What her clients say about Maria
” Maria was with another firm when I initially went to her after being with a less experienced solicitor who had actually made things much worse.
After showing the reports and documents she was very quick to point out both social services and former solicitor has got it so wrong … (I knew this hence I went to Maria).
I took over four years due to the neglect from previous solicitor and social services mess, but Maria took the bull by the horns and ran with this! We got what we set out to achieve and the stability of the grandchild and only with Marias help we were successful eventually.
The costs were high financially and that was a massive heavy burden but from the previous less costly solicitor it is a cost that was worthy! In our case low-cost shoddy solicitor gave up too easy when they get challenged and are out of their depth. If you want results, you will get them with Maria.”
