Maryam Afif – Attorney

quotes

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” —Mae West.

Maryam Afif

After two years honing her legal skills as a staff attorney at the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, Maryam Afif turned her focus to divorce and family law, where it has steadfastly remained for almost twenty years.

With years of divorce and family lawyering under her belt, Maryam, or “Mo,” has personally guided hundreds of clients through divorce, custody, and post-judgment matters.  In addition to her impressive history as an attorney, the Connecticut Judicial Branch has certified Maryam as a Guardian Ad Litem. This experience gives her unique insight and perspective, which she uses to help her clients navigate difficult and complex family law situations.  Maryam also donates her time as a volunteer attorney with the Connecticut Judicial Branch, is a presenter for Continuing Legal Education programming for other family law attorneys and is a Fairfield County Bar Association member.

Mo was a go-getter long before she became an attorney.  By the time she headed to Pace University for law school, she already had a Masters in American Studies from Manhattanville University in hand.  (If you’re a fan of America’s “favorite girl detective,” talk to Maryam about her master’s thesis exploring the post-World War II economic, social, and feminist influences that impacted Nancy Drew’s evolving character.)  Mo excelled in law school, graduating cum laude and earning the prestigious position of Editor-in-Chief of the Pace Law Review.

After more than a decade as the primary divorce attorney in her prior law firm, Maryam chose to further enhance her practice by joining Freed Marcroft’s boutique team of family lawyers. Freed Marcroft’s core values of radical accountability and playing all in for clients particularly resonated with Mo’s personal approach to life and law.

Maryam, her husband, and their rescue boxer/labrador mix, Humphrey, call Stamford home.  In her free time – that is, when she isn’t reading golden age detective novels or catching up on BBC mysteries – Mo’s probably out for a “woggle” (waddle/jog) with Humphrey.  She suspects he may be part kangaroo, but they make it work.
