Maureen is an excellent lawyer. We hired her for a difficult case in removing an executor. Between the time we contacted her to her filing an injunction was less than a month. We were able to get an agreement assigned and new executor in place without having to go to court less then a month after the injunction. She gives great advice and knows what she is doing. She also takes the time to listen. She is very responsive and keeps things moving.

Maureen Cosgrove is the absolute best. I worked with Maureen on my often-contentious divorce. She guided me carefully and expertly through one of the most difficult moments of my life to an outcome I feel great about. She was tough, precise, confident and incredibly understanding of my emotionality. I absolutely adore her and now consider her a friend. She consistently and quickly responded to my emails, calls--and though she is no longer on retainer, she still does, if I have a question that arises. Maureen always made me feel like I had the BEST lawyer and a partner in my legal action--not a boss or an employee, but a true partner. She never rushed me. We discussed everything and I felt like walking into her law office was a place I felt "safe" and "heard" during a time in life where I rarely felt that. I adore Maureen.

My friend and I first hired Maureen when a so called friend turned against us because she failed at her job and wanted her personal investment in her own LLC back. We were all very upset and Maureen put our minds at ease right away. She handled the situation quickly and efficiently. We would use her again in a heartbeat.

Maureen advocated for me when I wasn't sure what to even ask for. She answered any questions I had and got back to me quickly. She was very empathetic towards my situation and was the person I needed to have my back.

I appreciated the council Maureen provided. She was able to look at a complex situation, present my options to me in a way that was easy to understand and realistic. I appreciate that she left the actual decision up to me, and fought for me and what was most important to me. I highly recommend Maureen!

Maureen was straight up with me since day one, she never sugar coated anything, and kept it 100 with me. We created a solution together, she took into consideration all of my concerns and never hesitated to return my e-mails or phone calls. I sincerely appreciate all that she has done for me and my family through this rough past year. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking out legal assistance.

Maureen was amazing !! Our daughter got hit by a car a suffered injuries . There were issues with liability because our daughter did not cross in a cross walk and Maureen explained these issues with us from the beginning. It has been a year and 5 months and she never gave up and worked diligently to get us the best outcome. We wound up getting almost twice as much as we were first offered . She kept us informed the whole time and got back to us in a timely manner if we had any questions or concerns. We could not be more pleased with the outcome and her diligence. Thank you so much !

Maureen walked me through the entire divorce process and gave me options and advice throughout the whole ordeal. It was great having someone in my corner the entire time. She also had no problem telling me things I didn’t want to hear, so I wouldn’t be surprised during any part of the process. I would definitely recommend Maureen to anyone in need of a straight shooting attorney to help get you through your divorce

I hired Maureen because she gives it to you straight; where you stand, what the odds are, and what the possible outcomes are. She will also go full steam on whatever you choose. If she lays out A, B, and C, and says option A is your best bet, but you decide you really want option B, she will give B everything she's got. This is why you hire a lawyer. She knows the details to give you the information you need and make a recommendation, but whatever you choose she will pursue it with tenacity. I highly recommend.
