TESTIMONIALS
“Maha gives great advice in a down-to-earth way. It is refreshing to speak with a family law attorney like her and I highly recommend her services.”
“I was so thankful to have Maha on my side. She started each conversation by listening well and was able to recommend a strategy based on what she heard. She was always spot-on. I also felt she was advocating for my kids and being fair and realistic with me.”
“Maha was my divorce attorney this year. She is smart, kind, efficient, tenacious, and fearless. I’d put her up against any attorney from any big-name law firm any day of the week. She doesn’t dazzle you with unrealistic babble. She makes a plan with you and then works through the steps to get there – without wasting your time or money unnecessarily. She was my advocate and I trusted her. And we did very well at the end of negotiations.”
