TESTIMONIALS
Casey H.
"Maya was the mediator during my divorce and was fantastic—thorough in every detail and always clear in her guidance. She communicated consistently and made sure we understood every step of the process. What truly stood out was her emotional intelligence; she created a calm, respectful space during a very difficult time. Her kindness and empathy helped both of us feel seen and supported. We’re incredibly grateful for her professionalism and heart throughout the mediation."

"Maya is wonderful. She is knowledgeable, empathetic, and efficient. I initially got connected with her when I was going through a divorce - she helped me with questions and talked through scenarios on an hourly basis, which worked well at the time. I then got embroiled in a custody dispute ~2 years later. We then signed a retained and she helped me understand the law and find courage to fight for equal custody (which I did not have at the time). After just a few months of working with her, I came to a much better agreement with my ex-spouse and got more than 50% parenting time. I will also add that Maya's billing practices were very fair, and I felt that I was getting an amazing price for the value she was providing. Specifically, Maya reviewed documents many times for me and the time charges were lower than expected. All in all I could not recommend Maya more!"

"Working with Maya Grey has been an absolutely transformative experience. From my very first session, I felt a level of warmth and genuine care that stayed consistent throughout the entire process. Maya doesn’t just provide a service; she provides a supportive environment where you truly feel seen and heard. What stood out to me most was her incredible patience. I never felt rushed or pressured to move faster than I was ready for. She is remarkably thoughtful in her approach, offering guidance that is both practical and deeply insightful. Beyond her own practice, she went above and beyond by providing excellent referrals that were perfectly tailored to my needs. It’s clear that she cares about her clients' holistic well-being even outside of her direct sessions. I am incredibly appreciative of her help and cannot recommend her practice highly enough to anyone looking for a compassionate, dedicated professional."

"Weak, sad, angry, defeated, tired, scared, emotional. Those are a few emotions I was feeling when I was searching for a lawyer. Divorce will be easy. We get along. We are “friends.” We will be divorced in 6 months. Everything is going to be fine. Those are a few lies I was telling myself about divorce. None of which are true. Divorce is hard, especially when children are involved. Maya was an Angel of a lawyer and so graceful and amazing. I know it sounds cliche but it is true. Maya was understanding not just as a lawyer but as parent. A parent who loves their children and wants what is best for them. That is what I wanted out of my divorce. I didn’t want the drama for my sons or myself. I was scared that I wasn’t making the right decisions. Maya would take my calls and answer my emails in minutes with the reassurance she knew I needed. Her words brought me peace of mind and took away my anxiety because there was so much trust in her and her words. As we all know, words mean nothing if there isn’t action to back them up. Maya was my action. She was voice. She was my backbone because throughout my marriage I lost those things. Maya fought for me in a way that reminded me of the person I am and how we should stand up to bullies. She always listened to all of my concerns and never forced me to do anything I did not feel comfortable with. At all times, Maya made sure I was comfortable in what was happening, prepared for what was happening or what could happen, and made sure I was secure in the decision I was making. Thanks to Maya I got more than I thought I could. My son was never taken from me like it was threatened time and time again. I cannot rave about Maya enough. She always made sure I knew she wanted what was best for me and my sons. She is the most professional, understanding, and kind person I have had the pleasure to work with. If you are reading this review, I hope you are feeling the sincerity in it. I would call Maya crying and all shaken up by something else my ex would threaten me with. She was there to reassure me, they were just words and he couldn’t do what he was saying he would do. The confidence in her words gave me security I desperately needed. If you are looking for a family law attorney, I PROMISE you, there is no need to keep reading reviews. Maya is the BEST! Her humanity is unmatched. No matter what, Maya never lied to me. She always gave me both sides of the coin and prepared me for both. She never over promised and under delivered. I can never thank her enough."

Going through a divorce is overwhelming, but Maya Grey made me feel truly heard. I gained more understanding from our one hour together than I did in the entire 2 years I spent with my previous lawyers. She didn't just give me legal advice — she helped me feel validated in what I was going through, while giving me the clarity I needed to know exactly what steps to take next. I'm so grateful for her guidance during such a hard time."

"I don't think anyone plans or wants to go through a divorce. Unfortunately I had to deal with this situation and thankfully I was given a recommendation to reach out to Maya. She quickly met with me and in a patient and professional manner helped me understand the process, considerations and challenges that were upcoming. She also did an amazing job of presenting the differences (including benefits vs. disadvantages) of hiring her in a consulting role compared to full representation. I felt that all times she was guiding me with what was in my best interest financially rather then what could have been best for her. I don't know how often this happens, but following a few months of going through the process, my wife and I decided not to get divorced. It would be hyperbole say that Maya was the reason for our reconciliation. What is fact though is she clearly heard my request from the beginning that I wanted to be fair and reasonable and she helped guide me in a way that kept options open with my wife and I that may not had been there with a more contentious style. I am sure there are cases that a more aggressive style is required and I can only imagine that Maya would handle those cases as adroitly. I highly recommend Maya and hope that if you have to deal with something as miserable as a divorce you have the opportunity to work with her."

"Maya Grey was a pleasure to work with. When I found her I was exasperated and worn out from the mediation process. She was very knowledgable and professional. She addressed all the questions I had with patience and compassion, taking care to understand where I was coming from and addressing my worries from a legal standpoint, and a caring perspective. I only wish I had met her earlier in my divorce proceedings so I could have hired her as my mediator instead of ending up with the ineffective mediator my ex chose."
"Maya is deeply understanding and empathetic toward each person’s situation. She embodies professionalism while remaining clear, caring, and resourceful. It’s evident that Maya genuinely wants to support you in making the best decisions—not only for yourself, but for the greater good of everyone involved. She is truly a gem, and her services are exceptional. Working with Maya feels like an investment that brings lasting value."

"I had a great experience working with Maya on a pre-marital agreement. She is friendly, patient, professional, and very detail-oriented. She told my partner and me about our different options and walked through the process in detail. Since we went with a mediated pre-marital agreement, I was able to compare working with her with the experience of my partner and our mediator. Maya explained everything to me in much more detail, providing background and alternatives, and made sure I understood every line of the agreement. She also summarized all the choices we made that deviated from standard California law for future reference. I would definitely recommend Maya if you are looking for a good, thorough family lawyer!"

I am so grateful that a service like what Maya offers exists. When you have a legal situation but you're not trained in the law, things can get very confusing. Sometimes you don't necessarily want to take action, you just want to know what your options are.
Maya's consultative services offer a safe and trustworthy space to have a conversation about legal situations, and to understand options and next steps. Since she doesn't represent her clients, there's no pressure to feel like you're being swayed one way or the other- she just genuinely wants to provide facts and help the people she consults with. On top of being incredibly informative, honest, and knowledgeable, she is also compassionate and kind in her consultations. If you're not sure how to navigate a legal situation, she is a great first step to understanding your options.

"I initially met Maya a few years when I took part in a focus group for a “Divorce 101” workshop. At the time, I was freshly reconciled with my husband after a one-month separation, but knew she would be a good contact to have. Right away, I could tell she was an incredibly compassionate family attorney. Maya truly wants clients to understand both the daunting process of divorce, as well as their rights and what NOT to give up (very important for women!). Fast forward to a month or so ago, I was was ready to take the step toward separation and divorce again. I didn’t hesitate to book a consultation with Maya and am SO glad I did. She provided amazing and thorough education on things I need to consider before filing the petition, as well as what should absolutely be included in the judgement down the line. What impressed me is that there was zero pressure to retain her, rather she recommended I look into her DIY templates/videos and then book another consultation or two when it’s time to craft the judgement. Thank you so much Maya! I feel so much better with you in my corner!"

"I write this review with the excitement to share my amazing experience with Maya. Maya's attention to detail, skills, experience and care for the client, was the main reason why I got both my kids back. As I battled an unfair restraining orders, custody battles of two kids with two different mothers and experiencing the vast confusion of the court system and laws. Maya was there to educate me, guide me, and make me understand each step of the way. At the end of my long battles in court, I finally got the results I wanted, I get to see my two girls, no restraining orders, and have a fair 50/50 share custody with my kids. My daughters call her, their super hero. They always tell me that, if anything happens to us, we can always call Maya! This may sound a little cheesy, but coming from my girls, this means TRUST. We know we can always count on Maya. Her experience and her care for her clients is exceptional! She responds fast and is always clear with her explanations. Her quality of work is clean and precise. We thank Maya for keeping our family together! I highly recommend to hire Maya! You will NOT regret it!"
