Maura Riley provided exceptional counsel during a stressful SEC inquiry that threatened my professional reputation. Her background in white-collar defense, including her recognition by Best Lawyers, was immediately evident in her strategic approach. She meticulously dissected the complexities of the case, explaining our options with clarity and without unnecessary legal jargon. Based in Los Angeles but handling matters statewide, her understanding of both federal and California law was comprehensive. While her billing was transparent and fair for the high level of expertise provided, communication during non-critical periods could occasionally take a day to receive a response. That minor point aside, her diligent preparation and calm, confident demeanor were invaluable. I felt thoroughly represented and would confidently recommend her to anyone facing similar serious legal challenges.
