Crystal M. Maldonado

A consummate professional who guided me through a difficult divorce

When my marriage of fifteen years ended, I was overwhelmed and anxious about the legal process. I chose Crystal Maldonado based on her long-standing reputation in Manchester and her specific recognition in family law. From our first consultation at Shaheen & Gordon, her 17 years of experience were evident. She didn't just handle the paperwork; she provided a clear, strategic roadmap for navigating child custody and asset division. Her deep knowledge of New Hampshire family law, honed since her graduation from UNH Franklin Pierce in 2008, was invaluable. Crystal was both a fierce advocate and a calming presence, explaining every option without legal jargon. Her professionalism never wavered, even when negotiations became tense, and she secured a settlement that protected my children's future and my financial stability. The recognition she's received from Best Lawyers since 2021 is well-deserved. I felt genuinely represented by an expert who cared about the outcome as much as I did.
