Maria Magalhães is a receptionist at Brooks Law and one of the first friendly faces clients encounter when they walk through our doors. She welcomes clients, supports the front desk, and ensures that every person who arrives feels comfortable, understood, and well taken care of. Whether she’s greeting visitors, guiding them to the right department, or helping the team with day-to-day needs, Maria brings warmth and professionalism to each interaction.

What Maria enjoys most about working at Brooks Law is the incredibly supportive atmosphere. From her very first day, she felt welcomed by a team that is genuinely friendly, helpful, and committed to one another’s success. Being part of a workplace where people truly care—about both their clients and their colleagues—makes her love what she does even more.

Building trust begins at the front desk, and she takes pride in offering a calming, reassuring presence to clients who may be nervous or unsure about their legal situation. Learning the office flow quickly and growing more confident with each client interaction has been one of her favorite accomplishments so far.

A guiding principle she lives by is simple:

“Treat people the way you want to be treated.”

It’s the mindset she brings to every conversation and the reason clients immediately feel at ease with her.

Outside the office, Maria enjoys exploring new restaurants, spending time with family and friends, and relaxing at home with her favorite shows. She loves discovering fun spots around the area and making the most of her free time.

Maria approaches client relationships with patience, empathy, and positivity. Her goal is to ensure every client feels supported from the moment they arrive and confident that they are in good hands. The advice she wishes more people knew is straightforward but important:

Don’t wait to reach out for legal help—getting guidance early makes all the difference.
