Maria
Cognetti

“My experience with Cognetti Law Group was superlative. I went through a very complicated, messy and traumatic divorce. The Cognetti group saw me through it with great professionalism , skill and empathy. They protected by inheritance despite a fierce fight from my ex-husband to steal from it from me. I owe my sanity during that period to my excellent representation by this firm.”

“I made a very wise decision choosing Cognetti Law Group to represent me in my divorce. I initially sought them out after a strong recommendation from a friend who had faced Maria as opposing counsel. I also checked with contacts in the legal and accounting fields and received consistently high praise. As a business owner with two school-aged children, my situation is complex. Divorce is challenging on its own, and most of my focus needs to be on helping my boys navigate these changes while continuing to run my business. Having Maria in my corner has been a huge relief. Her experience and judgment give me real confidence in both the process and the outcome. Maria and her team are consistently prepared, sharp, and highly responsive. Just as important, she brings a personable, grounded approach that helps steady things when emotions run high. That combination of strength and practicality makes a meaningful difference. Cognetti Law Group is outstanding, and I’m confident I have the best on my side.”

“Extremely professional and knowledgeable law office you are treated as an individual not a number. They truly care about your outcome. All the staff are very nice and helpful Which is wonderful during a very stressful time of life.”

“Avoid this firm! After paying 12k to this firm within a short period of time, I was told to find a new counsel ( via phone call) due to the retirement of my attorney. My case was 30 days away at this point. I called the firm to inquire about my options . I was then transferred to Maria Cognetti, who was extremely rude to me and kept saying I couldn't afford her and that her retainer starts at 20k, and she refuses to take my case. My case had one court date left. All other tasks had been completed. Lynn ( her front desk) called back almost immediately and stated both attorney's spoke and attorney Kendall agreed to continue my case BUT the retainer had now gone up TWO THOUSAND more dollars than the original bill I received a day or two prior. When I questioned Lynn regarding the retainer increase, she stated it was due to attorney Kendalls retirement. I then called to question that & I was transferred back to Maria. She then told me he wasn't taking the case period. I then asked Maria if the judge had honored attorney Kendalls withdrawal on my case. The next morning, attorney Kendall emailed me and said he would take my case for the original retainer amount. They only care about the money. The fees were outrageous. I paid $170 for attorney Kendall to review a three worded email. Go anywhere else! I obviously obtained a new attorney after this who handled my case with care.”

“I've had two experiences with this woman. First time was positive. Second time (years later) her firm refused to take a meeting with me. Unless you have a lot of money you need to get the help you need elsewhere.”
