When confronted with matrimonial issues, one can be easily overwhelmed and at times confused about the best course of action. Place your trust in the wrong attorney and the outcome can be severely damaging. I engaged Maria almost 5 years ago. I couldn't have made a better decision. Any amount of praise and respect extolled upon Maria, would still not completely reflect how great she is. From the very beginning, her professionalism and expertise obvious. However, what is truly remarkable was the guidance she provided. Her sage advice and representation resulted in a wonderful outcome for all parties despite constantly being confronted with obstacles. She was always candid and an expert at de-escalating troublesome situations. From my experience and conversations with others, Maria Coffinas is undeniably at the top of the pyramid. Engage her as your attorney. You will not regret it. One more point that should not be ignored. Her staff is first class. Call them once, and they respond without hesitation. I am proud to say, "That I am Maria's client.."

Let's be honest when you are looking for this type of lawyer you are emotional and it is very easy to be taken advantage of. You can put your trust in Maria Coffinas & colleagues. Honesty and communication was priority #1. I was always kept informed via email/regular mail where everything stood. I had a difficult case which had it not been for Maria would have fizzled out due to the lack of cooperation from the other side. I am thankful for the work that she did and I was happy with the settlement.

Prior to meeting Meredith Lusthaus and Maria Coffinas, I had gone the cheap way and within weeks I lost custody of my son. Worst time of my life. I was recommended to Coffinas and Lusthaus and so glad I made the switch to their firm. Meredith Lusthaus was incredibly tough but also looking at the big picture to get it resolved. No unnecessary bickering. Just muscles when counterpart would not collaborate. Very happy with my choice.

How many times a litigant would send flowers to her attorney and a box of chocolates to her staff for going above and beyond the call of duty? Maria Coffinas was remarkable throughout my highly contested 2-year divorce action. Maria is not only extremely knowledgeable about the law, but she is also very intelligent and tactful in handling the opposing counsel. You want an attorney who has uncompromised integrity, who is an expert in family law and who is extremely well respected by judges and attorneys; Maria has all these attributes. I have a tremendous level of admiration, respect and gratitude to Maria for handling my case in the most effective possible way. I will retain Maria Coffinas again and I am happy to highly recommend her practice.
