With expansive experience representing clients in the Life Sciences and Health Care industry, Maria counsels medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers, health service organizations, and individual providers. She also serves clients in the environmental, real estate, financial services, and construction industries.

Maria recognizes the importance of sound legal advice to her clients' continued financial health and success.

Believing firmly that lawyers have a responsibility to serve the communities in which they work and live, Maria spends a fair amount of her time outside of work in service to the bar and to indigent clients.
