For Maria Girgis, practicing law is about more than resolving legal disputes; it is about helping people feel supported during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. She understands how intimidating and inaccessible the legal system can seem, particularly for individuals recovering from serious injuries. That is why she is committed to providing every client with clear communication, compassionate guidance, and dedicated advocacy from the moment they reach out for help.
Maria’s path to the legal profession began with a passion for science, facts, and logical reasoning. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Genetics from Rutgers University before attending the University of California, Irvine School of Law, where she was drawn to the school’s renowned clinical program and rigorous legal curriculum. During law school, Maria participated in the Environmental Law Clinic and dedicated countless hours to pro bono work, assisting clients in criminal, immigration, and housing matters. These experiences reinforced her commitment to serving individuals who might otherwise struggle to access quality legal representation.
Before joining RMD Law, Maria gained experience across a broad range of legal practice areas, including exoneration work, consumer protection, and workers’ compensation defense. Working on behalf of individuals facing complex legal challenges strengthened her advocacy skills and deepened her appreciation for the meaningful impact attorneys can have on people’s lives. Today, she brings that same dedication to representing injury victims, helping clients pursue the compensation they deserve while ensuring they feel heard, informed, and supported throughout the legal process.
Maria joined RMD Law because she wanted to use her legal skills to make a meaningful difference for people during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. She is proud to be part of a firm that shares her commitment to compassionate, client-focused advocacy and works tirelessly to help injured individuals rebuild after unexpected accidents.
Outside of the office, Maria enjoys exploring new cafés and restaurants, serving her community through her church, reading, and spending time at the beach.
