Had to deal with a lying con-artist ex wife who was collecting alimony while co-habitating with her fiancé. Mara is knowledgeable, professional and a straight shooter. I always felt in good hands through the stressful process. She fought for me with all of her experience and energy. The outcome was something I could accept and move on from. I’m extremely satisfied with Mara’s work and would absolutely recommend her to someone seeking a great attorney.

If you are feeling unsure about which attorney to hire, look no further! Thanks to Mara's hard work and courtroom/mediation success I have been able to move forward and protect my family. Mara never dismissed my concerns or pushed her own agenda. Unlike other law firms, it is absolutely clear that Mara takes the time and reviews the information first hand and does not rely on her para to brief her on each client's case. She is prompt in her responses and fiercely protected what mattered most to me! She listened to the history of my situation, as I had left another law firm, and quickly moved forward with great success. Her matter of fact style has given me great comfort and I feel confident that she will always guide me in the right direction. Articulate, fierce, compassionate, and successful; that is Mara Dooskin.

Mara and Jennifer were excellent. They were easily available to answer any questions I have , even during lockdown time. I didnt have to worry about a thing for my divorce case. Thank you for everything you do. I highly recommend them.

My case was a very “emotional” one for my son and I. Mara was kind, patient and compassionate. She is very professional, and got us the outcome we hoped for.

Mara represented me on a false tro filed by my ex wife. Mara is very thorough and professional. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Glad she was on my side. She knows her way around the courtroom and trial ready.

Mara Dooskin went above and beyond for me. She gave me legal AND loving advice... since DAY 1 at the FREE CONSULTATION. She always followed up. On top of that she's FIERCE. The opposing parties lawyer was trying his best to intimidate, threaten, and talk down to her. She wasn't buying it. She remained calm and calculated. She knew when to make her moves. Had an amazing turn out with my case! Mara you're seriously the best! If I ever need a lawyer, I know who to call. THANK YOU!!!!

Initially, I sought out and hired Mara for a DV case. She was very informative, patient, available and compassionate from the beginning. My case quickly turned into a divorce- and Mara guided me through every step. I always felt comfortable talking with Mara, and she answered all my questions. She always returned my calls and emails quickly. Mara is a good listener and an excellent advocate. She understands what the client is looking for. She is very good at calming the situation down. This process is a very difficult one, but having an intelligent, attentive, compassionate attorney by your side can alleviate some of the stress and anxiety. Mara did that for me. Thanks, Mara!!
