Bio
Katy Dekker
Having worked directly with Maria for over a year, I can say that Maria is an outstanding all-around professional. Maria is knowledgeable in the area of family law, and she is compassionate towards her clients. Maria is easy to be around and she is aggressive in the courtroom. She will get things done! If I needed an attorney, she would be the one I would turn to first.
Jennifer Henson
Maria is a tenacious advocate who truly cares about her clients. She maintains a good working relationship with opposing counsels and, if possible, always searches for a reasonable and workable resolution for all parties involved. However, not all matters can be resolved amicably and, when necessary, Maria won't hesitate to do battle on behalf of her clients.
