Verified ClientHired Law firm 2024-2025Mara Law is an excellent firm. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and highly efficient. We used them for our estate planning, and the entire process was smooth and straightforward. Even later, when we couldn’t locate certain details in the trust documents, they responded promptly and clearly to our questions. I highly recommend Mara Law for their expertise and outstanding client service.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2021Everyone at Mara Law was exceptional at guiding us through the process of our estate planning. Estate planning was not easy for us to understand and we needed much guidance through the process. I highly recommend this firm.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2019-2020We feel that we were treated professionally and with compassion as we were unexpectedly thrown into the representation of our cousin's estate. Attorney Mara and her staff always answered our questions and took the time to explain things in a clear, concise manner. Having to complete all transactions and correspondence through the Internet since we are 1000 miles away, never became a problem. We not only would recommend this law firm, but we were contacted by a friend just yesterday and we gave her the Mara Law P.A. information.

Consulted Law firm 2023I paid $350 for a 1hr consultation with Wendy Mara to discuss hiring her for Guardian Advocate of my mentally disabled daughter. A few minutes into the meeting Wendy advised me that we wouldn't be needing one hour to discuss things would only take 20 min or so and she would discount my retainer fee. I thought that was fair but realized later that since this was not a flat fee retainer the money she subtracted from the retainer didn't matter cause a retainer is like a deposit and she was just asking for a lower deposit up front but if/ when that amount ran out they would just ask for more so she did not really give me back any money for the time I paid for but didn't get. Very shady! I also went in a year before and was advised no need to file until a few mos before her birthday cause paperwork can't be filed till she turns 18. I thankfully didn't sign any contract during the consultation and then her assistant called me 6 mos before my daughters birthday wanting me to pay the retainer months before they can even start the paperwork? When I questioned her about why they wanted the money so many months early she backed off and said it could wait. After considering all that had transpired I didn't get a sense of trust in working with this firm. When I advised them in writing I will not be hiring them and requested the partial refund owed to me for shorting my consultation time and providing an address where they could send a check they ignored me. To not even give me the courtesy of a response to address what I said about being shorted on the time I paid for is just proof of their shady behavior and disrespect cause if they hadn't done anything wrong and did not owe me a partial refund they would have responded. Taking advantage of a widow in her late 50's trying to raise a teen daughter with severe mental disability all by herself is just shameful! My new attorney gave me a free consultation, flat fee that was hundreds less and did great job! There are much better and more ethical attorneys out there than Wendy Mara but this is just my opinion based on how she treated me and in comparison to the great lawyer I did end up hiring.
