforehand. Here is what I will say: Maya is excellent in court and when push comes to shove, she will throw down the gauntlet and advocate in a respectful, but firm way. She was able to send specific, motivating emails to opposing counsel that got results at critical points in time. Overall, Maya is an excellent choice she is reasonable and would tell me when what I was asking was not. Honestly, I have no points of criticism. You can do your due diligence in seeking a family lawyer, but if you want to simplify the process, hire her and never look back.

Maya has been amazing to work with. I hired her during a very complicated time in my life, and I was treated with the utmost respect at all times. She was able to help me through my divorce in a caring, but professional manner, and I was always updated promptly when there were any updates to my case. I recommend Maya because she is honest, hard-working and is committed to getting you a fair settlement.

I appreciated Maya's compassion as much as her knowledge and skills. She knew a lot about the hard issues and was able to negotiate a great settlement for me, but also helped me see how our dissolution would impact our children. I highly recommend her and have already referred a friend to her. If you have to go through a divorce, you should have someone who treats you with respect and works hard for you.

Maya helped me through one of the hardest periods of my life. I appreciated that she gave me all options and felt like she protected me. She really cared about the outcome and it showed.

Maya is not only intellegent and carring she does more for a client than can be imagined. I met Maya throught Bradley Johnson attornies. She was assigned to my case after a couple of lawyers had come and gone because of different difficulties. Maya took a personal interest in me and my family. What she has done to support me and my family has been priceless. Althought I never thought that i would want to be a lawyer Maya is an insparation to me. How wonderful to help women or men to escape the terrible, abusive situation that a marriage can become. Maya and I are now fighting for me to get to see my children because of and incident that I had with the law. She makes me feel like I can survive this fight and she is my Gladiator.
