Maureen, I want to thank you again for doing a stellar job defending me when I was really unwell and made some really bad and careless decisions at the time. I needed someone to help me navigate through the criminal justice system and you were always there to guide me through it, indeed with much candor. Your sincere efforts to defend me continues to provide a source of strength and comfort as I continue my recovery with mental illness. I look up to you and others who have helped me on my journey and I will never forget those who believed in me and wanted to best for me. We need more lawyers like you who not only truly understand how the legal system works but also treat a client like a genuine human being.
I found Maureen Currie through this advertisement because I had never been charged with an offence before and didn’t know where to turn. She is extremely smart and really good in Court. Maureen made me feel comfortable from the get go. I never had to wait for her to return a call or email. Thanks to her work I don’t have a criminal record. I would recommend this lawyer.
My son was facing serious criminal charges. Maureen was thoroughly professional. It went to trial and she was very prepared and showed excellent examination skills. While she was even handed with police she showed judge that he was mistaken or maybe dishonest. He was found innocent and judge even commmented on her incisive cross examination. She was pricier than another lawyer I was going to hire but must say that her hours were very fair and as a family we more than got what we paid for. Must say that she seemed to work hard for us and she believed in him. He now won’t have a criminal record thanks to her. She went above and beyond for us so I wanted somehow to let others know. It can be so confusing to hire a criminal lawyer.
