Before joining Buchanan, Maria worked as an associate attorney for a boutique law firm specializing in the representation of plaintiffs in catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death actions.

Her commitment to understanding each client's specific circumstances sets her apart as a versatile and effective litigator.

Drawing from her diverse background of representing both plaintiffs and defendants, Maria possesses the unique ability to view legal issues from multiple perspectives. This duality equips her with the skill to change hats with ease and finesse, enabling her to anticipate and counter challenges and develop strategic solutions for her clients.
