Maggy’s trial record is marked by consistent success, whether securing defense verdicts on behalf of clients while facing down mountains of adverse evidence or steering complicated matters towards effective resolution through appellate or settlement options.

In New York, Maggy is a fixture in courtrooms throughout the five boroughs of the city, particularly in the Bronx, where she is often entrusted with difficult, nuanced cases involving substantial exposure. She has also gotten positive results in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Judges respect Maggy’s tenacity and preparation, while juries consistently respond well to her clear, compelling storytelling and trial acumen.

She has successfully defended major utilities, municipalities, landlords, construction companies and a diverse array of other commercial clients.
