Clients say:

Great Experience and Very Pleased! I not only recommend attorney Maureen Toomey, but I guarantee once you have used her service you too will look no further. She responds on time, and she is a very knowledgeable, trustworthy person. My divorce was settled with a Separation Contract so I never had to got to Court. There is no other attorney who will work ass hard for you. I used Maureen and she is a wonderful attorney. I could not have been happier, and I will never go anywhere else.

I am going through a divorce. It is not simple in the slightest. It involves domestic violence, military and children. I had been overwhelmed and frustrated. After many sleepless nights and stressful days, I started working with Maureen. She came to my home so it was easier for me and my kids and she was always a phone call away if I had a question or concern. Divorces are not easy and I can't imagine not having Maureen Toomey to help me through it. L.D., Oak Harbor

I can highly recommend Maureen Toomey for those in need of a professional and caring lawyer. I was in a complicated divorce for over three years from an abuser and Maureen Toomey stepped up for me and made me feel like everything was going to be ok and work out. Jennifer, Bellingham

11th hour champion. I began a difficult divorce acting as my own attorney and honestly made several big mistakes. Just prior to a hearing that would determine a parenting plan, Maureen dove in and helped me detangle the confusion. She went out of her way to sort out in very short order the response that i had put together in the worst pro-se fashion, and helped weed out I needed to present or remove. The end result was successful at the hearing and the outcome far greater than I had anticipated. Maureen acted very quickly and fairly and took into consideration that I was very shaken emotionally. Thank you Maureen! Geoff, Mt. Vernon.

We want to thank Maureen for her hard work and dedication throughout our adoption process. We could not have found a better attorney, woman, and friend to help us complete our family. We are forever grateful. A.B. and S.B., Bellingham

I was having trouble sticking to my convictions on a divorce and parenting plan. What a relief to work with Maureen. She helped me every step of the way, when I was ready, and listened to all of my needs. I am in a great place now with all of this behind me. N.S, Bellingham

Wonderfully empathetic. Maureen has been a beacon of light in the struggle of family law. Her insight is colored with empathy and kindness, and she has shown herself to be knowledgeable in all aspects of the case I delt with! Please give her a call and reclaim some peace of mind.

Maureen helped my son and I through a very difficult period in our life. I was scared and at a loss of what to do with my situation. She was caring, understanding and listened to EVERYTHING I wanted from my parenting plan. I was in constant contact with her and she was available whenever I needed her. She not only helped me step by step through the process, she explained to me everything that was going on. She truly was an angel sent from above to help us. I just wanna say thank you Maureen. From the boltom of both our hearts. Thank you! Nikole, Bellingham

Never went to Court. Maureen was amazing, she has been more than available and accomodating to all of my needs. Compassionate and hard working. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through this process. Brandi Bartel, Bellingham.

We had a pretty unique adoption situation that no one really had seemed to experience. Maureen sat down with me and felt that she would be able to straighten it out. She was able to cut through the red tape quickly and in a very short period of time the adoption was complete. With her resources, she found a qualified person to do the home study in short order. Maureen was very easy to work with and quite flexible. Randy, Bellingham.

Great, thorough, friendly and knowledgeable. Anonymous, Bellingham.

I came to Maureen with a case of extraordinary circumstances. My sons had been withheld from me by their mother, who absconded my sons to the United States. Me, living and unable to enter the country had no means to compel her to allow me to speak to, let alone see my two sons who were 2 and 4 at the time. Within three months, Maureen had processed, served and taken my sons' mother to court. This past weekend, I got to hug my boys, and we spent the weekend, the first of which will be many, in the parks and beaches of Vancouver. There is no feeling like the relief of getting to feel the hug of your most precious people again. I recommend Ms. Toomey for her results, compassion and energy that she brought to my situation. Me and my boys can't thank her enough. Lee, Vancouver, Canada.

`Great lawyer, thorough, friendly and knowledgeable. Anonymous, Bellingham

Maureen could be a bit scattered sometimes but for the most part, she was amazing. She knew more about a double adoption than any other lawyer I was able to find. She anticipated when the Courts would need things and what you should do. She was extremely wiling to answer any questions we had. Very helpful in the adoption, we had zero problems along the way. Pentecost why she is cheaper than anyone else! Thank you so much. Dana, Bellingham.

Maureen helped me through my case with my daughter's father. There were lot's of steps involved and she always answered my questions. I am so thankful and grateful for her help with all of it, and now I am able to keep my daughter safe. Emily, Bellingham.

Father in Need. I was going through a difficult time with my wife taking my kids, and to make it worse, there was no attorney that could help me. I contacted Maureen and she let me know that being the beginning of summer most attorney's are tied up, or planning vacations. She said she herself was busy, but she could sense the worry in me and would be willing to help if I could work around her schedule. She went out of her way to make sure all my paperwork for the court was perfect. She was very reasonable on how she charged me for her time. I know she worked off the clock for me numerous times. She was on point when it came time to stand by me in court and she got my kids back for me so I could be a father to them. Hands down I would say she was my savior in a time of crisis. Frankie, Bellingham.
